SemanticTypeModel.EFCore

What this package does

SemanticTypeModel.EFCore maps the explicit semantic model to one opinionated CLR-backed relational representation.

Install

dotnet add package SemanticTypeModel.EFCore --version 2.5.1

Minimal example

using SemanticTypeModel.EFCore;

var result = AppSemanticTypeModel.Create().DeriveEfRelationalModel();
result.Diagnostics.ThrowIfErrors();
modelBuilder.ApplySemanticRelationalModel(result.Model);

ApplySemanticTypeModel is the convenience path that derives and applies the same model.

Fixed contract

  • semantic entities are tables and semantic entity inheritance is TPT;
  • scalars are columns, enums are strings, and strong identifiers use their underlying scalar;
  • explicitly owned ValueKind objects and collections are JSON columns;
  • semantic extension data is a JSON object column;
  • entity objects, undeclared ValueKind storage, and arbitrary dictionaries produce diagnostics;
  • EF relationships, navigations, shared-type entities, OwnsOne, and OwnsMany are not projected.
  • the package suppresses EF convention discovery for semantic ValueKinds and other non-entities, so the final CLR entity set exactly equals the semantic Entity CLR set;
  • JSON-owned objects and collections remain converted properties rather than owned or keyless EF entities, without consumer ModelBuilder.Ignore(...) calls.

The application still selects its EF provider and owns migrations and database operations. The 2.5 line intentionally removes the 2.4.x EF API rather than retaining compatibility aliases.
