Summary

This project contains two simple modifications to .NET Entity Framework Core's default templates for generating DbContexts and EntityTypes. These changes are to do the following:

• Provide the entity-specific configuration in a new class per entity, which takes the name <EntityType>Configuration
• Automatically call all of these entity-specific configurations in the OnConfiguring method for the DbContext rather this configuration being found here

Usage

In order to use these templates you first need to install the templates package for EF Core in your project:

dotnet new install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Templates

After this, you can copy the two t4 files from this project into your CodeTemplates/EFCore folder in the root of your project. If you are unsure of where these should be placed, you can generate the default versions from EF Core and then overwrite them with these versions. To do this, run the command:

dotnet new ef-templates

Once the templates are in place, you can scaffold your files as you usaually would with EF Core. For example, to scaffold a new DbContext and EntityTypes for a database called MyDatabase on localhost using the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer database provider, you could run the command:

dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold "Server=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;TrustServerCertificate=True" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
