AspNetCoreDateAndTimeOnly 1.0.5

AspNetCoreDateAndTimeOnly

A library that supports DateOnly and TimeOnly data types for AspNetCore.

Installing

You can also install via the .NET CLI with the following command:

dotnet add package AspNetCoreDateAndTimeOnly

If you're using Visual Studio you can also install via the built in NuGet package manager.

Usage

To support DateOnly and TimeOnly in SqlServer EntitityFrameworkCore add the AddSuportDateAndTimeSqlServer extension after UseSqlServer.

builder.Services.AddDbContext<TContext>(options =>
        {
            options.UseSqlServer(conection);
            options.AddSuportDateAndTimeSqlServer();
        });

In the OnModelCreating of the DbContext use the extension function AddSqlFunctions.

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);

        modelBuilder.AddSqlFunctions();
    }

You can use the ToDateOnly extension function in queries to compare Datetime with DateOnly.

queryable.Where(t => t.DatetimeProperty.ToDateOnly() == dateOnlyParameter)

.Net 6

In net 6 you have to add a TypeDescriptor to the MvcBuilder with the UseDateOnlyTimeOnlyStringConverters extension of the MvcBuilder.

builder.Services.AddControllers(options =>
        {
            options.UseDateOnlyTimeOnlyStringConverters();
        });

And converters with the AddDateAndTimeJsonConverters extension in AddJsonOptions of the MvcBuilder of the nuget library AspNetCoreDateAndTimeOnly.Json.

builder.Services.AddControllers()
        .AddJsonOptions(options =>
        {
            options.JsonSerializerOptions.Converters.AddDateAndTimeJsonConverters();
        });

Swagger

Add DateOnly and TimeOnly support for Swagger with the UseDateOnlyTimeOnlyStringConverters extension method.

builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen(c => c.UseDateOnlyTimeOnlyStringConverters());
