Add Entity Field

Add Entity Field Skill

Add a new field to an existing entity/model in the NovaTune project.

Steps

1. Identify the entity file

   • Location: src/NovaTuneApp/NovaTuneApp.ApiService/Models/
   • File naming: {EntityName}.cs

2. Add the property to the entity class

   public required string NewFieldName { get; set; }
   // Or for optional fields:
   public string? OptionalFieldName { get; set; }
   

3. Update related services

   • Check src/NovaTuneApp/NovaTuneApp.ApiService/Services/ for services that use this entity
   • Update DTOs if they exist
   • Update any mapping logic

4. Update endpoints

   • Check src/NovaTuneApp/NovaTuneApp.ApiService/Endpoints/ for affected endpoints
   • Update request/response models if needed

5. Update RavenDB indexes if applicable

   • Location: src/NovaTuneApp/NovaTuneApp.ApiService/Infrastructure/RavenDb/
   • Add field to index if it will be queried

6. Add tests

   • Unit tests: src/unit_tests/
   • Integration tests: src/NovaTuneApp/NovaTuneApp.Tests/

Code Style

• Use required for mandatory fields
• Use nullable reference types (?) for optional fields
• PascalCase for property names
• Add XML documentation comments for public APIs
