README

The Entity Framework Core MSBuild tasks integrate EF design-time tools into the build process. They're primarily used to generate the compiled model.

This package should be referenced by the project containing the derived DbContext.

Usage

Install the package into your project and if PublishAOT is true then just publish normally. Otherwise you can control code generation by the $(EFScaffoldModelStage) and $(EFPrecompileQueriesStage) properties, which can be set to either publish or build to control at what stage the code will be generated. Any other value will disable the corresponding generation.

If the startup project is different from the current project it needs to be specified: <EFStartupProject>..\Startup\Startup.csproj</EFStartupProject>

The startup project must also reference the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tasks package.
