I have a User entity in my DbContext . What I want is that users should be able to give references/leave comments for each other , therefore I have created Reference entity.
public class Reference
{
public virtual User By { get; set; } // user who leaves a reference
public virtual User To { get; set; } // user who has given a reference
public string Opinions { get; set; }
}
in User entity
public virtual ICollection<Reference> ReferencedTo { get; set; } // collection of references that user has given
public virtual ICollection<Reference> ReferencedBy { get; set; } // collection of references that user has been given
What should I do to make it work with either DataAnnonations or FluentAPI, or how would you approach to this and solve?
You need to do something like this:
public class Reference
{
public int ReferenceId { get; set; }
public int ByUserId { get; set; }
public virtual User By { get; set; } // user who leaves a reference
public int ToUserId { get; set; }
public virtual User To { get; set; } // user who has given a reference
public string Opinions { get; set; }
}
public class User
{
public int UserId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Reference> ReferencedTo { get; set; } // collection of references that user has given
public virtual ICollection<Reference> ReferencedBy { get; set; } // collection of references that user has been given
}
public class MyContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }
public DbSet<Reference> References { get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<Reference>()
.HasRequired(x => x.By)
.WithMany(x => x.ReferencedBy)
.HasForeignKey(x => x.ByUserId)
.WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
modelBuilder.Entity<Reference>()
.HasRequired(x => x.To)
.WithMany(x => x.ReferencedTo)
.HasForeignKey(x => x.ToUserId)
.WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
}
}
