I would like to take advantage of the new ability to customize pluralization with EF6. I've searched the entire intertwangles but can't find a decent example.
I generate my model from the database (SQL Server) and I use custom T4 templates to generate the context and model classes.
From what I can tell, I should be able to create a class which inherits from DbConfiguration and simply place it in the model project. I have done this.
Public Class CustomConfiguration
Inherits DbConfiguration
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
SetPluralizationService(New CustomPluralizationService)
End Sub
End Class
This class references CustomPluralizationService which I understand must implement IPluralizationService. Fine and dandy:
Imports System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.Pluralization
Public Class CustomPluralizationService
Implements IPluralizationService
Public Function Pluralize(word As String) As String Implements System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.Pluralization.IPluralizationService.Pluralize
End Function
Public Function Singularize(word As String) As String Implements System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.Pluralization.IPluralizationService.Singularize
End Function
End Class
Of course I should complete the implementation of the Pluralize and Singularize functions, but am at a loss how exactly to do it, as I cannot find a completed example anywhere, in any language. Can someone help, please?
The documentation on MSDN has cryptic garbage like this:
Function Pluralize ( _
word As [%$TOPIC/dn176961_en-us_VS_113_3_0_0_0_0%] _
) As [%$TOPIC/dn176961_en-us_VS_113_3_0_0_0_1%]
Dim instance As [%$TOPIC/dn176961_en-us_VS_113_3_0_1_0_0%]
Dim word As [%$TOPIC/dn176961_en-us_VS_113_3_0_1_0_1%]
Dim returnValue As [%$TOPIC/dn176961_en-us_VS_113_3_0_1_0_2%]
returnValue = instance.Pluralize(word)
[%$TOPIC/dn176961_en-us_VS_113_3_0_2_0_0%] Pluralize(
[%$TOPIC/dn176961_en-us_VS_113_3_0_2_0_1%] word
)
[%$TOPIC/dn176961_en-us_VS_113_3_0_3_0_0%]^ Pluralize(
[%$TOPIC/dn176961_en-us_VS_113_3_0_3_0_1%]^ word
)
