My Context does not inherit from DbContext in Entity Framework Core

问题

I am trying to keep BooksContext.cs file in a folder called Contexts.

I have a single Book class inside Entities folder. Hence, below is the code in BookContext.cs file.

I have used the following command at Package Manager Console to enable migrations.

PM>Enable-Migrations -ContextTypeName Books.API.Contexts.BooksContext

But, I'm getting below error: The type BooksContext does not inherit from DbContext. The DbMigrationsConfiguration.ContextType property must be set to a type that inherits from DbContext.

Following the error, I am not sure where and how to set DbMigrationsConfiguration.ContextType property

I couldn't get much help from google, and I am not sure what I am missing. Can anyone please help me!

namespace Books.API.Contexts
{
    public class BooksContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<Book> Books { get; set; }

        public BooksContext(DbContextOptions<BooksContext> options)
            : base(options)
        {

Small mistake, but good learning for me after spending more than one day painful effort. I hope this will be the good learning for others too.

I have added two NuGet packages of: EntityFramework, and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore which is my mistake.

Just adding NuGet package for Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore will do all the required work.
