I have used the code-first approach with EF Core 1.1.0 to create my entities in my SQL Database.
Some of my entities have navigation properties to other entities (one-to-one or one-to-many).
The thing is, when I try to add an entity which has navigation properties, the root entity is successfully added, but the related entities are not.
Here is the code below:
public class PopcornContext : DbContext
{
public PopcornContext(DbContextOptions<PopcornContext> options)
: base(options)
{
}
public virtual DbSet<Movie> MovieSet { get; set; }
}
public partial class Movie
{
public Movie()
{
this.Genres = new HashSet<Genre>();
this.Cast = new HashSet<Cast>();
}
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Url { get; set; }
public string ImdbCode { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string TitleLong { get; set; }
public string Slug { get; set; }
public int Year { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Genre> Genres { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Cast> Cast { get; set; }
}
public class PopcornContextFactory : IDbContextFactory<PopcornContext>
{
public PopcornContext Create(DbContextFactoryOptions options)
{
var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json");
var configuration = builder.Build();
var optionsBuilder = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<PopcornContext>();
optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(configuration["SQL:ConnectionString"]);
return new PopcornContext(optionsBuilder.Options);
}
}
When I insert a movie like :
using (var context = new PopcornContextFactory().Create(new DbContextFactoryOptions()))
{
var movie = new Database.Movie
{
ImdbCode = movieJson.ImdbCode,
TitleLong = movieJson.TitleLong,
Year = movieJson.Year,
Cast = movieJson.Cast.Select(cast => new Database.Cast
{
ImdbCode = cast?.ImdbCode,
SmallImage = cast?.SmallImage,
CharacterName = cast?.CharacterName,
Name = cast?.Name
}).ToList(),
Genres = movieJson.Genres.Select(genre => new Database.Genre
{
Name = genre
}).ToList(),
Slug = movieJson.Slug,
Title = movieJson.Title,
Url = movieJson.Url
};
await context.MovieSet.AddAsync(movie);
await context.SaveChangesAsync();
}
The movie is added into the database with all of its fields, but Genres and Cast are not there (null values).
I have set up my code-first approach with:
Add-Migration Initial
Update-Database
What did I miss? I'm pretty sure this code would work with EF6.
I've figured it out. Actually it is a known bug with AddAsync method in EF Core. The non async Add method works as expected.
