I am absolutely new to asp.net core development. I am trying to create a simple asp.net core web api with a single model and mysql to store the model data and then I would want to retrieve it as REST API perhaps using Swagger.
My current set up looks like following:
Books.cs:
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using MySQL.Data.EntityFrameworkCore.Extensions;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace New_Api.Models
{
public class Book
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Author { get; set; }
public decimal Price { get; set; }
public DateTime CreatedOn { get; set; } = DateTime.UtcNow;
}
public class WebAPIDataContext : DbContext
{
public WebAPIDataContext(DbContextOptions<WebAPIDataContext> options)
: base(options)
{
}
public DbSet<Book> Books { get; set; }
}
}
Project.json:
{
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
"version": "1.0.1",
"type": "platform"
},
"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore": "1.0.0",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc": "1.0.1",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing": "1.0.1",

},

"Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools": "1.0.0-preview2-final"
},
"frameworks": {

"imports": [

"portable-net45+win8"
]
}
},
"buildOptions": {
"emitEntryPoint": true,
"preserveCompilationContext": true
},
"runtimeOptions": {
"configProperties": {
"System.GC.Server": true
}
},
"publishOptions": {
"include": [
"wwwroot",
"**/*.cshtml",
"appsettings.json",
"web.config"
]
},
"scripts": {
"postpublish": [ "dotnet publish-iis --publish-folder %publish:OutputPath% --framework %publish:FullTargetFramework%" ]
}
}
appsettings.json:
{
"ConnectionStrings": {
"SampleConnection": "server=localhost;userid=root;pwd=root;port=3306;database=asptest;sslmode=none;"
},
"Logging": {
"IncludeScopes": false,
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Debug",
"System": "Information",
"Microsoft": "Information"
}
}
}
And in my startup.cs:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Add framework services.
services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(Configuration);
services.AddDbContext<WebAPIDataContext>(options =>
{
options.UseMySQL("SampleConnection");
});
services.AddMvc();
}
After this much of set up, I restored all the packages and executed dotnet ef migrations add initial
which created Migrations folder (I guess it means it was successful). After that I executed dotnet ef database update
which is giving me error: Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0
What is goin wrong?
Change your ConfigureServices methode code with:
services.AddDbContext<WebAPIDataContext>(options =>
options.UseMySQL(Configuration.GetConnectionString("SampleConnection"))
);
Configuration.GetConnectionString("SampleConnection")
returns the connection string server=localhost;userid=root;pwd=root;port=3306;database=asptest;sslmode=none; you set in appsettings.json,options.UseMySQL("SampleConnection")
would try to interpret literaly SampleConnection as a connection string.
