EntityState enum

The state of a TrackedEntry in the change tracker.

State transitions:

  • (none) → detached (entity has no entry).
  • detached → added on DbSet.add.
  • detached → modified on DbSet.markModified.
  • detached → removed on DbSet.markDeleted.
  • added → unchanged on successful saveChanges.
  • modified → unchanged on successful saveChanges.
  • removed → (untracked) on successful saveChanges.
  • unchanged → modified on markModified.

Available extensions

Values

detached → const EntityState

The entity is not tracked (no entry in the ChangeTracker). The MVP DbSet does not expose markDetached directly — entries are created on add / markModified / markDeleted and removed on saveChanges. detached is the documented "no entry" sentinel used in API contracts.

added → const EntityState

The entity will be inserted by the next saveChanges. New entries start in this state.

unchanged → const EntityState

The entity is in sync with the database. Default state for entities loaded via findById / toList.

modified → const EntityState

The entity will be updated by the next saveChanges. The original values are stored in TrackedEntry.originalValues.

removed → const EntityState

The entity will be deleted by the next saveChanges.
