How can I extend this pattern to utili

Answer 1

Something like this could work (untested)?

public abstract class BaseEntityTypeConfiguration : IEntityTypeConfiguration
    where TBase : BaseEntity
{
    public virtual void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder entityTypeBuilder)
    {
        //Base Configuration
    }
}

public class MaintainerConfiguration : BaseEntityTypeConfiguration
{
    public override void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder entityTypeBuilder)
    {
        entityTypeBuilder.Property(b => b.CreatedDateUtc).HasDefaultValueSql("CURRENT_TIMESTAMP");
        base.Configure(entityTypeBuilder);
    }
}
