Asp.net core code first database migrations

Question

How do we use data migrations in asp.net core? I'v tried looking through the asp.net core documentation but couldn't find anything.

This was the code for asp.net 4:

internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<ApplicationDbContext>
{
    public Configuration()
    {
        AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true;
    }

    protected override void Seed(ApplicationDbContext context)
    {
        base.Seed(context);

        //Add stuff to database

        context.SaveChanges();
    }
}

What is the equivalent in asp.net core?

read: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/data/entity-framework-6.html, and https://docs.efproject.net/en/latest/platforms/aspnetcore/ it may help. — M.Hassan, Jul 20 '16 at 21:58

If you're using EF core: https://docs.efproject.net/en/latest/miscellaneous/cli/dotnet.html

If you're using EF 6.x, you may need a community one: https://github.com/mrahhal/Migrator.EF6

Are you saying `Database.SetInitializer()` etc can't be used at all in EF Core? – MEMark Oct 26 '16 at 07:38
