Dapper use singular table name

Question

I experimented with Dapper and Dapper.Contrib. I have the following class:

public class Customer
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstNam         


        

Answer 1

Dapper.Contrib supports the Table attribute. Use it to manually specify the name of the table that an entity uses. See the docs for further information.

Alternatively there is a static delegate on SqlMapperExtensions called TableNameMapper. You can replace this with an implementation that performs the pluralization. PluralizationService in the framework can help you here.

It is used as follows:

SqlMapperExtensions.TableNameMapper = (type) => {
    // do something here to pluralize the name of the type
    return type.Name;
};
