###### Create a New Entity
TODO
Working with an entity of a module is easy if you want to use the entity as is. However, you may want to define your own entity class and map to the same database table in the following cases;
* You want to **add a new field** to the table and map it to a property in the entity. You can't use the module's entity since it doesn't have the related property.
* You want to **use a subset of the table fields**. You don't want to access to all properties of the entity and hide the unrelated properties (from a security perspective or just by design).
* You don't want to directly **depend on** a module entity class.
In any case, the progress is same. Assume that you want to create an entity, named `AppRole`, mapped to the same table of the `IdentityRole` entity of the [Identity module](Modules/Identity.md).
Here, we will show the implementation, then **will discuss the limitations** of this approach.
First, create a new `AppRole` class in your `.Domain` project:
````csharp
using System;
using Volo.Abp.Domain.Entities;
using Volo.Abp.MultiTenancy;
namespace Acme.BookStore.Roles
{
public class AppRole : AggregateRoot<Guid>, IMultiTenant
{
// Properties shared with the IdentityRole class
public Guid? TenantId { get; private set; }
public string Name { get; private set; }
//Additional properties
public string Title { get; set; }
private AppRole()
{
}
}
}
````
* It's inherited from [the `AggregateRoot<Guid>` class](Entities.md) and implements [the `IMultiTenant` interface](Multi-Tenancy.md) because the `IdentityRole` also does the same.
* You can add any properties defined by the `IdentityRole` entity. This examples add only the `TenantId` and `Name` properties since we only need them here. You can make the setters private (like in this example) to prevent changing Identity module's properties accidently.
* You can add custom (additional) properties. This example adds the `Title` property.
* The **constructor is private**, so it is not allowed to directly create a new `AppRole` entity. Creating a role is a responsibility of the Identity module. You can query roles, set/update your custom properties, but you should not create or delete a role in your code, as a best practice (while there is nothing restricts you).
Now, it is time to define the EF Core mappings. Open the `DbContext` of your application (`BookStoreDbContext` in this sample) and add the following property:
````csharp
public DbSet<AppRole> Roles { get; set; }
````
Then configure the mapping inside the `OnModelCreating` method (after calling the `base.OnModelCreating(builder)`):
/* Configure the shared tables (with included modules) here */
//CONFIGURE THE AppRole ENTITY
builder.Entity<AppRole>(b =>
{
b.ToTable("AbpRoles");
b.ConfigureByConvention();
b.ConfigureCustomRoleProperties();
});
...
/* Configure your own tables/entities inside the ConfigureBookStore method */
builder.ConfigureBookStore();
}
````
We added the following lines:
````csharp
builder.Entity<AppRole>(b =>
{
b.ToTable("AbpRoles");
b.ConfigureByConvention();
b.ConfigureCustomRoleProperties();
});
````
* It maps to the same `AbpRoles` table shared with the `IdentityRole` entity.
* `ConfigureByConvention()` configures the standard/base properties (like `TenantId`) and recommended to always call it.
`ConfigureCustomRoleProperties()` has not exists yet. Define it inside the `BookStoreDbContextModelCreatingExtensions` class (near to your `DbContext` in the `.EntityFrameworkCore` project):
````csharp
public static void ConfigureCustomRoleProperties<TRole>(this EntityTypeBuilder<TRole> b)
* This method only defines the **custom properties** of your entity.
* Unfortunately, we can not utilize the fully **type safety** here (by referencing the `AppRole` entity). The best we can do is to use the `Title` name as type safe. This is because of EF Core migration system can not map two unrelated entity classes to the same database table.
You've configured the custom property for your `DbContext` used by your application on the runtime. We also need to configure the `MigrationsDbContext`.
Open the `MigrationsDbContext` (`BookStoreMigrationsDbContext` for this example) and change as shown below:
/* Include modules to your migration db context */
...
/* Configure customizations for entities from the modules included */
//CONFIGURE THE CUSTOM ROLE PROPERTIES
builder.Entity<IdentityRole>(b =>
{
b.ConfigureCustomRoleProperties();
});
...
/* Configure your own tables/entities inside the ConfigureBookStore method */
builder.ConfigureBookStore();
}
````
Only added the following lines:
````csharp
builder.Entity<IdentityRole>(b =>
{
b.ConfigureCustomRoleProperties();
});
````
In this way, we re-used the extension method that is used to configure custom property mappings for the role. But, this time, did the same customization for the `IdentityRole` entity.
Now, you can add a new EF Core database migration using the standard `Add-Migration` command in the Package Manager Console (remember to select `.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrations` as the Default Project in the PMC and make sure that the `.Web` project is still the startup project):
All done! Just run the `Update-Database` command in the PMC or run the `.DbMigrator` project in your solution to apply changes to database.
Now, you can work with the `AppRole` entity just like any other entity of your application. An example [application service](Application-Services.md) that queries and updates roles:
````csharp
public class AppRoleAppService : ApplicationService, IAppRoleAppService
public AppRoleAppService(IRepository<AppRole,Guid> appRoleRepository)
{
_appRoleRepository = appRoleRepository;
}
public async Task<List<AppRoleDto>> GetListAsync()
{
var roles = await _appRoleRepository.GetListAsync();
return roles
.Select(r => new AppRoleDto
{
Id = r.Id,
Name = r.Name,
Title = r.Title
})
.ToList();
}
public async Task UpdateTitleAsync(Guid id, string title)
{
var role = await _appRoleRepository.GetAsync(id);
role.Title = title;
await _appRoleRepository.UpdateAsync(role);
}
}
````
There are some **limitations** of creating a new entity and mapping it to a table of a depended module:
* Your **custom properties must be nullable**. For example, `AppRole.Title` was nullable here. Otherwise, Identity module throws exception because it doesn't know and can not fill the Title when it inserts a new role to the database.
* As a good practice, you should not update the **properties defined by the module**, especially if it requires a business logic. You typically want to manage your own properties.
##### Alternative Approaches
Instead of creating a new entity class to add a custom property, you can use the following approaches.
###### Using the ExtraProperties
All entities derived from the `AggregateRoot ` class can store name-value pairs in their `ExtraProperties` property, which is a `Dictionary<string, object>` serialized to JSON in the database table. So, you can add values to this dictionary and query again without changing the entity.
For example, you can store query the title Property inside an `IdentityRole` instead of creating a new entity. Example:
````csharp
public class IdentityRoleExtendingService : ITransientDependency
public IdentityRoleExtendingService(IIdentityRoleRepository identityRoleRepository)
{
_identityRoleRepository = identityRoleRepository;
}
public async Task<string> GetTitleAsync(Guid id)
{
var role = await _identityRoleRepository.GetAsync(id);
return role.GetProperty<string>("Title");
}
public async Task SetTitleAsync(Guid id, string newTitle)
{
var role = await _identityRoleRepository.GetAsync(id);
role.SetProperty("Title", newTitle);
await _identityRoleRepository.UpdateAsync(role);
}
}
````
* `GetProperty` and `SetProperty` methods are shortcuts to get and set a value in the `role.ExtraProperties` dictionary and they are the recommended way to work with the extra properties.
In this way, you can easily attach any type of value to an entity of a depended module. However, there are some drawbacks of this usage:
* All the extra properties are stored as **a single JSON object** in the database. They are not stored as new table fields, as you may expect. Creating database table indexes and using SQL queries against these properties will be harder compared to simple table fields.
* Property names are strings, so they are **not type safe**. It is recommended to define constants for these kind of properties to prevent typo errors.
###### Creating a New Table
Instead of creating a new entity and mapping to the same table, you can also create **your own table** to store your properties. You typically duplicate some values of the original entity. For example, you can add `Name` field to your own table which is a duplication of the `Name` field in the original table.
In this case, you don't deal with migration problems, however you need to deal with the problems of data duplication. When the duplicated value changes, you should reflect the same change in your table. You can use local or distributed [event bus](Event-Bus.md) to subscribe to the change events for the original entity. This is the recommended way of depending on a microservice's data from another microservice, especially if they have separate physical databases (you can search on the web on data sharing on a microservice design, it is a wide topic to cover here).
#### Discussion of an Alternative Scenario: Every Module Manages Its Own Migration Path
As mentioned before, `.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrations` merges all the database mappings of all the modules (plus your application's mappings) to create a unified migration path.
An alternative approach would be to allow each module to have its own migrations to maintain its database tables. While it seems more module in the beginning, it has some important drawbacks:
* **EF Core migration system depends on the DBMS provider**. For example, if a module has created migrations for SQL Server, then you can not use this migration code for MySQL. It is not practical for a module to maintain migrations for all available DBMS providers. Leaving the migration to the application code (as explained in this document) allows you to **choose the DBMS in the application** code.
* It would be harder or impossible to **share a table** between modules or **re-use a table** of a module in your application. Because EF Core migration system can not handle it and will throw exceptions like "Table XXX is already exists in the database".
* It would be harder to **customize/enhance** the mapping and the resulting migration code.
* It would be harder to track and **apply changes** to database when you use multiple modules.
## Using Multiple Databases
The default startup template is organized to use a single database used by all the modules and by your application. However, the ABP Framework and all the pre-built modules are designed so that **they can use multiple databases**. Each module can use its own database or you can group modules into a few databases.
This section will explain how to move Audit Logging, Setting Management and Permission Management module tables to a **second database** while the remaining modules continue to use the main ("Default") database.
The resulting structure will be like the figure below:
Added **three more connection strings** for the related module to target the `BookStore_SecondDb` database (they are all same). For example, `AbpPermissionManagement` is the connection string for the permission management module.
The `AbpPermissionManagement` is a constant [defined](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/blob/97eaa6ff5a044f503465455c86332e5a277b077a/modules/permission-management/src/Volo.Abp.PermissionManagement.Domain/Volo/Abp/PermissionManagement/AbpPermissionManagementDbProperties.cs#L11) by the permission management module. ABP Framework [connection string selection system](Connection-Strings.md) selects this connection string for the permission management module if you define. If you don't define, it fallbacks to the `Default` connection string.
### Create a Second Migration Project
Defining the connection strings as explained above is enough **on runtime**. However, `BookStore_SecondDb` database doesn't exist yet. You need to create the database and the tables for the related modules.
Just like the main database, we want to use the EF Core Code First migration system to create and maintain the second database.
An easy way is to create a second project (`.csproj`) for the second migration `DbContext`.
So, create a new **class library project** in your solution named `Acme.BookStore.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrationsForSecondDb` (or name it better if you didn't like it).
The `.csproj` content should be something like that:
You can just copy & modify the content of the original `.DbMigrations` project. This project references to the `.EntityFrameworkCore` project. **Only difference** is the `RootNamespace` value.
**Add a reference** to this project from the `.Web` project (otherwise, EF Core tooling doesn't allow to use the `Add-Migration` command).
### Create the Second DbMigrationDbContext
Create a new `DbContext` for the migrations and call the **extension methods** of the modules to configure the database tables for the related modules:
/* Include modules to your migration db context */
builder.ConfigurePermissionManagement();
builder.ConfigureSettingManagement();
builder.ConfigureAuditLogging();
}
}
````
> `[ConnectionStringName(...)]` attribute is important here and tells to the ABP Framework which connection string should be used for this `DbContext`. We've used `AbpPermissionManagement`, but all are the same.
Create a **Design Time Db Factory** class, that is used by the EF Core tooling (by `Add-Migration` and `Update-Database` PCM commands for example):
````csharp
/* This class is needed for EF Core console commands
* (like Add-Migration and Update-Database commands) */
public class BookStoreSecondMigrationsDbContextFactory
This is similar to the class inside the `.EntityFrameworCore.DbMigrations` project, except this one uses the `AbpPermissionManagement` connection string.
Now, you can open the Package Manager Console, select the `.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrationsForSecondDb` project as the default project (make sure the `.Web` project is still the startup project) and run the `Add-Migration "Initial"` and `Update-Database` commands as shown below:
We've **created a second database** contains tables for the Audit Logging, Permission Management and Setting Management modules. So, we should **delete these tables from the main database**. It is pretty easy.
First, remove the following lines from the `MigrationsDbContext` class (`BookStoreMigrationsDbContext` for this example):
````csharp
builder.ConfigurePermissionManagement();
builder.ConfigureSettingManagement();
builder.ConfigureAuditLogging();
````
Open the Package Manager Console, select the `.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrations` as the Default project (make sure that the `.Web` project is still the startup project) and run the following command:
* If you have a **live system**, then you should care about the **data loss**. You need to move the table contents to the second database before deleting the tables.
* If you **haven't started** your project yet, you can consider to **remove all the migrations** and re-create the initial one to have a cleaner migration history.
Run the `Update-Database` command to delete the tables from your main database.
Notice that you've also **deleted some initial seed data** (for example, permission grants for the admin role) if you haven't copied it to the new database. If you run the application, you may not login anymore. The solution is simple: **Re-run the `.DbMigrator` console application** in your solution, it will seed the new database.
### Automate the Second Database Schema Migration
`.DbMigrator` console application can run the database seed code across multiple databases, without any additional configuration. However, it can not run the EF Core Code First Migrations inside the second database migration project. Now, you will see how to configure the console migration application to handle both databases.
#### Implementing the IBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator
`EntityFrameworkCoreBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator` class inside the `Acme.BookStore.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrations` project is responsible to migrate the database schema for the `BookStoreMigrationsDbContext`. It should be like that:
````csharp
[Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
public class EntityFrameworkCoreBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator
It implements the `IBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator` and **replaces existing services** (see the first line).
Remove the `[Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]` line, because we will have two implementations of this interface and we want to use both. We don't want to replace one of them.
Create a copy of this class inside the new migration project (`Acme.BookStore.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrationsForSecondDb`), but use the `BookStoreSecondMigrationsDbContext`. Example implementation:
````csharp
public class EntityFrameworkCoreSecondBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator
> Name of this class is important for [dependency injection](Dependency-Injection.md). It should end with `BookStoreDbSchemaMigrator` to be injectable by `IBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator` reference.
We, now, have two implementations of the `IBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator` interface, each one responsible to migrate the related database schema.
#### Define a Module Class for the Second Migration Project
It is time to define the [module](Module-Development-Basics.md) class for this second migrations (`Acme.BookStore.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrationsForSecondDb`) project:
````csharp
[DependsOn(
typeof(BookStoreEntityFrameworkCoreModule)
)]
public class BookStoreEntityFrameworkCoreSecondDbMigrationsModule : AbpModule
{
public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
Now, reference `Acme.BookStore.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrationsForSecondDb` project from the `Acme.BookStore.DbMigrator` project and `typeof(BookStoreEntityFrameworkCoreSecondDbMigrationsModule)` to the dependency list of the `BookStoreDbMigratorModule`. `BookStoreDbMigratorModule` class should be something like that:
public class BookStoreDbMigratorModule : AbpModule
{
...
}
````
We had a reference to the `Acme.BookStore.EntityFrameworkCore.DbMigrationsForSecondDb` project from the `Acme.BookStore.Web` project, but hadn't added module dependency since we hadn't created it before. But, now we have it and we need to add `typeof(BookStoreEntityFrameworkCoreSecondDbMigrationsModule)` to the dependency list of the `BookStoreWebModule` class.
#### BookStoreDbMigrationService
You need one final touch to the `BookStoreDbMigrationService` inside the `Acme.BookStore.Domain` project. It is currently designed to work with a single `IBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator` implementation, but now we have two.
It injects `IBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator`. Replace it with an `IEnumerable<IBookStoreDbSchemaMigrator>` injection ([Dependency Injection System](Dependency-Injection.md) allows to inject multiple implementations of an interface just like that).
Now, you have **a collection of schema migrators** instead of a single one. Find the lines like:
````csharp
await _dbSchemaMigrators.MigrateAsync();
````
change them to:
````csharp
foreach (var migrator in _dbSchemaMigrators)
{
await migrator.MigrateAsync();
}
````
You can run the `.DbMigrator` application to migrate & seed the databases. To test, you can delete both databases and run the `.DbMigrator` application again to see if it creates both of the databases.
## Conclusion
This document explains how to split your databases and manage your database migrations of your solution for Entity Framework Core. In brief, you need to have a separate migration project per different databases.
