EF Core Power Tools CLI

Cross platform command line tool for advanced EF Core reverse engineering. See the full guide explaining all the features here.

Getting started

The tool runs on any computer with the .NET 6.0 runtime installed.

Install the tool

For EF Core 7:

dotnet tool install ErikEJ.EFCorePowerTools.Cli -g --version 7.0.0-*

For EF Core 6:

dotnet tool install ErikEJ.EFCorePowerTools.Cli -g --version 6.0.0-*

Run the tool

From the folder where you want the code to be generated (usually where your .NET project is located)

efcpt "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Northwind;User id=user;Pwd=secret123;Encrypt=false" mssql

Configure options

A configuration file efcpt-config.json is created in the output folder, and you can open this file in your editor to modify the default options. If your editor supports it (for example VS Code), it will provide syntax guidance for the file.
