audit-trail

What problem does it solve?

Developers often struggle to consistently track who created or modified a domain entity and when, including soft-deletes, across the data layer. This Skill provides a ready-made auditing framework that enforces UTC timestamps and user attribution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Implements IAuditable and AuditableEntity base to store CreatedAtUtc, CreatedBy, UpdatedAtUtc, UpdatedBy, and soft delete fields.
• Provides EF Core SaveChanges interceptor to auto-populate audit fields and convert hard deletes to soft deletes.
• Supports integration with a user context for automated attribution in both typical web requests and background tasks.

Quick Start

1. Create entities by deriving from AuditableEntity and/or implementing IAuditable.
2. Register AuditSaveChangesInterceptor in your DI container and wire the interceptor into EF Core.
3. Apply the AuditableEntityConfiguration base configuration to your entities and enable a global query filter for soft deletes.
