BI Dashboard for ASP.NET Core - Resolve Entity Framework Core Context from the DI Container

The following example obtains Entity Framework Core context from an ASP.NET Core dependency injection container.

1. Implement the IEFContextProvider interface (CustomEFContextProvider class in this example) to create a service that allows you to get the EF Core Context.

2. Call the IEFContextProvider.GetContext(String, Type) method to return a context for the specified data source.

3. Call the AddDbContext method to register the context in the dependency injection container and specify the required connection string in the WebApplicationBuilder class.

4. In the WebApplicationBuilder class, register the DashboardConfigurator service and configure it using the SetEFContextProvider(IEFContextProvider) method.
