-Plus Section

If you wish to use the project with a persistent database, you will need to run its Entity Framework Core migrations before you will be able to run the app, and update the ConfigureDatabases method in Program.cs (see below).

public void ConfigureDatabases(IServiceCollection services)
{
            // add real database dependecy
            builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
                options.UseSqlServer(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
}

1. Ensure your connection strings in appsettings.json point to a local SQL Server instance.

2. Open a command prompt in the Web folder and execute the following commands:

dotnet restore
dotnet ef database update -c ApplicationDbContext

Or you can direct call ef commands from Visual Studio Package Manager Console. Open Package Manager Console, set default project to OnlineSellingStore.Data and run below command;

update-database

These commands will create aspnetrun database. You can see from ApplicationDbContext.cs.

1. Run the application. The first time you run the application, it will seed aspnetrun sql server database with a few data.

If you modify-change or add new some of entities to Core project, you should run ef migrate commands in order to update your database as the same way but below commands;

add-migration YourCustomEntityChanges
update-database
