Predefined Data and Demo Data

Much applications need predefined data for some entities (like Country, Currency, etc.). Rapidex.Data provides an easy way to define and apply this data with YAML format.

Different predefined data sets can be created for different databases (tenants).

Sample

Define entity (concrete or soft) and add predefined data for it.

public class Country : DbConcreteEntityBase
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Code { get; set; } // ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code
    public string Iso2 { get; set; }
    public string Iso3 { get; set; }
    public string CurrencySymbol { get; set; }
    public string PhoneCode { get; set; }
}

Create yaml file and place it in the any folder you use for entity definitions

_tag: data 
forceAllValues: true
data:
  - entity: country
    id: 36
    name: Australia
    code: AU
    iso2: AU
    iso3: AUS
    phoneCode: 61
    currencySymbol: "AUD" # 36

  - entity: country
    id: 840
    name: United States
    code: US
    iso2: US
    iso3: USA
    phoneCode: 1
    currencySymbol: "USD" # 840
