Entity configuration

The following configuration options are available for customizing the behavior of your entities in the Slothful CRUD library:

• AllowAnonymous: Disables authorization checks for the entity.
• RequireAuthorization: Enables authorization checks and applies the specified policies.
• SetSortProperty: Sets the property used for sorting entities.
• SetFilterProperty: Sets the property used for filtering entities.
• SetKeyProperty: Sets the key property and also sets the key property type.
• SetKeyPropertyType: Sets the type of the key property.
• SetUpdateMethodName: Sets the method name used to update entities.
• ExposeAllNestedProperties: Exposes all nested properties.

Calling SetKeyProperty also invokes SetKeyPropertyType to ensure consistency.

Example Usage

Below is an example configuration using default values:

public class SlothConfiguration : ISlothEntityConfiguration<Sloth>
{
    public void Configure(SlothEntityBuilder<Sloth> builder)
    {
        builder
            .ExposeAllNestedProperties(false)  // Default value
            .SetSortProperty(x => x.Name)          // Default value
            .SetFilterProperty(x => x.Name)        // Default value
            .SetUpdateMethodName("Update")         // Default value
            .SetKeyProperty(x => x.Id)             // Default value
            .SetKeyPropertyType(x => x.Id)      // Default value
            .HasValidation();               // Default value
    }
}

These settings illustrate the use of default values for the entity configuration in Slothful CRUD. This is equivalent to:

public class SlothConfiguration : ISlothEntityConfiguration<Sloth>
{
    public void Configure(SlothEntityBuilder<Sloth> builder)
    {
    }
}
