.NET Core CLI tool to enable EF6 migrations in an Asp.Net Core app (RC2 and onwards).

## Looking for .net core 3 support?

Check [this comment](https://github.com/mrahhal/Migrator.EF6/issues/67#issuecomment-681712044). This tool is now invalid for .net core 3.0 projects and above. You'll want to use the [official ef6.exe](https://github.com/dotnet/ef6/tree/master/src/ef6) instead.

## Looking for the project.json version?
Checkout the [preview2](https://github.com/mrahhal/Migrator.EF6/tree/preview2) tree version of this repository.

## Getting EF6 migrations to work

You can read the release notes at the end of this file.

**IMPORTANT**: it's highly recommended that you put your models and migrations in a pure class library project that has no dependnecies on anything aspnetcore related. Apart from being a better design, there's actually a current problem that prevents the tool from working with projects that depend on aspnetcore. And the new tooling in v0.1 fully supports that. For more info check [this issue](https://github.com/mrahhal/Migrator.EF6/issues/37#issuecomment-286384922).

---

Steps:

- Inside your csproj:

```xml
<PackageReference Include="Migrator.EF6.Tools" Version="2.1.0" PrivateAssets="All" />

<DotNetCliToolReference Include="Migrator.EF6.Tools" Version="2.1.0" />
```

> Note: If you're on 1.0 of dotnet sdk, you might want to use version "1.1.x".

- Inside `Startup.cs`:
    - Remove everything EF Core related.
    - Simply add your db context to services:
    ```c#
    services.AddScoped<ApplicationDbContext>();
    ```
- Replace all `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFramework` usings with `MR.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework6` if you're using Identity 3.0 (check out the section below).
- Remove the "Migrations" or the "Data/Migrations" folder that EF Core generated.
- Finally:

```
    dotnet ef6 migrations enable
    dotnet ef6 migrations add InitialCreate
    dotnet ef6 database update
    ```

The tool will automatically build your project but if something goes wrong make sure to build manually with `dotnet build`.

As a final note, make sure your db context looks like this:
```c#
public class ApplicationDbContext : DbContext // Or IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser> if you're using Identity
{
    public static string ConnectionString { get; set; } = "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=aspnet5-Web1-8443284d-add8-41f4-acd8-96cae03e401d;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true";

public ApplicationDbContext() : base(ConnectionString)
    {
    }

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
    }
}
```

And in `Startup.cs`, in `Configure`:

```c#
Database.SetInitializer(new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<ApplicationDbContext, Web1.Migrations.Configuration>());
ApplicationDbContext.ConnectionString = Configuration["ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection"];
```

This is really important for the following reasons (not really necessary to read):
EF6 migrations implementation can read the connection string from `web.config` and that's why in an Asp.Net < 5 app we were able to just specify the connection's name and EF6 would fetch that. In EF Core, migrations know about dependency injection and can instantiate a `DbContext` correctly, EF6 just activates the default ctor so we have to provide the connection string there.

## More commands
These commands do not exist in the normal migrator:

#### `database update ~[number of migrations to revert]`:
Reverts a number of migrations. `database update ~` will revert one migration, and `database update ~2` will revert 2 migrations.

#### `database truncate`:
Truncates all tables in the database. This is basically 'database update 0'.

#### `database recreate`:
Truncates all tables then updates the database to the latest migration. This is basically a drop then update. Really helpful in development if you find yourself always dropping the database from SQL Server Object Explorer and then reapplying migrations.

## If you're working with Identity 3.0

Check out [MR.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework6](https://github.com/mrahhal/MR.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework6). It enables you to use Identity 3.0 with EF6 (by using an EF6 provider for Identity instead of the EF Core one).

## Samples
Samples are in the `samples/` directory. Watch out for `MNOTE:` occurrences for notes.

#### [`BasicConsoleApp`](samples/BasicConsoleApp)
A basic sample that shows how to add `Migrator.EF6.Tools` to your `project.json`.

#### [`WithIdentity`](samples/WithIdentity)
A sample using `Migrator.EF6` and [`MR.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework6`](https://github.com/mrahhal/MR.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework6) to enable EF6 + migrations + Identity 3.0 in your Asp.Net Core app.
