ASP - Core Migrate EF Core SQL DB on Startup

Question

Is it possible to have my ASP Core Web API ensure the DB is migrated to the latest migration using EF Core? I know this can be done through the command line, but I want to

Answer 1

Based on the answer of @steamrolla I would propose the following improvement:

public static class EnsureMigration
{
    public static void EnsureMigrationOfContext(this IApplicationBuilder app) where T:DbContext
    {
        var context = app.ApplicationServices.GetService();
        context.Database.Migrate();
    }
}

With this you can also ensure the migration of different contexts, e.g. if you have a Identity database.

Usage:

app.EnsureMigrationOfContext();
