Entity Name in Plural Form

[noufionline]

Hi Tony,

Greetings again.

Is there any way you can help us to create entities without pluralization? We prefer Customer instead of Customers.

So there are a few steps to follow to use pluralization in EF Core.

• Install-Package Inflector
• Add a class that implements IPluralizer

public class MyPluralizer : IPluralizer
{
    public string Pluralize(string name)
    {
        return Inflector.Inflector.Pluralize(name) ?? name;
    }

    public string Singularize(string name)
    {
        return Inflector.Inflector.Singularize(name) ?? name;
    }
}

• Add a line of code to IDesignTimeServices.ConfigureDesignTimeServices:

services.AddSingleton<IPluralizer, MyPluralizer>();
