IConventionModelBuilder Interface

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders

Assembly:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.dll

Package:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore v8.0.0

Provides a simple API surface for configuring an IConventionModelBuilder from conventions.

This interface is typically used by database providers (and other extensions). It is generally not used in application code.

public interface IConventionModelBuilder : Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders.IConventionAnnotatableBuilder

type IConventionModelBuilder = interface
    interface IConventionAnnotatableBuilder

Public Interface IConventionModelBuilder
Implements IConventionAnnotatableBuilder

Implements

IConventionAnnotatableBuilder

Remarks

See Model building conventions for more information and examples.

Properties

Metadata	Gets the model being configured.
ModelBuilder	Gets the model builder. (Inherited from IConventionAnnotatableBuilder)

CanSetPropertyAccessMode(Nullable<PropertyAccessMode>, Boolean)	Returns a value indicating whether the given property access mode can be set from the current configuration source
ComplexType(Type, Boolean)	Marks a type as complex. All references to this type will be configured as complex properties.
Entity(String, Nullable<Boolean>, Boolean)	Returns an object that can be used to configure a given entity type in the model. If an entity type with the provided name is not already part of the model, a new shadow entity type will be added to the model.
Entity(String, String, IConventionEntityType, Boolean)	Returns an object that can be used to configure a given entity type with defining navigation. If an entity type with the provided name is not already part of the model, a new shadow entity type will be added to the model.
Entity(Type, Nullable<Boolean>, Boolean)	Returns an object that can be used to configure a given entity type in the model. If an entity type with the provided type is not already part of the model, a new entity type will be added to the model.
Entity(Type, String, IConventionEntityType, Boolean)	Returns an object that can be used to configure a given entity type with defining navigation. If an entity type with the provided type is not already part of the model, a new entity type will be added to the model.
HasAnnotation(String, Object, Boolean)	Sets the annotation stored under the given name. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists with same or lower ConfigurationSource.
HasChangeTrackingStrategy(Nullable<ChangeTrackingStrategy>, Boolean)	Configures the default ChangeTrackingStrategy to be used for this model. This strategy indicates how the context detects changes to properties for an instance of an entity type.
HasNoAnnotation(String, Boolean)	Removes the annotation with the given name from this object.
HasNoEntityType(IConventionEntityType, Boolean)	Removes the given entity type from the model.
HasNonNullAnnotation(String, Object, Boolean)	Sets the annotation stored under the given name. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists with same or lower ConfigurationSource. Removes the annotation if null value is specified.
Ignore(String, Boolean)	Excludes the given entity type name from the model and prevents it from being added by convention.
Ignore(Type, Boolean)	Excludes the given entity type from the model and prevents it from being added by convention.
IsIgnored(String, Boolean)	Indicates whether the given entity type name is ignored for the current configuration source.
IsIgnored(Type, Boolean)	Indicates whether the given entity type name is ignored for the current configuration source.
Owned(Type, Boolean)	Marks an entity type as owned. All references to this type will be configured as separate owned type instances.
SharedTypeEntity(String, Type, Nullable<Boolean>, Boolean)	Returns an object that can be used to configure a given shared type entity type in the model.
UsePropertyAccessMode(Nullable<PropertyAccessMode>, Boolean)	Sets the PropertyAccessMode to use for all properties of this entity type.

Extension Methods

HasDefaultContainer(IConventionModelBuilder, String, Boolean)	Configures the default container name that will be used if no name is explicitly configured for an entity type.
HasThroughput(IConventionModelBuilder, Nullable<Int32>, Boolean, Boolean)	Configures the provisioned throughput.
CanSetCollation(IConventionModelBuilder, String, Boolean)	Returns a value indicating whether the given collation can be set as default.
CanSetDefaultSchema(IConventionModelBuilder, String, Boolean)	Returns a value indicating whether the given schema can be set as default.
CanSetMaxIdentifierLength(IConventionModelBuilder, Nullable<Int32>, Boolean)	Returns a value indicating whether the maximum length allowed for store identifiers can be set.
HasDbFunction(IConventionModelBuilder, MethodInfo, Boolean)	Configures a relational database function.
HasDbFunction(IConventionModelBuilder, String, Type, Boolean)	Configures a relational database function.
HasDefaultSchema(IConventionModelBuilder, String, Boolean)	Configures the default schema that database objects should be created in, if no schema is explicitly configured.
HasMaxIdentifierLength(IConventionModelBuilder, Nullable<Int32>, Boolean)	Configures the maximum length allowed for store identifiers.
HasSequence(IConventionModelBuilder, String, String, Boolean)	Configures a database sequence when targeting a relational database.
