Shadow Property

Motivation

Since we can have default behaviors for propertiesSome fields just need to be hide to prevent accidental modification in code-side.

public class Genre
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public DateTime CreatedDateTime { get; set; } 
    [JsonIgnore]
    public ICollection<Movie> Movies { get; set; } = new HashSet<Movie>();
}

builder.Propert<DateTime>("CreatedDateTime") // what name the shadown property should have
    .HasDefaultValueSql("now()")

Access shadown property

// inside http api
// `genre` is from post
_ = context.Entry(genre).Property("CreatedDateTime").CurrentValue;
