EF Core Setup

Tip

If you are new to Entity Framework Core (EF Core), check out Microsoft's guide.

Introduction

CannoliKit uses EF Core to support its various features. It can also be useful to your project, allowing you to store and query information from a database.

Any project that uses CannoliKit must define a derived DbContext that implements ICannoliDbContext.

Example

Suppose your bot will let Discord users play games and keep track of scores. Your derived DbContext might look like this:

public class GameNightDbContext : DbContext, ICannoliDbContext
{
    // These two DbSets are required by ICannoliDbContext and are used by CannoliKit.
    public DbSet<CannoliSaveState> CannoliSaveStates { get; set; } = null!;
    public DbSet<CannoliRoute> CannoliRoutes { get; set; } = null!;

    // These DbSets are used by your new bot idea, Game Night.
    public DbSet<Game> Games { get; set; } = null!;
    public DbSet<Player> Players { get; set; } = null!;
    public DbSet<Score> Scores { get; set; } = null!;
}
