This PR implements a complete C# POCO (Plain Old CLR Object) data model for an eCommerce catalog and order system using Entity Framework Core. The implementation provides a production-ready foundation for eCommerce applications with proper relationships, constraints, and Entity Framework configuration.

Implementation Overview

The data model consists of 5 core entities that represent a typical eCommerce system:

  • Category - Product categorization with unique names and descriptions
  • Product - Catalog items with pricing, stock quantity, SKU tracking, and category relationships
  • Customer - User profiles with contact information and shipping addresses
  • Order - Purchase orders with status tracking, shipping details, and customer relationships
  • OrderItem - Order line items that create many-to-many relationships between orders and products

Key Features

Entity Framework Configuration

  • Complete DbContext implementation with Fluent API configuration
  • Proper foreign key relationships with appropriate cascade/restrict rules
  • Unique constraints on business-critical fields (Email, SKU, OrderNumber)
  • Composite indexes for query performance optimization
  • Default values for timestamps and status fields

Data Validation & Integrity

  • Data annotations for field validation (Required, MaxLength, EmailAddress)
  • Decimal precision configuration for monetary values (18,2)
  • Navigation properties for Entity Framework relationship traversal
  • Seed data for testing and demonstration purposes

Database Support

  • SQL Server provider configuration with migration support
  • In-memory database support for testing and demos
  • Design-time factory for Entity Framework tooling

Demo Application

The included console application demonstrates:

  • Database creation and seeding
  • Querying entities with relationships using LINQ
  • Creating complex orders with multiple items
  • Proper Entity Framework change tracking and persistence
// Example: Creating an order with multiple items
var order = new Order
{
    OrderNumber = $"ORD-{DateTime.Now.Ticks}",
    CustomerId = customer.Id,
    TotalAmount = orderItems.Sum(oi => oi.TotalPrice),
    OrderItems = orderItems
};

Documentation

Complete documentation includes:

  • Detailed README with entity descriptions and relationships
  • Entity Relationship Diagram showing all table relationships
  • Usage instructions for both development and production scenarios
  • Migration guidelines for database deployment

The implementation follows Entity Framework best practices and provides a solid foundation that can be easily extended for additional eCommerce features like shopping carts, payment processing, or inventory management.

Fixes #2.
