Extends [Verify](https://github.com/VerifyTests/Verify) to allow verification of EntityFramework bits.
Support is available via a [Tidelift Subscription](https://tidelift.com/subscription/pkg/nuget-verify?utm_source=nuget-verify&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=enterprise).

## Usage
Enable VerifyEntityFramewok once at assembly load time:
### EF Core
```cs
VerifyEntityFramework.Enable();
```

### ChangeTracking
Added, deleted, and Modified entities can be verified by performing changes on a DbContext and then verifying the instance of ChangeTracking. This approach leverages the [EntityFramework ChangeTracker](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.entityframeworkcore.changetracking.changetracker).
#### Added entity
This test:
```cs
[Test]
public async Task Added()
{
var options = DbContextOptions();
await using var data = new SampleDbContext(options);
var company = new Company
{
Content = "before"
};
data.Add(company);
await Verifier.Verify(data.ChangeTracker);
}
```
snippet source | anchor
Will result in the following verified file:
```txt
{
Added: {
Company: {
Id: 0,
Content: 'before'
}
}
}
```
snippet source | anchor
#### Deleted entity
This test:
```cs
[Test]
public async Task Deleted()
{
var options = DbContextOptions();
await using var data = new SampleDbContext(options);
data.Add(new Company {Content = "before"});
await data.SaveChangesAsync();
var company = data.Companies.Single();
data.Companies.Remove(company);
await Verifier.Verify(data.ChangeTracker);
}
```
snippet source | anchor
Will result in the following verified file:
```txt
{
Deleted: {
Company: {
Id: 0
}
}
}
```
snippet source | anchor
#### Modified entity
This test:
```cs
[Test]
public async Task Modified()
{
var options = DbContextOptions();
await using var data = new SampleDbContext(options);
var company = new Company
{
Content = "before"
};
data.Add(company);
await data.SaveChangesAsync();
data.Companies.Single().Content = "after";
await Verifier.Verify(data.ChangeTracker);
}
```
snippet source | anchor
Will result in the following verified file:
```txt
{
Modified: {
Company: {
Id: 0,
Content: {
Original: 'before',
Current: 'after'
}
}
}
}
```

### Queryable
This test:
```cs
[Test]
public async Task Queryable()
{
var database = await DbContextBuilder.GetDatabase("Queryable");
var data = database.Context;
var queryable = data.Companies
.Where(x => x.Content == "value");
await Verifier.Verify(queryable);
}
```
snippet source | anchor
Will result in the following verified file:
### EF Core
```txt
SELECT [c].[Id], [c].[Content]
FROM [Companies] AS [c]
WHERE [c].[Content] = N'value'
```
snippet source | anchor
### EF Classic
```txt
SELECT
[Extent1].[Id] AS [Id],
[Extent1].[Content] AS [Content]
FROM [dbo].[Companies] AS [Extent1]
WHERE N'value' = [Extent1].[Content]
```
