Member email not a default property.

[harvzor]

I'm not sure if this is a problem with Umbraco or ModelsBuilder - I'm guessing it's Umbraco because the property is pretty weird.

The property name in the Umbraco office for a member email is _umb_email (visible when you hover over the default Email in Umbraco):

For some reason, to get the data for a member you have to use the alias Email.

But anyway, this property isn't enabled by default on a member so I have to add a property:

namespace Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels
{
    public partial class Member
    {
        ///<summary>
        /// Email
        ///</summary>
        [ImplementPropertyType("Email")]
        public string Email
        {
            get { return this.GetPropertyValue<string>("Email"); }
        }
    }
}

Is there anything that can be done about this in the ModelsBuilder?

@HarveyWilliams the reason why you need to use "Email" is because this specific alias is resolved to lookup the internal property value of the email field on members.
https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/5397f2c53acbdeb0805e1fe39fda938f571d295a/src/Umbraco.Web/PublishedCache/MemberPublishedContent.cs#L132-L138

However it would be nice if you could get the property value by using camelcase syntax like the default suggested property alias when adding a new property to a document, media or member type.

It would also be great if ModelsBuilder generated properties for the Membership properties like e.g. the "Email" property.

@zpqrtbnk is it possible that ModelsBuilder also can ensure to generate a property for Email?

At the moment I have to do something like this:

var memberShipHelper = new MembershipHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
var member = memberShipHelper.GetById(pickupId).OfType<ContentModels.ClickAndCollect>();

addressDetails.ShippingAddress.CompanyName = member.ApoName;
addressDetails.ShippingAddress.Line1 = member.Address;
addressDetails.ShippingAddress.Line2 = "";
addressDetails.ShippingAddress.PostalCode = member.Zip;
addressDetails.ShippingAddress.City = member.City;
addressDetails.ShippingAddress.PhoneNumber = member.Phone;
addressDetails.ShippingAddress.EmailAddress = member.GetPropertyValue<string>("Email");

where the the Email property needs to be uppercase E and is resolved to _umb_email in the internal code in core.

Maybe also a property for _umb_login, which is login/username.
