How to define foreign key relationship in EF Core 2.1

Question

I am using EF Core 2.1 for my DAL. This is how my model looks like

One user can have only one role:

// Role entity - kind of master
public class Role
{
    public int RoleId { get; set; }

    public string RoleName { get; set; }
}

// User entity - every user will have one role
public class User
{
    public int UserId { get; set; }

    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }

    public int RoleId { get; set; }
    public bool IsActive { get; set; }
    public DateTime CreatedOn { get; set; }

    public virtual Role Role { get; set; }
}

This is how I was thinking/tried to define the relationship between these two entities:

public void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder<User> builder)
{
    builder.HasKey(x => x.UserId);
    builder.Property(x => x.RoleId).IsRequired(true);
    builder.Property(x => x.CreatedOn).IsRequired(true).HasDefaultValue(DateTime.Now);

    // FK - throwing compile time error 
    builder.HasOne(x => x.Role).WithOne(y => y.RoleId);
}

How do I define this one user one role relation using EF Fluent API?

Thanks.

Not only in the FK relationship configuration, you also have problem in the default value generation configuration for the CreatedOn column. So write your Entity Configuration as follows:

public void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder<User> builder)
{
    builder.HasKey(u => u.UserId);
    builder.Property(u => u.CreatedOn).IsRequired(true).HasDefaultValueSql("getdate()");

    // FK - configuraiton
    builder.HasOne(u => u.Role).WithMany().HasForeignKey(u => u.RoleId).IsRequired(true);
}
