EFCore.Postgres

This is a simple and small package for making it easier to integrate EntityFramework with Postgres into your application

The package includes an extension method for Autofac for easy Dependency Injection

How to use

To register the database include the following in your ConfigureContainer method in Startup.cs

var config = _configuration.GetSection("Postgres").Get<DatabaseSettings>();

builder.UsePostgres<MyDbContext>(config);

Be sure to setup your environment variables, these are the avilable ones

        public string Hostname { get; set; }
        public string Username { get; set; }
        public string Password { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public bool DisableSSL { get; set; }
        public int Port { get; set; } = 5432;
        public bool TrustServerCertificate { get; set; } = false;

Create your DBContext

public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
    public MyDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyDbContext> options) : base(options)
    {

    }

    public DbSet<MyEntity> MyEntity { get; set; }
}

To make migrations work, create a class with the following content

public class ContextFactory : DesignTimeDbContextFactory<MyDbContext>.Postgres
{
}

And then include this somewhere in your startup code e.g in Startup.cs Configure method

myDbContext.Database.Migrate();
