Pandatech.AuditTrail 0.1.1

Pandatech.***

Introduction

Pandatech.AuditTrail is a tool meticulously crafted to gather vital entity data from the change tracker post DbContext SaveChanges operation.

Features

Audits necessary entities for logging or preserving modified property data. Offers a convenient fluent configuration to specify tracked entities with ease.

Installation

Install the package via NuGet Package Manager or use the following command:

Install-Package Pandatech.AuditTrail

Configuration

1. Implement the IAuditTrailConsumer interface. To be able to retrive modified entities data after save operation.

public class AuditTrailConsumer<TPermission>() : IAuditTrailConsumer<TPermission>
{
   public Task ConsumeAsync(IEnumerable<AuditTrailCommanModel<TPermission>> entities, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
   {
   }
}

2. Add required services.

builder.Services.AddHttpContextAccessor();
builder.Services.AddAuditTrail<PermissionType?, AuditTrailConsumer<PermissionType?>>(typeof(Registration).Assembly);

services.AddDbContextPool<PostgresContext>((sp, options) =>
{
   options.UseNpgsql(connectionString)
   .UseAuditTrail<PermissionType?>(sp);
});

Usage

Create a rule derived from EntityRule.

public class UserRule : EntityRule<UserEntity, PermissionType?>
{
   public UserRule(ISomeService someService)
   {
      SetPermission(PermissionType.Users_Read);

      RuleFor(s => s.PasswordHash).Ignore();
      RuleFor(s => s.Status).ChangeName("UserStatus");
   }
}

You can create your own rules and modify properties as needed. Custom rule example:

public class ChangeNamePropertyRule<TEntity, TProperty> : PropertyRule<TEntity, TProperty>
{
    private readonly string _changeName;

    public override NameValue ExecuteRule(string name, object value)
    {
        return new NameValue(_changeName, value);
    }

    public ChangeNamePropertyRule(string name)
    {
        _changeName = name;
    }
}

public static class RuleExtensions
{
    public static IRuleBulder<T, TPermission, TProperty?> ChangeName<T, TPermission, TProperty>(this IRuleBulder<T, TPermission, TProperty> ruleBuilder, string name)
        where T : class
    {
        var rule = new ChangeNamePropertyRule<T, TProperty?>(name);
        return ruleBuilder.SetRule(rule!)!;
    }
}

Limitations

Only numeric entity IDs are assigned during SaveChanges. Composite keys are not supported.
