Migrations UI

[bricelam]

@rowanmiller put together some nice slides on this a while back...

[ErikEJ]

@bricelam Maybe something to consider for EF Core Power Tools - are you able to share the slides (privately, even) ?

[bricelam]

We never found them, but it looked something like this:

I seem to remember a few different actions:

• Apply migrations if any aren't applied (shown above)
• Add a migration if there are pending model changes. Needs a way to specify the migration name too.
• Everything is up-to-date. (May need a unicorn picture here. 😉)

@bricelam I found the deck with that the mock up was in - I emailed it to you.

[ErikEJ]

I understand that I can use the following APIs for this: Check for any pending migrations: context.Database.GetPendingMigrations Apply migrations: context.Database.Migrate

But how do I check for pending model changes??

[bricelam]

This code does it.

Excellent - WIP on the EF Core Power Tools side: https://github.com/ErikEJ/SqlCeToolbox/commit/8e9a636b9b020fdcb1dd52a349346b7152c13289

Closing. We'll use ErikEJ/SqlCeToolbox#649 to track the feature.
