Public Function AddDbContextFactory(Of TContext As DbContext, TFactory As DbContext) (serviceCollection As IServiceCollection, optionsAction As Action(Of IServiceProvider, DbContextOptionsBuilder), Optional lifetime As ServiceLifetime = Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ServiceLifetime.Singleton) As IServiceCollectionType Parameters
- TContext
The type of DbContext to be created by the factory.
- TFactory
The type of IDbContextFactory<TContext> to register.
Parameters
- serviceCollection
- IServiceCollection
The IServiceCollection to add services to.
- optionsAction
- Action<IServiceProvider,DbContextOptionsBuilder>
An optional action to configure the DbContextOptions for the context. This provides an alternative to performing configuration of the context by overriding the OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder) method in your derived context.
If an action is supplied here, the OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder) method will still be run if it has been overridden on the derived context. OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder) configuration will be applied in addition to configuration performed here.
In order for the options to be passed into your context, you need to expose a constructor on your context that takes DbContextOptions<TContext> and passes it to the base constructor of DbContext.
- lifetime
- ServiceLifetime
The lifetime with which to register the factory and options. The default is Singleton
Returns
The same service collection so that multiple calls can be chained.
Remarks
Registering a factory instead of registering the context type directly allows for easy creation of new DbContext instances. Registering a factory is recommended for Blazor applications and other situations where the dependency injection scope is not aligned with the context lifetime.
Use this method when using dependency injection in your application, such as with Blazor. For applications that don't use dependency injection, consider creating DbContext instances directly with its constructor. The OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder) method can then be overridden to configure a connection string and other options.
For convenience, this method also registers the context type itself as a scoped service. This allows a context instance to be resolved from a dependency injection scope directly or created by the factory, as appropriate.
This overload allows a specific implementation of IDbContextFactory<TContext> to be registered instead of using the default factory shipped with EF Core.
This overload has an optionsAction that provides the application's IServiceProvider. This is useful if you want to setup Entity Framework Core to resolve its internal services from the primary application service provider. By default, we recommend using AddDbContextFactory<TContext>(IServiceCollection, Action<DbContextOptionsBuilder>, ServiceLifetime) which allows Entity Framework to create and maintain its own IServiceProvider for internal Entity Framework services.
Entity Framework Core does not support multiple parallel operations being run on the same DbContext instance. This includes both parallel execution of async queries and any explicit concurrent use from multiple threads. Therefore, always await async calls immediately, or use separate DbContext instances for operations that execute in parallel. See Avoiding DbContext threading issues for more information and examples.
