Entity Framework Core with Existing Database

Scaffold-DbContext Command
说明
Use Scaffold-DbContext to create a model based on your existing database.
The following parameters can be specified with Scaffold-DbContext in Package Manager Console:
Scaffold-DbContext [-Connection] [-Provider] [-OutputDir] [-Context] [-Schemas>] [-Tables>]
[-DataAnnotations] [-Force] [-Project] [-StartupProject] [<CommonParameters>]
In Visual Studio, select menu Tools -> NuGet Package Manger -> Package Manger Console and run the following command:
Scaffold-DbContext
PM> Scaffold-DbContext "Server=.\SQLExpress;Database=SchoolDB;Trusted_Connection=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models
参数说明：
In the above command, the first parameter is a connection string which includes three parts: DB Server, database name and security info. Here, Server=.\SQLExpress; refers to local SQLEXPRESS database server. Database=SchoolDB; specifies the database name "SchoolDB" for which we are going to create classes. Trusted_Connection=True; specifies the Windows authentication. It will use Windows credentials to connect to the SQL Server.
The second parameter is the provider name. We use provider for the SQL Server, so it is Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer.
The -OutputDir parameter specifies the directory where we want to generate all the classes which is the Models folder in this case.
Use the following command to get the detailed help on Scaffold-DbContext command:
PM> get-help scaffold-dbcontext --detailed
生成的entity和数据库上下文
The above Scaffold-DbContext command creates entity classes for each table in the SchoolDB database and context class (by deriving DbContext) with Fluent API configurations for all the entities in the Models folder.
The following is the generated Student entity class for the Student table.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace EFCoreTutorials.Models
{
public partial class Student
{
public Student()
{
StudentCourse = new HashSet<StudentCourse>();
}
public int StudentId { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public int? StandardId { get; set; }
public Standard Standard { get; set; }
public StudentAddress StudentAddress { get; set; }
public ICollection<StudentCourse> StudentCourse { get; set; }
}
}
The following is the SchoolDBContext class which you can use to save or retrieve data.
using System;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata;
namespace EFCoreTutorials.Models
{
public partial class SchoolDBContext : DbContext
{
public virtual DbSet<Course> Course { get; set; }
public virtual DbSet<Standard> Standard { get; set; }
public virtual DbSet<Student> Student { get; set; }
public virtual DbSet<StudentAddress> StudentAddress { get; set; }
public virtual DbSet<StudentCourse> StudentCourse { get; set; }
public virtual DbSet<Teacher> Teacher { get; set; }

DotNet CLI
If you use dotnet command line interface to execute EF Core commands then open command prompt and navigate to the root folder and execute the following dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold command:
dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold "Server=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=SchoolDB;Trusted_Connection=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -o Models
Thus, you can create EF Core model for an existing database.
