Extending the UserManager in C#

Extending the UserManager in C#

In ASP.NET Core, the UserManager<TUser> class is used to manage user accounts and authentication. You can extend the UserManager<TUser> class by creating a custom class that inherits from it and adds additional functionality or overrides existing methods.

Here's an example of how to extend the UserManager<TUser> class:

  • Create a custom UserManager class: Create a new class that inherits from UserManager<TUser> and add any additional methods or properties that you need.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity; using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging; using Microsoft.Extensions.Options; public class CustomUserManager<TUser> : UserManager<TUser> where TUser : class { public CustomUserManager(IUserStore<TUser> store, IOptions<IdentityOptions> optionsAccessor, IPasswordHasher<TUser> passwordHasher, IEnumerable<IUserValidator<TUser>> userValidators, IEnumerable<IPasswordValidator<TUser>> passwordValidators, ILookupNormalizer keyNormalizer, IdentityErrorDescriber errors, IServiceProvider services, ILogger<UserManager<TUser>> logger) : base(store, optionsAccessor, passwordHasher, userValidators, passwordValidators, keyNormalizer, errors, services, logger) { } public async Task<bool> IsEmailConfirmedAsync(TUser user) { return await base.IsEmailConfirmedAsync(user); } // Add any other custom methods or properties here }

In this example, a custom CustomUserManager<TUser> class is created that inherits from UserManager<TUser> and adds a new IsEmailConfirmedAsync method.

  • Register the custom UserManager: In the ConfigureServices method of your Startup class, replace the default UserManager<TUser> registration with your custom CustomUserManager<TUser> registration.
services.AddIdentity<MyUser, IdentityRole>() .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>() .AddDefaultTokenProviders() .AddUserManager<CustomUserManager<MyUser>>();

In this example, the AddUserManager<CustomUserManager<MyUser>> method is used to register the CustomUserManager<MyUser> class instead of the default UserManager<MyUser> class.

  • Use the custom UserManager: In your code, use the custom CustomUserManager<TUser> class instead of the default UserManager<TUser> class.
private readonly CustomUserManager<MyUser> _userManager; public MyService(CustomUserManager<MyUser> userManager) { _userManager = userManager; } public async Task<bool> IsUserEmailConfirmed(string userId) { var user = await _userManager.FindByIdAsync(userId); if (user == null) { return false; } return await _userManager.IsEmailConfirmedAsync(user); }

In this example, the CustomUserManager<MyUser> class is injected into the MyService constructor and used to check if a user's email is confirmed.

Note that you can add any number of custom methods or properties to your custom CustomUserManager<TUser> class, and you can override any of the methods inherited from the UserManager<TUser> class as needed.
