How to use EF Core 5 with DDD style projects - part 1
This is episode 1 of 3 in our mini-series on using Entity Framework (EF) Core 5 in DDD style projects with Willem Meints. Often, you may find that the concepts that you want to apply in a DDD style project don't play nice with EF. Things like aggregates containing multiple entities and immutability can be a challenge. Willem will dive into some features that are added to EF Core 5 to overcome these challenges.
In part 1, Willem focuses on mapping entities to a relational database model.
In part 2 ( • How to use EF Core 5 with DDD style p... ), he addresses collections and handling multiple entities.
In part 3 ( • How to use EF Core 5 with DDD style p... ), he focuses on working with multiple aggregates in a domain.
You can find the code that Willem shows in his GitHub repo:
