SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill generates Entity Framework Core configurations using Fluent API to map domain entities to database tables, ensuring consistency and reducing boilerplate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates IEntityTypeConfiguration<T> classes with ToTable, HasKey, Property, HasIndex, and relationship mappings.
  • Supports one-to-many, many-to-many, and owned types mappings, including value objects and shadow properties where needed.
  • Useful for teams adopting clean architecture and repository patterns, enabling a centralized configuration approach across large domain models.

Quick Start

Run the EF Core configuration generator against your domain model to produce configuration files under src/{name}.infrastructure/configurations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate EF Core Fluent API configurations automatically?▼

You can auto-generate EF Core Fluent API configurations by running this Skill against your domain model. It produces IEntityTypeConfiguration classes with table, key, property, index, and relationship mappings for .NET 8+ projects.

What is the best way to map domain entities to database tables using EF Core?▼

Mapping domain entities to database tables is best handled by generating explicit Fluent API configurations. This creates per-entity configuration files enforcing snake_case naming conventions and supporting one-to-many, many-to-many, and owned types.

Does this EF Core configuration generator support clean architecture and repository patterns?▼

Yes, EF Core configuration generation supports clean architecture and repository patterns by creating per-entity configuration files. It outputs these files under a centralized infrastructure configurations folder for repository-friendly architectures.

Can I use Fluent API configurations for value objects and shadow properties in EF Core?▼

Yes, Fluent API configurations can map value objects and shadow properties in EF Core. The generator handles owned types mappings and relationship configurations across large domain models.

Do I need .NET 8 to use this EF Core Fluent API configuration generator?▼

You need .NET 8 or later to use this EF Core Fluent API configuration generator. It targets .NET 8+ projects using EF Core to produce IEntityTypeConfiguration classes with explicit mapping configurations.

Why use explicit Fluent API configurations instead of data annotations for EF Core?▼

Explicit Fluent API configurations provide centralized mapping for large domain models, enforcing snake_case naming conventions and per-entity files. This approach reduces boilerplate and ensures consistency across repository-friendly architectures.
