[Feature] Change EntityTypeName and EntityFileName transformer to be able to use IEntityType about entityframeworkcore.scaffolding.handlebars HOT 10 CLOSED

Digging around I didn't see any way to prefix the schema
Have you seen the Schema Folders feature?

services.AddHandlebarsScaffolding(options =>
{
    // Put Models into folders by DB Schema
    options.EnableSchemaFolders = true;
});

Does this meet your need?

Ah I have seen that and it's handy but doesn't quite fit the bill. I was explicitly asked to prefix the class name with the schema by the lead developer. It would also help with the fact we have a bunch of duplicate table names across schemas, so being able to prefix might fix some of the Table, Table1, Table2, naming issues we run into.

Have a look at the sample app and you'll see that DB schema names are represented as folders, which adds the schema to the namespace for each class within that namespace. This solves the problem of duplicate table names across schemas, because they are disambiguated by namespace, which is how it's done in C#.

Ah I probably just muddied the waters mentioning duplicate tables. I had wanted to use schema folders, but it isn't up to me. My team lead is having to compromise between moving to modern .Net standards while keeping to some of the company's older, custom conventions. In this case, he opted to prefix schema names to entities to keep with the custom conventions.

I could go into more detail but in the end we were hoping for more control over naming entities. That said if that's not something you think would be good to allow no worries. I can make my own fork for this specific project.

Ah I do keep forgetting about that, I'll consider that in the future. In this case I've used this Handlebars.Net + this in the past at other companies and really liked it. We had started to use it at my current company when I learned we needed to change how naming is handled. I wanted to see if this library was open to making that change before I look at other options.

I've got a couple of ideas, I'll spin up a fork and see if I can make it work.

We also need this functionality as well. Can we also get the ability to know what the foreign table is in these property transformers, like the constructor and nav transformers? We really need to be able to know what the property's foreign table is in the relationship, so we know what to rename the types and property names correctly to.

Closed #233 pending the .NET 8 upgrade. @mwmccallum, When you have time, we can circle back to have a look at this feature request.
