Session: How to Customize Collection Assignment for Entities
Entities are grouped into collections on the server side. In order to determine the collection name that an entity belongs to
there are special conventions which return the collection name based on the type of an entity: FindCollectionName
and FindCollectionNameForDynamic
.
Example
By default a collection name is pluralized form of a name of an entity type. For example objects of type Category
will belong to Categories
collection. However if your intention
is to classify them as ProductGroups
use the following code:
store.Conventions.FindCollectionName = type =>
{
if (typeof(Category).IsAssignableFrom(type))
return "ProductGroups";
return DocumentConventions.DefaultGetCollectionName(type);
};
This can become very useful when there is a need to deal with polymorphic data.
