# Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework

**Kind:** Service

**Source:** `Pams/API/Pams.API/Pams.API.csproj` (line 1)

**Part of:** [Pams](subsystem-pams)

NuGet package dependency

`Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework` is a NuGet package dependency declared by `Pams.API.csproj`. It connects the legacy ASP.NET Identity model to Entity Framework storage used by the Pams API authentication and authorization code.

    participant Build as Pams.API.csproj
    participant NuGet as NuGet Restore
    participant Identity as Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework
    participant EF as Entity Framework Store

    Build->>NuGet: Restore package dependency
    NuGet->>Identity: Resolve identity Entity Framework package
    Identity->>EF: Configure identity data stores
    Build->>Identity: Reference identity persistence types
```

## Usage

```javascript
import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises";

const projectFile = "Pams/API/Pams.API/Pams.API.csproj";
const packageName = "Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework";

const projectXml = await readFile(projectFile, "utf8");

if (projectXml.includes(packageName)) {
  console.log(`${packageName} is declared in ${projectFile}`);
} else {
  throw new Error(`${packageName} is not declared in ${projectFile}`);
}
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Keep `Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework` aligned with the ASP.NET Identity packages referenced by the API project.
- Check the legacy project file dependency format before changing package references or restore configuration.
- Treat identity persistence changes as API integration changes because authentication code may depend on Entity Framework-backed identity stores.
- Verify package restore and project build output after modifying `Pams.API.csproj`.
