PosInformatique.Foundations.MediaTypes.EntityFramework

Introduction

Provides Entity Framework Core integration for the MimeType value object from PosInformatique.Foundations.MediaTypes. This package enables seamless mapping of MIME types as strongly-typed properties in Entity Framework Core entities.

It ensures proper SQL type mapping, validation, and conversion to VARCHAR(128) when persisted to the database.

Install

You can install the package from NuGet:

dotnet add package PosInformatique.Foundations.MediaTypes.EntityFramework

This package depends on the base package PosInformatique.Foundations.MediaTypes.

Features

• Provides an extension method IsMimeType() to configure EF Core properties for MimeType.
• Maps to VARCHAR(128) database columns using the SQL type MimeType (you must define the SQL type MimeType mapped to VARCHAR(128) in your database).
• Ensures validation and safe conversion to/from database fields.
• Built on top of the core MimeType value object.

Use cases

• Entity mapping: enforce strong typing for MIME types at the persistence layer.
• Consistency: ensure the same rules are applied in your entities and database.
