Scaffold Fixer

A simple tool to make Entity Framework scaffold output a little bit nicer

What it does?

• Removes virtual from entity classes
• Removes the connection string from the DbContext
• Moves table configurations from DbContext to configuration classes that implements IEntityTypeConfiguration
• Changes the namespace to a specified one

Use it

Steps:

• Clone the repo
• Install dependencies with a node package manager (I suggest pnpm)

pnpm install

• Build the project

pnpm build

• See the available arguments with

pnpm start --help

Assumptions

This script assumes:

• That the input files uses 4 spaces tabulation
• That inside the input path is present the DbContext file and the Entities folder
• The DbContext file name ends with Context.cs

The script does not copy other files from the input to the output folder, only the DbContext and the files inside the Entities folder

TODO

• Make the rename of namespace optional
• Make the code less ugly
• Switch to TypeScript
• Make a npm executable (use the bin field of package.json as described here)
