Trimming trailing spaces on char type

[amcorch]

Is there any sort of hook or interception where a char column can be trimmed so that the trailing spaces are removed?

I'm looking for a solution similar to this which is available in EF 6.1

Thanks

@amcorch In EF Core 2.1 a value converter can do this. Something like:

modelBuilder
    .Entity<Foo>()
    .Property(e => e.Bar)
    .HasConversion(v => v.Trim(), v => v.Trim());

This will remove any whitespace when coming out of or going into the database.

In EF Core 2.0 I don't think that there is an easy way to trim when data is coming from the database. You could override SaveChanges to trim going into the database.
