Hlibz.EntityFrameworkCore.ModelRules

NuGet CI

Declarative rules that check a finished EF Core model against your team's conventions. A model that breaks one fails to build, at startup or in a unit test, and the error lists every violation at once, each with a rule ID and how to fix it. EF Core 10 and 11; provider-neutral.

dotnet add package Hlibz.EntityFrameworkCore.ModelRules

protected override void ConfigureConventions(ModelConfigurationBuilder configurationBuilder) =>
    configurationBuilder.UseModelRules(rules => rules
        .NoShadowProperties()
        .NamesFollow(NamingStyle.SnakeCase)
        .DecimalsHavePrecision()
        .StringsHaveMaxLength()
        .NoCascadeDeleteAcrossAggregates<IAggregateRoot>()
        .NoRedundantIndexes());

Then one test, so a violation fails CI rather than an app startup. It builds the model without a database, and it is where the rules run when the app uses a compiled model:

[Fact]
public void Model_follows_rules()
{
    using BillingDbContext context = new(options);
    ModelRuleVerifier.Verify(context);
}
ID Rule ID Rule
MR001 NoShadowProperties() MR008 NoCascadeDeleteAcrossAggregates(isRoot)
MR002 NamesFollow(style, scope) MR009 MaxIdentifierLength(max, scope)
MR003 DecimalsHavePrecision() MR010 EntitiesHaveQueryFilter<TMarker>()
MR004 StringsHaveMaxLength() MR011 NoClientSideDeleteBehaviors()
MR005 NullabilityMatchesClr() MR012 NoNavigationsAcrossAggregates(isRoot)
MR006 EnumsStoredAsStrings() MR013 AggregateRootsHaveConcurrencyToken(isRoot)
MR007 SingleSchema(schema?) MR014 NoRedundantIndexes()
  • Each rule is opt-in and independent; rule IDs are never renumbered or reused.
  • Opt entity types or members out per rule (.DecimalsHavePrecision(except => except .Property<Invoice>(x => x.Total))) or out of every rule (.Except(except => except .Entity<OutboxMessage>())). Add your own rules by implementing IModelRule.
  • VerifyAll(() => new BillingDbContext(...), ...) checks several contexts in one test.
