Creating Phone Entity

Let's start by creating a new Entity, Phone in .Core project:

[Table("PbPhones")]
public class Phone : CreationAuditedEntity<long>
{

    [ForeignKey("PersonId")]
    public virtual Person Person { get; set; }
    public virtual int PersonId { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public virtual PhoneType Type { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [MaxLength(PhoneConsts.MaxNumberLength)]
    public virtual string Number { get; set; }
}

And PhoneConsts in Core.Shared project:

public class PhoneConsts
{
    public const int MaxNumberLength = 16;
}

Phone entities are stored in PbPhones table. Its primary key is long and it inherits creation auditing properties. It has a reference to Person entity which owns the phone number.

We added a Phones collection to the People:

[Table("PbPersons")]
public class Person : FullAuditedEntity
{
    //...other properties

    public virtual ICollection<Phone> Phones { get; set; }
}

We have a PhoneType enum in .Core.Shared project as shown below:

public enum PhoneType : byte
{
    Mobile,
    Home,
    Business
}

Lastly, we're also adding a DbSet property for Phone to our DbContext:

public virtual DbSet<Phone> Phones { get; set; }
