How to load navigation properties on an IdentityUser with UserManager

Question

I\'ve extended IdentityUser to include a navigation property for the user\'s address, however when getting the user with UserManager.FindByEmailAsync

Answer 1

I found it useful to write an extension on the UserManager class.

public static async Task FindByUserAsync(
    this UserManager input,
    ClaimsPrincipal user )
{
    return await input.Users
        .Include(x => x.InverseNavigationTable)
        .SingleOrDefaultAsync(x => x.NormalizedUserName == user.Identity.Name.ToUpper());
}
