Allow access to custom membership properties via the MemberIdentityUser

[emmagarland]

Task

Currently in v9, you need to use the member service if you need to get and set custom member property type values.

We want to be able to access and update custom member property values directly from the MemberIdentityUser.

This task is to make it so that end users do not have to use IMemberService to retrieve/update custom member properties.

Implementation suggestion

This was possible within Shannon Deminick's UmbracoIdentity package via the MemberProperties property in the UmbracoIdentityMember class.

• Add a MemberProperties property to the v9 MemberIdentityUser object to allow people to access the required CRUD functions on these member properties directly without needing to hit the MemberService separately.
• Ensure that the user.MemberProperties property is affected when a member is created/updated/deleted in the Member user store class, via the MemberService
• When a MemberIdentityUser is retrieved from the MemberUserStore, we should also return the custom member properties from the member service (perhaps via some sort of member mapping method), returning them as part of the MemberIdentityUser object

Current status in v9

• In v9 MemberUserStore there is an UpdateMemberProperties method, but it can't persist the updated properties to the member identity object because there are no custom member properties on that identity class.
• There is no method to map the custom member properties during a GET either

Other areas to consider

• In v9 there is code in the MemberController.cs that updates the member custom properties via the member service. This may need tweaking/removing as part of this task.
• Update the TODOs around enabling this in the current v9 code, such as MemberIdentityUser.cs, UmbRegisterController and ProfileModelBuilder.

Notes

• No database changes should be needed
• We are not looking at adding properties as claims here, rather enabling CRUD functions on the custom Umbraco content properties added to a member object
