UpdateTime Type

Introduction

UpdateTime is a value type that encapsulates DateTimeOffset internally. It is used to represent a timestamp, usually indicating the last update time of a data record.

How to Use

Define a property of type UpdateTime in your entity, and the framework will automatically handle its value updates.

using NetCorePal.Extensions.Domain;
namespace YourNamespace;

public class Order : Entity<OrderId>, IAggregateRoot
{
    /// <summary>
    /// 
    /// </summary>
    protected Order()
    {
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Update time
    /// </summary>
    public UpdateTime UpdateAt { get; private set; } = new UpdateTime(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow);
}

Control Database Field Properties

Use the [Column] attribute to control the database field name:

using NetCorePal.Extensions.Domain;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;
namespace YourNamespace;

public class Order : Entity<OrderId>, IAggregateRoot
{
    /// <summary>
    /// 
    /// </summary>
    protected Order()
    {
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Update time
    /// </summary>
    [Column(name:"update_at")]
    public UpdateTime UpdateAt { get; private set; } = new UpdateTime(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow);
}
