Recommended way to force varchar / unicode=false on SmartEnum properties with EFCore

[KennethScott]

I'd like to force the EFCore generated property types for all SmartEnums with a Value type of string to be varchars instead of the nvarchar (unicode) default. I know this is really more of an EFCore type question, but because of the generic nature of the enum types, I haven't been able to figure out quite what it would look like.

I would normally just turn off Unicode for the relevant type in ConfigureConventions():

configurationBuilder.Properties<string>().AreUnicode(false);

I think I could just list each specific enum type like this:

cofigurationBuilder.Properties<SmartEnum<MyConcreteType1, string>>().AreUnicode(false);
configurationBuilder.Properties<SmartEnum<MyConcreteType2, string>>().AreUnicode(false);

But I was hoping to do something more generic based on inheritance/derived types and not have to hardcode each of them.

Anyone know of a way I could do that globally to all the types derived from SmartEnum?

Thanks-

I'm not sure if this would work since I don't have a need for it, but maybe it will get you started on a solution.

    var properties = modelBuilder.Model.GetEntityTypes()
        .Where(x => x.ClrType.IsSmartEnum())
        .SelectMany(x => x.GetProperties())
        .Where(p=>p.IsUnicode() == true)
        .Select(p=>p);
    foreach(var property in properties) { property.SetIsUnicode(false); }
