Building and updating Local Database

We are using SQL LocalDb for the database for the project, which means you'll need to check the connection string in the appsettings.json file and confirm that it will work on your machine before running the application.

Be sure to install the EF Core Tools

Using NuGet's Package Manager Console, run the following command:

PowerShell

Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools

If everything worked correctly, you should be able to run this command:

PowerShell

Get-Help about_EntityFrameworkCore

Update the Database

Update-Database

Tips

  • You can check in the SQL Server Object Explorer in Visual Studio to see your localdb.
  • The migration will pull the connection string from the appsettings.json file that gets copied on build.
  • The easiest place to run the EF Core Tools is in the Package Manager Console. Find it in Visual Studio under Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console.

Adding a new migration

In order to update the schema you'll need to add a new migration using EF Core migrations.
