The project should be database independent

[kedare]

Hello.

I wanted to test this generator for .NET core but apparently it's quite hard to use is without SQL Server, event after changing the connection string and adapting the Startup.cs, there are references of SQL Server specifics features in the migrations.

I think it could be interesting to make the boilerplate independent from any database.

Thanks

Try the following:

yo react-aspnet-boilerplate:empty-template

That one does not use a database (or at least doesn't appear to).

To use a different Entity Framework provider do the following:
project.json

//"Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer": "1.1.0",
    "Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL": "1.1.0",

Startup.cs

// Add framework services.
// services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
//      options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
        options.UseNpgsql(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

Migrations folder
delete all files, then run in terminal/command prompt
dotnet ef migrations add initial
dotnet ef database update
