ModelMetadata

ModelMetadata (source) is a parameter object class which encapsulates both the types of entities recognised by LazyEntityGraph, and any constraints which the library should adhere to. It is passed to ProxyInstanceCreator (source) as a constructor argument. It has two properties:

• EntityTypes
  • A list of types which are recognised as a part of the model.
• Constraints
  • A list of Property Constraints which are applied to generated classes.

An instance of ModelMetadata may be constructed by manually specifying these two lists; alternatively, it is possible to generate the model metadata from an ORM (see Entity Framework).
