Soenneker.Entities.Entity

A small domain-entity contract and base class containing a string identifier plus creation and modification timestamps. It has no persistence-framework dependency.

Install

dotnet add package Soenneker.Entities.Entity

Derive an entity

using Soenneker.Entities.Entity;

public sealed class Order : Entity
{
    public required string CustomerId { get; set; }
    public decimal Total { get; set; }
}

var now = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;

var order = new Order
{
    Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N"),
    CustomerId = "customer-42",
    Total = 125.00m,
    CreatedAt = now
};

order.Total = 140.00m;
order.ModifiedAt = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;

Use IEntity when a domain type already has another base class; derive from Entity when the supplied virtual properties are convenient.

Behavior

Id has no enforced format. A GUID, database identifier, or composite partitionKey:documentId string is an application convention.
CreatedAt defaults to DateTimeOffset.MinValue unless assigned.
ModifiedAt defaults to null.
The package does not generate identifiers, update timestamps, track changes, enforce optimistic concurrency, or map entities to database documents.

The JSON property names are id, createdAt, and modifiedAt with both System.Text.Json and Newtonsoft.Json. Null omission is controlled by the serializer settings; ModifiedAt = null is not automatically omitted by this package.
