I work with Asp.Net Core WebApi project.
Can I add my tables to IdentityDbContext, like this:
public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<User>
{
public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options)
: base(options)
{ }
public DbSet<ProgrammerRole> ProgrammerRoles { get; set; }
public DbSet<Project> Projects { get; set; }
public DbSet<SubProject> SubProjects { get; set; }
public DbSet<Report> Reports { get; set; }
}
Or do I need to create a second DbContext. And if i create a second DbContext
how can I communicate wiht User in IdentityDbContext.
And my second question:
If i add data in IdentityDbContext, like above, How do I get the data from my tables in ApplicationDbContext?
Because i need to pass DbContextOptions object every time I create a new instance оf ApplicationDbContext. I do this in Startup.cs:
// ===== Add DbContext ========
var connectionString = Configuration.GetConnectionString("DbConnection");
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(connectionString));
I saw in older version of Asp.Net Core, that i can pass Connection String in IdentityDbContext constructor, but now only DbContextOptions.
And i can't do, for example this:
[AllowAnonymous]
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<Project> GetRoles()
{
using (var db = new ApplicationDbContext())
{
return db.Projects;
}
}
Best Answer
Yes, it is how you create custom tables. You do not need to create another
DbContext
. E.g.Note: you might need to run
dotnet ef migrations add Initial
anddotnet ef database update
for database migration.You should not create or manage
ApplicationDbContext
inside controller. If you do so, they become tightly coupled, and you cannot implement unit tests.Instead, you let dependency inversion (DI) container manage it for you. E.g.
