CSharpEssentials.Entity

DDD foundation for .NET entities with auditing, soft deletion, and domain events.

Features

  • EntityBase<TId> — Typed IDs with creation and modification audit fields.
  • SoftDeletableEntityBase — Soft delete with MarkAsDeleted, Restore, and MarkAsHardDeleted.
  • Domain Events — Raise and clear events for outbox or dispatcher patterns.
  • Event Timing — Control when events publish with [DomainEventTiming].

Installation

dotnet add package CSharpEssentials.Entity

Usage

Basic Entity

using CSharpEssentials.Entity;

public class Product : EntityBase<Guid>
{
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

var product = new Product { Id = Guid.NewGuid(), Name = "Laptop" };
product.SetCreatedInfo(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow, "system");
product.SetUpdatedInfo(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow, "admin");

Soft Deletable Entity

public class User : SoftDeletableEntityBase<Guid>
{
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

var user = new User();
user.MarkAsDeleted(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow, "Admin");
user.Restore();

Domain Events

public record OrderCreated(Guid OrderId) : IDomainEvent;

public class Order : EntityBase<Guid>
{
    public void Create()
    {
        Id = Guid.NewGuid();
        Raise(new OrderCreated(Id));
    }
}

// Later (e.g., in EF Core SaveChanges)
foreach (var evt in order.DomainEvents)
{
    // dispatch...
}
order.ClearDomainEvents();

Event Timing

// Published after transaction commits (default)
public record OrderCreatedEvent(Guid OrderId) : IDomainEvent;

// Published before transaction commits
[DomainEventTiming(DomainEventTiming.BeforeSave)]
public record OrderValidationEvent(Guid OrderId) : IDomainEvent;
