Minimal API Development with ASP.NET Core - Add Default Data

The video tutorial explains how to set up default data in a database, known as seeding. It covers overriding model creation, abstracting configurations into separate files, and seeding user roles. The tutorial also demonstrates creating and applying migrations to update the database with seeded data.

What is the primary purpose of seeding a database?

• To backup the database

• To set up default data for a new database

• To delete existing data

• To optimize database performance

Which method is overridden to start seeding data in a database?

• OnEntityCreation

• OnDatabaseSeeding

• OnModelCreating

• OnDataInsert

What is the purpose of the 'HasData' method in the context of seeding?

• To delete data from the database

• To optimize database queries

• To insert default data into the database

• To define relationships between entities

What is a benefit of abstracting configurations into separate files?

• It complicates the configuration process

• It increases the size of the codebase

• It makes the code less readable

• It helps in organizing and maintaining the code

What is the role of the 'IdentityRole' class in seeding roles?

• It optimizes role performance

• It is used to seed default courses

• It maps to the roles table in the database

• It is used to delete roles

What is the significance of the 'NormalizedName' field when seeding roles?

• It is used to delete roles

• It is a duplicate of the role name

• It is a capitalized version of the role name

• It is used to optimize role queries

What should be done if a migration fails due to missing values for 'created by' or 'modified by'?

• Restart the database

• Provide default values for these fields

• Ignore the error

• Delete the migration

Why is it important to have descriptive names for migrations?

• To confuse other developers

• To increase the migration file size

• To make the database slower

• To make it easier to identify the changes made

What happens if you don't provide an ID when seeding data?

• The database crashes

• The data is not inserted

• The system automatically generates an ID

• The seeding process fails

What is the result of running the update command after creating a migration?

• It deletes the database

• It creates a backup of the database

• It optimizes the database

• It applies the migration to the database
