How to Use
To use Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore, follow these steps:
Installation
dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore
Configuration
Add the following code to the Program.cs of your ASP.NET Core app:
builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
builder.Services.AddDefaultIdentity<ApplicationUser>()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>();
You can replace ApplicationDbContext with your own database context class derived from IdentityDbContext and ApplicationUser with your own user class containing additional properties derived from IdentityUser.
Make sure to configure the connection string via "ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection" (or whatever you rename it to) so it can connect to your database.
