Hobbiton.PostgresEnumExtension

A lightweight library that automatically discovers and maps all your C# enums to PostgreSQL enum types using a simple attribute. No more manual MapEnum calls for every enum — just decorate and go.

Installation

dotnet add package Hobbiton.PostgresEnumExtension

Usage

1. Decorate your enums with `[PostgresEnum]`

using PostgresEnumExtension;

[PostgresEnum]
public enum OrderStatus
{
    Pending,
    Processing,
    Shipped,
    Delivered,
    Cancelled
}

[PostgresEnum]
public enum UserRole
{
    Admin,
    Moderator,
    Member,
    Guest
}

2. Register enums on the `NpgsqlDataSourceBuilder`

var dataSourceBuilder = new NpgsqlDataSourceBuilder(connectionString);
dataSourceBuilder.MapAllEnums(); // discovers and maps all [PostgresEnum] types
var dataSource = dataSourceBuilder.Build();

3. Register enums in your `DbContext` configuration

services.AddDbContext<AppDbContext>(options =>
    options.UseNpgsql(dataSource, npgsql =>
    {
        npgsql.MapAllEnums(); // maps enums for EF Core with snake_case type names
    })
);

4. Use the enums in your entities as usual

public class Order
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public OrderStatus Status { get; set; }
}

How It Works

[PostgresEnum] — An attribute you place on any enum that should be mapped to a PostgreSQL enum type.
MapAllEnums() (NpgsqlDbContextOptionsBuilder) — Scans all loaded assemblies for enums decorated with [PostgresEnum] and calls MapEnum for each one, using a snake_case version of the enum name as the PostgreSQL type name (e.g., OrderStatus → order_status).
MapAllEnums() (NpgsqlDataSourceBuilder) — Does the same assembly scan and registers the enums on the data source builder so Npgsql knows how to read and write them.
