Alkanzi.Auditable

A lightweight, interface-based contract for audit-stamping entities (Created/Updated/Deleted metadata) — designed to work with any existing base class, no inheritance required.

Requirements

Requires .NET 8.0 or later (uses C# default interface methods — not compatible with .NET Standard 2.0 or .NET Framework).

Install

dotnet add package Alkanzi.Auditable

Usage

Implement IAuditable on your entity — no base class required, works alongside any existing inheritance:

public class Budget : IAuditable
{
    public bool IS_UPDATED { get; set; }
    public bool IS_DELETED { get; set; }
    public int CREATED_BY { get; set; }
    public int? UPDATED_BY { get; set; }
    public int? DELETED_BY { get; set; }
    public DateTime CREATED_AT { get; set; }
    public DateTime? UPDATED_AT { get; set; }
    public DateTime? DELETED_AT { get; set; }
}

Because MarkCreated, MarkUpdated, and MarkDeleted are default interface methods, call them through the IAuditable type — not directly on the concrete class:

var budget = new Budget();

((IAuditable)budget).MarkCreated(userId: 42);

Or, if you already have a variable typed as the interface (common in service/repository code):

IAuditable auditable = budget;
auditable.MarkCreated(42);
auditable.MarkUpdated(7);
auditable.MarkDeleted(3);

Why an interface, not a base class?

Your entities may already inherit from your own Base.cs or ORM base type. IAuditable works alongside that — just implement it, no multiple-inheritance conflicts.

Why call through the interface?

Default interface methods are only accessible via the interface type, not the implementing class directly. This is a C# language rule (not specific to this package) — casting or declaring the variable as IAuditable resolves it.
