Question
Getting exposed to dotnet Core. In a sample test application trying to setup EntityFramework.Core in dotnet core app. While I was able to add the EntityFramework.Core NugGet package I can't find the 'Add'->'New Item'->'Data'->'ADO.NET Entity Data Model'
Is this not possible with EntityFramework.Core?
How does EntityFramework.Core differ from EntityFramework 7?
Accepted Answer
There is no edmx support in Entity Framework Core. It only supports a code-first approach. The option to add a new Entity Data Model will be added, but it will produce entity class files instead of an edmx file. The tooling development is a little bit behind the framework development currently.

Still no EDMX support yet for .Net core. To generate the dbcontext and entities from database, run below command in package manager console:
Scaffold-DbContext "Server=yourserver;Database=yourdatabase;Trusted_Connection=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models
You will need these packages:
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer.Design
