adding [Question]

[ghisbo]

I am using EntityFrameworkCore.Scaffolding.Handlebars to generate xaml . it works ok ( i generate it as comment code in entity models)

except for 1 issue: i need the ordinal of the Column to generate the grid.

I modified the HbsCSharpEntityTypeGenerator GenerateProperties method by adding "property-ordinal", but it is not working ( always empty string)

in: HbsCSharpEntityTypeGenerator GenerateProperties

   properties.Add(new Dictionary<string, object>
   {
   { "property-type", propertyType },
   { "property-name", property.Name },
   { "property-ordinal", property.GetColumnOrdinal() },
   { "property-annotations",  PropertyAnnotationsData },
   { "property-comment", _options?.Value?.GenerateComments == true ? GenerateComment(property.GetComment(), 2) : null },
   { "property-isnullable", property.IsNullable },
   { "nullable-reference-types", _options?.Value?.EnableNullableReferenceTypes == true }
  });   

in Class.hbs:

 {{#each properties}}
        <Label Grid.Row="{{property-ordinal}}" Content="{{property-name}}" />
        <TextBox Grid.Row="{{property-ordinal}}" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Path=Entity.{{property-name}} }" />
        {{/each}}

Is the .GetColumnOrdinal() not giving the value? May need to have an incrementing variable as you go through properties (should be looped through in ordinal order) if that's the issue?

[ghisbo]

the .getColumnOrdinal does the job ( if i debug with console.writeline) but it seams to dissappear afterwards. I tried it with a counter as well and it gives the same.

[JohnGoldInc]

Maybe use Handlebars built in {{@index}} notation? I'd also try property.GetColumnOrdinal().ToString()

[JohnGoldInc]

Oh did you add property-ordinal to HbsEntityTypeTransformationService as well?

[ghisbo]

That was the problem. I added it there as well Thanks

    public List<Dictionary<string, object>> TransformProperties(List<Dictionary<string, object>> properties)
    {
        var transformedProperties = new List<Dictionary<string, object>>();

        foreach (var property in properties)
        {
            var propTypeInfo = new EntityPropertyInfo(property["property-type"] as string, 
                property["property-name"] as string,
                (property["property-isnullable"] as bool?) == true);
            var transformedProp = PropertyTransformer?.Invoke(propTypeInfo) ?? propTypeInfo;

            transformedProperties.Add(new Dictionary<string, object>
            {
                { "property-type", transformedProp.PropertyType },
                { "property-name", transformedProp.PropertyName },
                { "property-ordinal",property["property-ordinal"] },
                { "property-annotations", property["property-annotations"] },
                { "property-comment", property["property-comment"] },
                { "property-isnullable", transformedProp.PropertyIsNullable },
                { "nullable-reference-types", property["nullable-reference-types"] }
            });
        }
