Ploch.Data.EFCore

Core EF Core utilities for the Ploch.Data libraries -- design-time DbContext factory base classes, configurators, data seeding, and value converters.

Key Features

  • BaseDbContextFactory<TDbContext, TFactory> -- abstract base for design-time factories with automatic migrations assembly configuration
  • IDbContextConfigurator -- abstraction for runtime DbContext configuration (used in DI and integration tests)
  • ConnectionString -- helper to read connection strings from appsettings.json
  • DataSeeder -- utilities for seeding data into the database
  • CollectionStringSplitConverter -- EF Core value converter for storing string collections as delimited strings

Installation

<PackageReference Include="Ploch.Data.EFCore" />

For most applications, use one of the provider-specific packages instead:

  • Ploch.Data.EFCore.SqLite
  • Ploch.Data.EFCore.SqlServer

Quick Start

using Ploch.Data.EFCore;

// Create a design-time factory by inheriting from a provider-specific base
public class MyDbContextFactory : BaseDbContextFactory<MyDbContext, MyDbContextFactory>
{
    public MyDbContextFactory() : base(options => new MyDbContext(options)) { }

    protected override DbContextOptionsBuilder<MyDbContext> ConfigureOptions(
        Func<string> connectionStringFunc,
        DbContextOptionsBuilder<MyDbContext> optionsBuilder)
    {
        return optionsBuilder.UseSqlite(
            connectionStringFunc(), ApplyMigrationsAssembly);
    }
}
