How to extend IdentityUser in a Blazor serverside web application - entity-framework

Question

Historically, when I have wanted to add a column or columns on to the AspNetUsers table, the workflow I would follow is as per the following:
1.Create an ApplicationUser class, inherit IdentityUser from it.
2.Add the new properties to the application user class
3:Update the applicationDbContext to inherit from: IdentityDbContext
4:Alter any references to IdentityUser in startup code eg:Startup.cs / Global etc
5:Add-Migration MigrationName
6: Update-Database
this would generate the Up/Down scripts for the new column and add the column to my database.
However, I have spun up a new Blazor serverside web-application and done the steps above to no avail.
Can anyone see anything i'm missing here, I have done this enough times in the past that I find it weird that I may have missed something, but anything is possible. hopefully someone can help, please see below for the code I have altered trying to achieve this.
Application DB context code:
namespace ExtendingBlazorIdentity.Data
{
public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
{
public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options)
: base(options)
{
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
{
base.OnModelCreating(builder);
}
}
}
Application User Class:
namespace ExtendingBlazorIdentity.Data
{
public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
string NickName { get; set; }
}
}
Startup.cs
namespace ExtendingBlazorIdentity
{
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
Configuration = configuration;
}
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
// For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(
Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
services.AddDefaultIdentity<ApplicationUser>(options => options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true)
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>();
services.AddRazorPages();
services.AddServerSideBlazor();
services.AddScoped<AuthenticationStateProvider, RevalidatingIdentityAuthenticationStateProvider<ApplicationUser>>();
services.AddDatabaseDeveloperPageExceptionFilter();
services.AddSingleton<WeatherForecastService>();
}
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
app.UseMigrationsEndPoint();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
// The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllers();
endpoints.MapBlazorHub();
endpoints.MapFallbackToPage("/_Host");
});
}
}
}

Your property is not public.
public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
public string NickName { get; set; }
}
