Is there a way to ensure db migrations in entity framework core?

Question

Is there a way similar to Database.EncureCreated() method to ensure all migrations were executed from the app?

[db.Database.Migrate();](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.entityframeworkcore.relationaldatabasefacadeextensions.migrate?view=efcore-3.1#Microsoft_EntityFrameworkCore_RelationalDatabaseFacadeExtensions_Migrate_Microsoft_EntityFrameworkCore_Infrastructure_DatabaseFacade_) ? — Panagiotis Kanavos, Sep 30 '20 at 11:24

Check the following link to use the `context.Database.Migrate()` or `context.Database.EnsureCreated()` method: [auto create database in Entity Framework Core](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42355481/auto-create-database-in-entity-framework-core) and [EF Core Seeding](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/implementing-seeding-custom-conventions-and-interceptors-in-ef-core-1-0/). — Zhi Lv, Oct 01 '20 at 06:01

You can use Database.Migrate() - REF

From the article:

Applies any pending migrations for the context to the database. Will create the database if it does not already exist.

Note that Database.Migrate() is mutually exclusive with Database.EnsureCreated()
