❔ How to best upload images to an entity that doesn't yet exist

Not sure if the title makes sense. When you create an accomodation, you can also upload images. But uploading images to blob storage is a different endpoint and it takes in the id of the accomodation... which doesn't yet exist. All the solutions I've come up with seem long-winded and overly complex.

Basically, the problem is, you need an identifier to associate with the uploaded file but that identifier doesn't exist yet since the db record isn't yet created

partial class?

@Predanot sure it solves the problem. The problem is that I dont want accomodations created without a photo. It's easy to disjoint the process of creating an accomodation and uploading images, but i'm not sure a partial class will allow me to require photo uploads during hte creation of an accomodation

Don't make it a separate endpoint, handle it all in the same one 
var thing = new Thing {
    Name = data.Name,
    Count = data.Count,
    Date = DateTime.Now
};
_ctx.Things.Add(thing);
await _context.SaveChangesAsync();

await _blobService.Upload(data.File, $"{thing.Id}.jpg");
var thing = new Thing {
    Name = data.Name,
    Count = data.Count,
    Date = DateTime.Now
};
_ctx.Things.Add(thing);
await _context.SaveChangesAsync();

await _blobService.Upload(data.File, $"{thing.Id}.jpg");
