Shouldn't ClearEntityToTableNameConversionRules be accessible?

Default behavior is to pluralize entities (which is odd since its the opposite of how Dapper itself works by default) but there's also no way to override it as the method is protected in OrmConventions

Probably best solution is to expose it as a boolean property on OrmConfiguration that in turn sets the conventions appropriately.

Not sure I understand what you mean. A table holding a list of user details should obviously be called Users, while the db entity holding the details for a single record should be called User, and this is exactly what the default is in FastCrud.

And yes, you can override everything you want. The details on how to do that is inside the wiki.

ahhh I see now, that's how you have it designed. OK that's great, thank you for the reply.

Definitely not the way it was taught to me. Entities and tables are always always singular as they are meant to describe what a single row in that table represents. It appears to be a strongly contested preference though, like the argument of whether to put the opening brace on the same line or not (I do the former myself). I think it just depends who you learned from, most of my instructors were older guys coming from C and C++ backgrounds so I suspect that's where the brace thing came from, it's probably the same thing with table naming I suspect. Lots of discussion on it with arguments both ways tho:

I think the best comment in those links was I bet if you put a label on a sock drawer you'd call it "Socks"😄

But you're right, at the end of the day it's a personal preference.
