BlueTusk.Extensions.PostGIS.EntityFrameworkCore

Stable NetTopologySuite integration for BlueTusk's separately packaged PostGIS transport. Register the EWKB codecs on the long-lived data source and the spatial mappings on the EF provider:

using BlueTusk.Data;
using BlueTusk.Extensions.PostGIS;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using NetTopologySuite.Geometries;

await using var dataSource = new BlueTuskDataSourceBuilder(connectionString)
    .UsePostGis()
    .Build();

var options = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<AppDbContext>()
    .UseBlueTusk(dataSource, provider => provider.UsePostGis())
    .Options;

Geometry, Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, MultiPolygon, and GeometryCollection scalar and array properties map to PostGIS geometry by default. Exact typmods and geography intent are retained through ordinary EF configuration:

entity.Property(value => value.Location)
    .HasColumnType("geometry(Point,4326)");
entity.Property(value => value.ServiceArea)
    .HasColumnType("geography(Point,4326)");

NetTopologySuite predicates, measurements, set operations, buffers, and common members translate to schema-qualified PostGIS functions. The package also adds EF.Functions.IsWithinDistance, BoundingBoxIntersects, Transform, MakeValid, Force2D, and AsGeoJson. Geography translation is deliberately limited to operations PostGIS defines for geography: distance, within-distance, intersection, covers/covered-by, area, length, and centroid. A geometry-only operation on geography fails translation with a focused diagnostic.

The public conversion helpers preserve SRID and XY/Z/M ordinates while bridging between NetTopologySuite objects and BlueTusk's immutable EWKB transport values. EF change tracking snapshots mutable geometry instances and geometry arrays.

Use EnsurePostGis() and DropPostGis() in migrations when the application owns the extension lifecycle. The live PostgreSQL 18/PostGIS 3.6 gate covers geometry, geography, typmods, arrays, parameters, spatial filters, projections, and compiled queries. These APIs use the stable 1.0.0 Provider-family contract.
