Use this skill when adding, removing, or reasoning about EF Core migrations in the Menu repository. The project layout requires specific flags that differ from the EF CLI defaults.
backend/MenuDB (contains MenuDbContext and the Migrations/ folder)backend/MenuApi (required for EF tool configuration)backend/), not from a project subfolder.cd backend
dotnet ef migrations add <MigrationName> --project MenuDB --startup-project MenuApi
<MigrationName> should be PascalCase and describe the schema change, e.g. AddRecipeIngredientsTable.
cd backend
dotnet ef migrations remove --project MenuDB --startup-project MenuApi
Only remove a migration that has not been applied to any environment. If the migration is already in the database, revert it first with a new migration.
cd backend
dotnet ef migrations list --project MenuDB --startup-project MenuApi
Menu.MigrationService is a BackgroundService that applies all pending EF migrations on startup and then exits. MenuApi is configured with WaitForCompletion on Menu.MigrationService, so the API never starts before migrations complete.
Do not run dotnet ef database update against a shared or production database. Let Menu.MigrationService manage migration application at runtime.
Entity mappings live in backend/MenuDB/Data/. Column constraints (max length, required, etc.) are configured inside MenuDbContext.OnModelCreating. After adding a migration, always inspect the generated migration file to confirm the SQL it will execute matches your intent before committing.
After adding a migration, build the solution to confirm there are no EF model snapshot conflicts:
cd backend
dotnet restore MenuApi.sln
dotnet build MenuApi.sln --configuration Release --no-restore
