Missing documentation
Describe the issue
I've recently hit a couple of issues when using the new Umbraco EF Core setup for managing custom data.
I wanted to make a PR to note some of the challenges and solutions I've found, but after starting I realized that there isn't any actual pages for it.
Currently all mentions of EF Core are in a tutorial - which is fine for what it is, but I don't think it makes sense in a tutorial to start talking about setting connection strings for cross environment deployments and how to manage your EF Core entities when they are in a seperate project to the website project, for things like that it should probably have a reference section somewhere?
In short - I am happy to contribute some documentation but unsure where 🙂

@jemayn thanks for raising this issue!
I think it makes total sense to add documentation other than a tutorial for EF core in Umbraco :-)
I think it could be in the extending section maybe? 🤔
As the EF Core is used for creating custom databases for your projects, so you are in a way extending your project when using it 🙂
Let me know what you think 😄

Hi @jemayn 👋
Can you help me verify whether this issue is still relevant?

It is, the "right way" of doing it in Core post v12 I think is really convuluted. Been waiting on umbraco/Umbraco-CMS#15186 before wrapping up my PR but it seems to be somewhat stuck.
