Upgrading to .NET Core 3.1: Replacement for UserManager.NormalizeKey method?

Question

I'm updating an ASP.NET Core project from 2.2 to 3.1. I've sorted out everything else using the migration docs, but it looks like UserManager<TUser>.NormalizeKey(String) has just disappeared after v2.2, and I can't find any migration docs around it.

From what I can tell it does not seem necessary to use. But I'm not sure and we have it sprinkled around everywhere.

For posterity, the error is: The name 'NormalizeKey' does not exist in the current context

My code is something like:

public virtual async Task<IdentityResult> AddToRequestedRoleAsync(ApplicationUser user, string role)
{
  if (user == null) {
    throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(user));
  }

  var normalizedRole = NormalizeKey(role);
}

Answer 1

In later versions of .NET Core, NormalizeKey has been replaced by NormalizeEmail and NormalizeName.

You may not need to normalize, since FindByEmailAsync will normalize the parameter for you.
