How to add the user entity as a navigation property?

In this post, I'll show you how to add the user as a navigation property in your new entity.

To do this, open the ABP Suite. Create a new entity called Note.

Then add a string property called Title.

To be able to add a user navigation, we need to create a user DTO to map from entity. To do this, create a new folder called "Users" in *.Application.Contracts then add a new class called AppUserDto inherited from IdentityUserDto.

Create the mapping for AppUserDto. To do this, open YourProjectApplicationAutoMapperProfile.cs and add the below line:

CreateMap<AppUser, AppUserDto>().Ignore(x => x.ExtraProperties);

Get back to ABP Suite, go to Navigation Properties tab. Click Add Navigation Property button. Browse AppUser.cs in *.Domain\Users folder. Then choose the Name item as display property. Browse AppUserDto.cs in *.Contracts\Users folder. Choose Users from Collection Names dropdown.

That's it! Click Save and generate button to create your page. You'll see the following page if there's everything goes well.
