Improvements to model building and conventions

Open ajcvickers opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

This an "epic" issue for the theme of improving model building conventions. Specific pieces of work will be tracked by linked issues.

Done in 6.0

[x] Pre-convention model configuration #12229
[x] Mechanism/API to specify a default conversion for any property of a given type in the model #10784
[x] Support Ignore() for non entity type candidates #3867
[x] Add overloads of UsingEntity() that take advantage of conventions #21535
[x] Warn when uniquifying an FK column name #20435
[x] Uniquify and validate Check Constraint name #18958

Proposed for 7.0

[x] Model Definition: Custom conventions #214
[ ] Move detection of ColumnAttribute in RelationalTypeMappingInfo to conventions #11124
[ ] Uniquify and validate FK, Key and index names across tables #23144
[x] KeyAttribute support for composite primary key #11003
[ ] Allow value converters to change nullability of columns #24685
[x] Compiled model: Generate custom lazy loading and change tracking proxy types. #24902

Backlog

[ ] Add a hook to avoid triggering conventions for provider annotations #19806
[ ] Add support for default value conventions #9329
[ ] Use layering to make conventions more robust #15898
[ ] Add .Builder to Metadata API #15258
[ ] Add an API consistency test for conventions #20275
[ ] Allow to specify dependencies in IEntityTypeConfiguration #22035
[ ] Make ICSharpRuntimeAnnotationCodeGenerator language-agnostic #25110
[ ] Perf bottleneck because of SortedDictionary in Annotatable.FindAnnotation #25488
[ ] Perf: Reduce the number of convention executions #15897
[ ] Store value generator types/factories in the the model and remove the selector #25926
[ ] Add navigation configuration overloads for shared type entity types #23255
[ ] Determine how to look up join entity types at model building time #21901
[ ] Consider moving log messages/warnings for requiredness of navigation properties to model validation #15539
[ ] Conventions should honor [MetadataType] #14544
[ ] Consider alternate property discovery convention(s) #4356
[ ] Add sugar to allow opt-in mapping for properties/relationships/etc. #16009
[ ] Model building API: additional configurability of the default conversion for any property of a given type #20418
[ ] Model Definition: Bulk configuration using Fluent API #9117
[ ] Support single configuration for all uses of an owned type, shared type, or some arbitrary base class/interface #6787
[ ] Log a warning with using a non-nullable property by convention for an explicitly optional FK #19958
[ ] Consider discovering the compiled model automatically instead of requiring UseModel, by using assembly-level attribute (#24893)
[ ] Consider adding a MsBuild task to generate the model at build-time (#24894)
[ ] Remove IRuntime* interfaces #24895
[ ] Generate compiled relational model #24896
[ ] Compiled model: Generate code for query filters when possible. #24897
[ ] Compiled model: Generate constructor bindings #24898
[ ] Compiled model: Generate code that builds the model lazily #24899
[ ] Compiled model: Use static binding instead of reflection for properties and fields #24900
[ ] Compiled model: Split out the mutable model implementation to a different assembly as it's not needed when using compiled model #24901
[ ] Compiled model: Generate lambdas used in change tracking #24904
[ ] Compiled model: Generate code that normally depends on reflection types in the model (Type, MemberInfo, etc.) to avoid all reflection at runtime #24903
