Options for implementing required changes (TECHNICAL)

The Company Model currently looks like this:

namespace InductionManager.Core.Models

{

public class Company

{

public int Id { get; set; }

public DateTime RegistrationDate { get; set; }

public int? ParentCompanyId { get; set; }

public int? LicenceTypeId { get; set; }

public CompanyStatus Status { get; set; }

public string Name { get; set; }

public string ContactName { get; set; }

public string ContactPhone { get; set; }

public string ContactEmail { get; set; }

public string Website { get; set; }

public string DefaultNotificationEmail { get; set; }

public string ReportNotificationEmail { get; set; }

public string Code { get; set; }

public DateTime? BillingDate { get; set; }

public string CryptoPassword { get; set; }

// Navigation properties

public virtual ICollection< User> Users { get; set; }

public virtual Company ParentCompany { get; set; }

public virtual LicenceType LicenceType { get; set; }

public virtual ICollection< CompanyListItem> CompanyListItems { get; set; }

public virtual ICollection< CustomEmailTemplate> CustomEmails { get; set; }

}

}

The requirements could be implemented by:

1. New “Contractor Model” in Core

The Contractor Model would extend the Company Model.

namespace InductionManager.Core.Models

{

public class Contractor: Company

{

// Additional properties

/*

ContractorTypeId –

Self-Sufficient = 1

Subsidised = 0

*/

public int ContractorTypeId { get; set; }

// Navigation properties

public virtual ContractorType ContractorType { get; set; }

}

}

2. Additional Properties on the “Company” Model

The Company Model will be extended to look like the following:

namespace InductionManager.Core.Models

{

public class Company

{

public int Id { get; set; }

public DateTime RegistrationDate { get; set; }

public int? ParentCompanyId { get; set; }

public int? LicenceTypeId { get; set; }

public CompanyStatus Status { get; set; }

public string Name { get; set; }

public string ContactName { get; set; }

public string ContactPhone { get; set; }

public string ContactEmail { get; set; }

public string Website { get; set; }

public string DefaultNotificationEmail { get; set; }

public string ReportNotificationEmail { get; set; }

public string Code { get; set; }

public DateTime? BillingDate { get; set; }

public string CryptoPassword { get; set; }

// Additional properties

/*

ContractorTypeId –

Self-Sufficient = 1

Subsidised = 0

*/

public int? ContractorTypeId { get; set; }

// Navigation properties

public virtual ICollection< User> Users { get; set; }

public virtual Company ParentCompany { get; set; }

public virtual LicenceType LicenceType { get; set; }

public virtual ICollection< CompanyListItem> CompanyListItems { get; set; }

public virtual ICollection< CustomEmailTemplate> CustomEmails { get; set; }

// Additional properties

public virtual ContractorType ContractorType { get; set; }

}

}
