EF Core Abstractions Skill

This skill helps GitHub Copilot generate code using DKNet's EF Core Abstractions package (DKNet.EfCore.Abstractions) for creating domain entities with audit trails, events, and soft delete support.

🎯 Package Purpose

DKNet.EfCore.Abstractions provides:

• Base Entity Classes - Generic entity foundations with various key types
• Audit Interfaces - Automatic tracking of who/when records were created/modified
• Event Management - Domain event support for entities
• Soft Delete - Logical deletion without physical removal
• Concurrency Control - Optimistic concurrency with row versions

NuGet Package: DKNet.EfCore.Abstractions

📦 Installation

dotnet add package DKNet.EfCore.Abstractions

🏗️ Base Entity Types

EntityBase (Simple Guid ID Entity)

using DKNet.EfCore.Abstractions;

/// <summary>
///     Product entity.
/// </summary>
public class Product : EntityBase
{
    /// <summary>
    ///     Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="Product"/> class.
    /// </summary>
    public Product()
    {
        Id = Guid.NewGuid();
    }
    
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public decimal Price { get; set; }
    public int Stock { get; set; }
    public bool IsActive { get; set; } = true;
}

// Inherits: Guid Id, DateTime CreatedAt, DateTime? UpdatedAt

Entity (Custom Key Type)

using DKNet.EfCore.Abstractions;

/// <summary>
///     Order entity with integer key.
/// </summary>
public class Order : Entity<int>
{
    public Guid CustomerId { get; set; }
    public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
    public decimal TotalAmount { get; set; }
    public OrderStatus Status { get; set; }
}

// Inherits: int Id, DateTime CreatedAt, DateTime? UpdatedAt

AuditEntity (With Audit Trail)

using DKNet.EfCore.Abstractions;

/// <summary>
///     Customer entity with full audit trail.
/// </summary>
public class Customer : AuditEntity<Guid>
{
    public Customer()
    {
        Id = Guid.NewGuid();
    }
    
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string Email { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string Phone { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string Address { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

// Inherits: Guid Id, DateTime CreatedAt, DateTime? UpdatedAt
//           string CreatedBy, string? UpdatedBy
