Answer 1

For someone who is trying all these solution but not working try this one, it worked for me

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
{

    builder.Entity<User>().Property(t => t.Email).HasColumnAnnotation("Index", new IndexAnnotation(new IndexAttribute("IX_EmailIndex") { IsUnique = true }));

}

Answer 2

The OP is asking about whether it is possible to add an Attribute to an Entity class for a Unique Key. The short answer is that it IS possible, but not an out-of-the-box feature from the EF Core Team. If you'd like to use an Attribute to add Unique Keys to your Entity Framework Core entity classes, you can do what I've posted here

public class Company
{
    [Required]
    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public Guid CompanyId { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [UniqueKey(groupId: "1", order: 0)]
    [StringLength(100, MinimumLength = 1)]
    public string CompanyName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [UniqueKey(groupId: "1", order: 1)]
    [StringLength(100, MinimumLength = 1)]
    public string CompanyLocation { get; set; }
}

Answer 3

To use it in EF core via model configuration

public class ApplicationCompanyConfiguration : IEntityTypeConfiguration<Company>
{
    public void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder<Company> builder)
    {
        builder.ToTable("Company"); 
        builder.HasIndex(p => p.Name).IsUnique();
    }
}
