How do you reverse engineer a database in EF Core (DB First) into entity classes & DbContext?
Use the CLI or Package Manager Console:
dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold "YourConnectionString"
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -o Models
OR
Scaffold-DbContext "YourConnectionString"
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models
✅ It generates:
- Entity classes
- DbContext class
- Mappings based on database schema
