Creating Test Data

To load data into the database navigate to the helpers/DevelopmentDatabaseSetup.cs folder.

Inside the InitialiseTestDataObject() method you can instantiate different entities.

Once you instantiate an entity, to store it in the database get the database context and call the following methods:

_database.Add(<Entity Name>);
_database.SaveChanges();

Adding a User

example to instantiate a user:

_bryan = new User
            {
                UserName = "BeboBryan",
                FirstName = "Bryan",
                LastName = "Ang",
                DateOfBirth = new DateTime(1984, 02, 09),
                PhoneNumber = "02243926392",
                Email = "BryanAng@Gmail.com",
                MedicalInformation = "Dementia, Lactose Intolerant",
                BankAccount = "98-7654-3211234-210"
            };
_bryan.HashedPassword = hasher.HashPassword(_bryan, "password");

Adding a Payment

example to instantiate a payment:

_payment1 = new Payment
            {
                Id = 1,
                PaymentType = PaymentType.Electricity,
                Amount = 175,
                Fixed = false,
                Frequency = Frequency.Monthly,
                StartDate = new DateTime(2020, 03, 07),
                EndDate = new DateTime(2020, 06, 07),
                Description = "electricity"
            };

Adding a User to a Payment

A UserPayment class must be created to define the many to many relationships.

Create UserPayment class and link the Payment entity with the User entity.

 _userPaymentBryan1 = new UserPayment
            {
                Payment = _payment1,
                User = _bryan,
                UserId = _bryan.Id,
                PaymentId = _payment1.Id
            };

Then add the UserPayment object to both the Payment entity and the User entity.

• To add more users to payments create more UserPayment objects to link the payment and user and add it to the UserPayments lists in each User and Payment object as shown below.

_payment1.UserPayments = new List<UserPayment> { _userPaymentBryan1}
_bryan.UserPayments = new List<UserPayment> { _userPaymentBryan1}

Adding a Schedule

example to add a Schedule

 _schedule1 = new Schedule
            {
                UserName = "BeboBryan",
                ScheduleType = ScheduleType.Away,
                StartDate = new DateTime(2020, 04, 01),
                EndDate = new DateTime(2020, 05, 01)
            };

Adding a Flat

_flat1 = new Flat
            {
                Id = 1,
                Address = "50 Symonds Street",
                Users = new List<User> { _bryan },
                Schedules = new List<Schedule> { _schedule1 },
                Payments = new List<Payment> { _payment2 }
            };
