EF Core 2.2 中的 SetDefaultValueSql()

Question

I have a solution for auditable entities that works well with EF Core 3.1 and.Net 5.0. But I need to make it work in an old project with EF Core 2.2. The problem is that SetDefaultValueSql() is only available in 3.1 and 5.0.

I cannot find any solution to replace property.SetDefaultValueSql("getdate()"); for the old 2.2 version.

My code:

foreach (var entity in modelBuilder.Model
    .GetEntityTypes()
    .Where(t => t.ClrType.IsSubclassOf(typeof(AuditableEntity)))
)
{
    foreach (var property in entity.GetProperties()
        .Where(p => AuditProperties.Contains(p.Name, StringComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) 
                     && (p.ClrType == typeof(DateTime) || p.ClrType == typeof(DateTimeOffset)))
    )
    {
        property.SetDefaultValueSql("getdate()");
    }
}

Is there any way to set the Default SQL Value same way in EF Core 2.2?

Answer 1

You can use this method.

property.HasDefaultValueSql("getdate()")

I test it in ef core 2.x, about more infomation, you can refer to the document .
