I am working on T4Scaffolding, i am using model to generate code, the thing is that the model, thats is POCO for DB, it must have a defined primary key else my code fails,
Here is my command
Scaffold MyScaffolder smArtistDetails -Force
Here is the .ps1 script
[T4Scaffolding.Scaffolder(Description = "Enter a description of ExtMapping here")][CmdletBinding()]
param(
[parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)]
[string]$ModelType,
[string]$Project,
[string]$CodeLanguage,
[string[]]$TemplateFolders,
[switch]$Force = $false
)
$mynamespace = "Sma"
$projectFor = $mynamespace + ".Infrastructure.Data"
$namespace = $projectFor # (Get-Project $projectFor).Properties.Item("DefaultNamespace").Value
$outputPath = "Mapping\" + $ModelType
Write-Host "Scaffolding $ModelType ExtMapping..."
$useModelFromProject = $mynamespace + ".Domain"
# get the modelType object from the name
$foundModelType = Get-ProjectType $ModelType -Project $useModelFromProject -BlockUi
$primaryKey = Get-PrimaryKey $ModelType -Project $useModelFromProject
$modelOutputPath = "Mapping\" + $ModelType + "Map"
Add-ProjectItemViaTemplate $modelOutputPath -Template ExtMapping `
-Model @{
Namespace = $namespace;
ModelType = [MarshalByRefObject]$foundModelType;
PrimaryKey = $primaryKey;
EntityName = $ModelType } `
-SuccessMessage "Added ExtMapping output at $projectFor" `
-TemplateFolders $TemplateFolders -Project $projectFor -CodeLanguage $CodeLanguage -Force:$Force
and here is my 74 template code

what to do.. If the primary key is not found i want to follow a different output\genration method.
Should i switch from script to a different template, if yes then How
or Should i handle this in this template, if yes then how.
I would check if the PK was found in the PS, and if not call another template... Personally I would force all the classes in the model to inherit a abstract base class that already has a primary key. That way this will never be an issue. But then again, your purpose might be something I do not know of...
