I have AspNetUser entity :
public partial class AspNetUser
{
public string Id { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(256)]
[Index(IsClustered = false, IsUnique = true)]
public string UserName { get; set; }
....
Interfaces:
public interface IProfile
{
string FirstName { get; set; }
string LastName { get; set; }
string Nickname { get; set; }
}
public interface IMembershipEntity
{
string AspNetUserId { get; set; }
AspNetUser AspNetUser { get; set; }
}
And 2 entities, each of them has link to AspNetUser as FK (both implement IProfile and IMembershipEntity):
public partial class Driver : IMembershipEntity, IProfile
{
#region IProfile
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Nickname { get; set; }
#endregion
#region IMembershipEntity
public string AspNetUserId { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("AspNetUserId")]
public virtual AspNetUser AspNetUser { get; set; }
#endregion
... driver fields
public class User : BaseEntity, IMembershipEntity, IProfile
{
#region IMembershipEntity
public string AspNetUserId { get; set; }
public virtual AspNetUser AspNetUser { get; set; }
#endregion
#region IProfile
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Nickname { get; set; }
#endregion
.... user fields
}
right now I need a method which need get FirstName/LastName from AspNetUser, like this:
var element = (from i in db.AspNetUsers
select new UserElementDomain()
{
UserId = i.Id,
CompanyName = i.Company.Name,
FirstName = (get FirstName here),
LastName = (get LastName here),
RoleName = i.AspNetRoles.FirstOrDefault().Name,
SMSnumber = i.SMSnumber,
UserName = i.UserName,
.....
}).FirstOrDefault();
How to do it? I can add 2 properties to AspNetUser, like:
public virtual User User { get; set; }
public virtual Driver Driver { get; set; }
but how to say, that it should be one or zero link, without creating UserId/DriverId
And even with it, then I have to write code like:
FirstName = (i.User!=null)? i.User.FirstName : ((i.Driver!=null)?i.Driver.FirstName : String.Empty)
and I don't like this code, because when I add one more Entity I have to review all code and add one more condition. How to do it correctly? Probably, using interfaces/inheritance?
I saw duplicated code before, but rarely saw duplicated data structure.
by your current code, if User.FirstName="A" & Driver.FirstName="B", then result is "A" only. if you have a new entity called "Employee", who knows which name will be the real firstname in 3 of entities, if you don't hard code it with your current style?
your current code could simplify to :
i.User?.FirstName ?? i.Driver?.FirstName ?? i.Whatever?.FirstName ?? String.Empty
but is it the real data you want to manage?
I give you 2 other options:
add properties to root entity, it's AspNetUser in your case:
public class AspNetUser { .... public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public string Nickname { get; set; } .... }
Manage common profiles in 1 entity
public class AspNetUser { .... public virtual AspNetUserProfile AspNetUserProfile { get; set; } } public class AspNetUserProfile { [Key] public string Id { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public string Nickname { get; set; } .... [ForeignKey("Id")] public virtual AspNetUser AspNetUser { get; set; } }
then in your code:
db.AspNetUsers.Select(i => new UserElementDomain()
{
UserId = i.Id,
CompanyName = i.Company.Name,
FirstName = i.AspNetUserProfile?.FirstName,
LastName = i.AspNetUserProfile?.LastName,
RoleName = i.AspNetRoles.FirstOrDefault().Name,
SMSnumber = i.SMSnumber,
UserName = i.UserName,
.....
})
if Driver/User/Empolyee want to get FirstName, just use:
Empolyee.AspNetUser.AspNetUserProfile?.FirstName
