IMutableModel Interface

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata

Assembly:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.dll

Package:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore v8.0.0

Metadata about the shape of entities, the relationships between them, and how they map to the database. A model is typically created by overriding the OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder) method on a derived DbContext.

public interface IMutableModel : Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IMutableAnnotatable, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IReadOnlyModel

type IMutableModel = interface
    interface IReadOnlyModel
    interface IReadOnlyAnnotatable
    interface IMutableAnnotatable

Public Interface IMutableModel
Implements IMutableAnnotatable, IReadOnlyModel

Implements

IMutableAnnotatable IReadOnlyAnnotatable IReadOnlyModel

Remarks

This interface is used during model creation and allows the metadata to be modified. Once the model is built, IModel represents a read-only view of the same metadata.

See Modeling entity types and relationships for more information and examples.

Properties

Item[String]

Gets the value of the annotation with the given name, returning null if it does not exist. (Inherited from IReadOnlyAnnotatable)

ModelId

This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release. (Inherited from IReadOnlyModel)

Methods

AddAnnotation(String, Object)	Adds an annotation to this object. Throws if an annotation with the specified name already exists. (Inherited from IMutableAnnotatable)
AddAnnotations(IEnumerable<IAnnotation>)	Adds annotations to an object. (Inherited from IMutableAnnotatable)
AddEntityType(String)	Adds an entity type of default type to the model.
AddEntityType(String, String, IMutableEntityType)	Adds an owned entity type with a defining navigation to the model.
AddEntityType(String, Type)	Adds a shared type entity type to the model.
AddEntityType(Type)	Adds an entity type to the model.
AddEntityType(Type, String, IMutableEntityType)	Adds an owned entity type with a defining navigation to the model.
AddIgnored(String)	Marks the given entity type name as ignored, preventing conventions from adding a matching entity type to the model.
AddIgnored(Type)	Marks the given entity type as ignored, preventing conventions from adding a matching entity type to the model.
AddOwned(Type)	Marks the given entity type as owned, indicating that when discovered matching entity types should be configured as owned.
AddOwnedEntityType(String)	Adds an owned entity type of default type to the model.
AddOwnedEntityType(String, Type)	Adds an owned shared type entity type to the model.
AddOwnedEntityType(Type)	Adds an owned entity type to the model.

AnnotationsToDebugString(Int32)	Gets the debug string for all annotations declared on the object. (Inherited from IReadOnlyAnnotatable)
DelayConventions()	Prevents conventions from being executed immediately when a metadata aspect is modified. All the delayed conventions will be executed after the returned object is disposed.
FinalizeModel()	Forces post-processing on the model such that it is ready for use by the runtime. This post- processing happens automatically when using OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder); this method allows it to be run explicitly in cases where the automatic execution is not possible.
FindAnnotation(String)	Gets the annotation with the given name, returning null if it does not exist. (Inherited from IReadOnlyAnnotatable)

IsIgnored(Type)	Indicates whether the given entity type name is ignored.
IsOwned(Type)	Returns a value indicating whether the entity types using the given type should be configured as owned types when discovered by conventions.

RemoveIgnored(Type)	Removes the ignored entity type.
RemoveOwned(Type)	Removes the given owned type, indicating that when discovered matching entity types should not be configured as owned.
RemoveShared(Type)	Marks the given type as not shared, indicating that when discovered matching entity types should not be configured as shared type entity types.
SetAnnotation(String, Object)	Sets the annotation stored under the given key. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists. (Inherited from IMutableAnnotatable)
SetChangeTrackingStrategy(Nullable<ChangeTrackingStrategy>)	Sets the default change tracking strategy to use for entities in the model. This strategy indicates how the context detects changes to properties for an instance of an entity type.
SetOrRemoveAnnotation(String, Object)	Sets the annotation stored under the given name. Overwrites the existing annotation if an annotation with the specified name already exists. Removes the existing annotation if null is supplied. (Inherited from IMutableAnnotatable)
