base on Entity Framework Core plugin to apply naming conventions to table and column names (e.g. snake_case) # Naming Conventions for Entity Framework Core Tables and Columns [![Nuget](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/EFCore.NamingConventions)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/EFCore.NamingConventions/) By default, EF Core will map to tables and columns named exactly after your .NET classes and properties. For example, mapping a typical Customer class to PostgreSQL will result in SQL such as the following: ```sql CREATE TABLE "Customers" ( "Id" integer NOT NULL GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY, "FullName" text NULL, CONSTRAINT "PK_Customers" PRIMARY KEY ("Id") ); SELECT c."Id", c."FullName" FROM "Customers" AS c WHERE c."FullName" = 'John Doe'; ``` For PostgreSQL specifically, this forces double-quotes to be added since unquoted identifiers are automatically converted to lower-case - and all those quotes are an eye-sore. But even if we're using another database such as SQL Server, maybe we just hate seeing upper-case letters in our database, and would rather have another naming convention. Down with same-name identifier tyranny! Simply add a reference to [EFCore.NamingConventions](https://www.nuget.org/packages/EFCore.NamingConventions/) and enable a naming convention in your model's `OnConfiguring` method: ```c# protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder) => optionsBuilder .UseNpgsql(...) .UseSnakeCaseNamingConvention(); ``` This will automatically make all your table and column names have snake_case naming: ```sql CREATE TABLE customers ( id integer NOT NULL GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY, full_name text NULL, CONSTRAINT "pk_customers" PRIMARY KEY (id) ); SELECT c.id, c.full_name FROM customers AS c WHERE c.full_name = 'John Doe'; ``` ## Supported naming conventions * UseSnakeCaseNamingConvention: `FullName` becomes `full_name` * UseLowerCaseNamingConvention: `FullName` becomes `fullname` * UseCamelCaseNamingConvention: `FullName` becomes `fullName` * UseUpperCaseNamingConvention: `FullName` becomes `FULLNAME` * UseUpperSnakeCaseNamingConvention: `FullName` becomes `FULL_NAME` Have another naming convention in mind? Open an issue or even submit a PR - it's pretty easy to do! ## Important notes * If you have an existing database, adding this naming convention will cause a migration to be produced, renaming everything. Be very cautious when doing this (the process currently involves dropping and recreating primary keys). * This plugin will work with any relational database provider and isn't related to PostgreSQL or Npgsql in any way. * This is a community-maintained plugin: it isn't an official part of Entity Framework Core and isn't supported by Microsoft in any way.
