How to add Column in existing table in asp Boilerplate? - asp.net

Question

As you know Boilerplate don't give the entity classes to add columns and I want to add column in table named ( AbpUser). I tried to make a class in Migrations like below
public partial class AddRatingMig : DbMigration
{
public override void Up()
{
AddColumn("dbo.AbpUsers", "UserType", c => c.String());
}
public override void Down()
{
DropColumn("dbo.AbpUsers", "UserType");
}
}
Then in Pm console run command Update-Database
. But not successful. As you know Boilerplate don't give the entity classes to edit columns. Please Help Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The answer to this question is to Extend the AbpUser like this
public class User : AbpUser<User>
{
public string SpecialTitle { get; set; }
}
and add-migration UpdatedUserWithSpecialTitle
then update-database

Answer 2

Here is the correct way
public partial class AddRatingMig : DbMigration
{
public override void Up(MigrationBuilder migrationBuilder)
{
migrationBuilder.AddColumn<string>(
name: "UserType",
table:"AbpUsers",
nullable:true
);
}
public override void Down(MigrationBuilder migrationBuilder)
{
migrationBuilder.DropColumn(
name:"UserType",
table:"dbo.AbpUsers"
);
}
}
Hence update Database using code as: update-database
NOTE:
Make sure that you have properly added migrations as:
add-migration migration_name

I had the same problem in abp.io framework, adding new property, "PICUstomerId" to AbpUser Entity and migrate it to database.
Here is the comments by abp.io:
Add your own properties here. Example:
public string MyProperty { get; set; }
If you add a property and using the EF Core, remember these;
Update PasargadInsuranceDbContext.OnModelCreating to configure the mapping for your new property
Update PasargadInsuranceEfCoreEntityExtensionMappings to extend the IdentityUser entity and add your new property to the migration.
Use the Add-Migration to add a new database migration.
Run the .DbMigrator project (or use the Update-Database command) to apply schema change to the database.
and finally add-migration to your solution and then update-database
1. Add your own properties here
2. Update PasargadInsuranceDbContext.OnModelCreating
3. Update PasargadInsuranceEfCoreEntityExtensionMappings to extend theIdentityUser entity
4. And finally after update-databse, I saw my new property in database
