Pull Request Overview

This PR fixes issue #151 by adding a validation check to ensure that when using the Length attribute with additional attributes (MinLength, StringLength, and Required), the minimum length does not exceed the maximum length. It updates the constraint convention logic to aggregate minimum and maximum length values and adds thorough tests for various scenarios.

  • Refactored minimum/maximum length aggregation logic in the convention class.
  • Added unit tests for required and length attributes, including a test for exception throwing when the minimal length exceeds the maximum.

File Description
EFCore.CheckConstraints/Internal/ValidationCheckConstraintConvention.cs Updated length constraint logic to aggregate attribute values and throw an exception if minimal length exceeds maximum.
EFCore.CheckConstraints.Test/ValidationCheckConstraintTest.cs Added tests to verify that the combined constraints behave as expected and throw an error when invalid.

[nitpick] Consider renaming 'minLength' to 'computedMinLength' to better reflect that it aggregates values from multiple attributes, which could improve code clarity for future maintainers.

[nitpick] Consider renaming 'maxLength' to 'computedMaxLength' to clearly convey its role in aggregating maximum length limits from multiple attributes.

Suggested change
maxLength = maxLength is null ? a.MaximumLength : Math.Min(a.MaximumLength, maxLength.Value);
computedMaxLength = computedMaxLength is null ? a.MaximumLength : Math.Min(a.MaximumLength, computedMaxLength.Value);
