4.1.1

• Fixed "missing namespace"

4.1.0

Features

• EF ValueConverters can be applied on DbContextOptionsBuilder via method UseValueObjectValueConverter

Changes

• Analyzer: smart enums and value object must not be generic.
• Value object source gen should always generate a private ctor, i.e. even if the value object has no assignable members.
• Both AddEnumAndValueObjectConverters and UseValueObjectValueConverter handle struct enums/value objects
• Source gen: the types are fully qualified
• Adjusted newtonsoft and messagepack serializer/formatter so the (de)serialization of null is consistent.

4.0.1

• Source Gen: Include the namespace into the source gen hintName, in case there are multiple types with the same name.
• Source Gen (Value Objects): Implement IComparable if the key member has an IComparer.

4.0.0

Features

• Added support for EF Core 6

Improvements:

• Migrated the source generator from ISourceGenerator to IIncrementalGenerator
• Added "short-time cache" to AddEnumAndValueObjectConverters
• Some type references generated by the source gen are fully qualified now

Breaking Changes:

• Deleted "CollectionExtensions" because they were causing API polution.
• Removed SplitInBuckets in .NET 6 because we have the method "Chunk" now.

3.1.0

• Enum.Get throws UnknownEnumIdentifierException which inherits from KeyNotFoundException
• The JsonSerializers catch UnknownEnumIdentifierException and throw JsonException/JsonSerializationException which are handled properly by the frameworks like ASP.NET Core.

3.0.0

• (BREAKING) Enum-like classes have been rewritten to use "Roslyn Source Generators" (see wiki: Enum like classes (a.k.a smart enums) for more information)
• New: Immutable value objects (wiki: Immutable value objects)

3.0.0-beta10

• Added new switch "NullInFactoryMethodsYieldsNull" for value type source gen.
• Added extension method "TrimOrNullify" for strings
• (BREAKING) Renamed "ValueType" to "ValueObject"

3.0.0-beta09

• A "class"-key-member can be casted to a "class"-ValueType
• Added extension methods AddReturn and AddChain for ICollection<T>
• (BREAKING) Deleted source gen for ModelBinderAttribute because ValueTypeModelBinderProvider gives us more control.

3.0.0-beta08

• ValueTypeModelBinderProvider should not try to bind value from body so JSON serializer kicks in
• JSON converters should catch ValidationException and throw JsonExceptions
• ValueTypeModelBinderProvider should not bind value with [FromService] as well

3.0.0-beta07

• ValueTypeMetadataLookup.Find triggers the module constructor if there is no metadata for an enum/value type
• Extension method AddEnumAndValueTypeConverters works with nested owned types now
• Moved EnumConstructorAttribute, ValueTypeMetadata and ValueTypeMetadataLookup to folder "Internal"
• Extension method AddEnumAndValueTypeConverters is using ctors of the value types for reading instead of factories because DB is "source of truth"
