using System.Data.Entity.Migrations;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore; //added
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders; //added

public static class Extensions
{
    //unchanged from alberto answer
    public static string GetEnumDescription(this TEnum item)
        => item.GetType()
               .GetField(item.ToString())
               .GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false)
               .Cast()
               .FirstOrDefault()?.Description ?? string.Empty;

    //changed
    public static void SeedEnumValues(this ModelBuilder mb, Func converter)
    where T : class => Enum.GetValues(typeof(TEnum))
                           .Cast
