Entity Framework Configuring Relationships with the Fluent API

Configuring a Required-to-Optional Relationship (One-to-Zero-or-One 1…0,1)

以下示例，表示1…0,1的关系。OfficeAssignment表有一个属性InstructorID，它是一个主键也是一个外键。

HasKey方法用于配置主键。

// Configure the primary key for the OfficeAssignment 
modelBuilder.Entity<OfficeAssignment>() 
    .HasKey(t => t.InstructorID); 
 
// Map one-to-zero or one relationship 
modelBuilder.Entity<OfficeAssignment>() 
    .HasRequired(t => t.Instructor) 
    .WithOptional(t => t.OfficeAssignment);

 

Configuring a Relationship Where Both Ends Are Required (One-to-One)

// Configure the primary key for the OfficeAssignment 
modelBuilder.Entity<OfficeAssignment>() 
    .HasKey(t => t.InstructorID); 
 
modelBuilder.Entity<Instructor>() 
    .HasRequired(t => t.OfficeAssignment) 
    .WithRequiredPrincipal(t => t.Instructor);

 

Configuring a Many-to-Many Relationship

 

modelBuilder.Entity<Course>() 
    .HasMany(t => t.Instructors) 
    .WithMany(t => t.Courses)

 

modelBuilder.Entity<Course>() 
    .HasMany(t => t.Instructors) 
    .WithMany(t => t.Courses) 
    .Map(m => 
    { 
        m.ToTable("CourseInstructor"); 
        m.MapLeftKey("CourseID"); 
        m.MapRightKey("InstructorID"); 
    });

 

Configuring a Relationship with One Navigation Property

 

// Configure the primary Key for the OfficeAssignment 
modelBuilder.Entity<OfficeAssignment>() 
    .HasKey(t => t.InstructorID); 
 
modelBuilder.Entity<Instructor>() 
    .HasRequired(t => t.OfficeAssignment) 
    .WithRequiredPrincipal();

 

Enabling Cascade Delete

modelBuilder.Entity<Course>() 
    .HasRequired(t => t.Department) 
    .WithMany(t => t.Courses) 
    .HasForeignKey(d => d.DepartmentID) 
    .WillCascadeOnDelete(false);

 

Configuring a Composite Foreign Key

// Composite primary key 
modelBuilder.Entity<Department>() 
.HasKey(d => new { d.DepartmentID, d.Name }); 
 
// Composite foreign key 
modelBuilder.Entity<Course>()  
    .HasRequired(c => c.Department)  
    .WithMany(d => d.Courses) 
    .HasForeignKey(d => new { d.DepartmentID, d.DepartmentName });

 

Renaming a Foreign Key That Is Not Defined in the Model

modelBuilder.Entity<Course>() 
    .HasRequired(c => c.Department) 
    .WithMany(t => t.Courses) 
    .Map(m => m.MapKey("ChangedDepartmentID"));

 

Configuring a Foreign Key Name That Does Not Follow the Code First Convention

modelBuilder.Entity<Course>() 
         .HasRequired(c => c.Department) 
         .WithMany(d => d.Courses) 
         .HasForeignKey(c => c.SomeDepartmentID);
