Working with SQL views in Entity Framework Core

Question

For example, I have such model:

public class Blog
{
    public int BlogId { get; set; }
    public string Url { get; set; }

    public BlogImage BlogImage {         


        

Answer 1

QueryTypes is the canonical answer as of EF Core 2.1, but there is another way I have used when migrating from a database first approach (the view is already created in the database):

• define the model to match view columns (either match model class name to view name or use Table attribute. Ensure [Key] attribute is applied to at least one column, otherwise data fetch will fail
• add DbSet in your context
• add migration (Add-Migration)
• remove or comment out code for creation/drop of the "table" to be created/dropped based on provided model
• update database (Update-Database)
