Creating the Data Model

There are two approaches to creating the context and entity classes for your application. Using the Code-First Approach approach, you can fine-tune your model by writing the classes manually. Alternatively, you can use Reverse Engineering (Scaffolding) to generate these classes automatically from your REST schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

After EF Core is set up and the REST provider is registered, you can begin querying your data with LINQ:

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

RESTContext ents = new RESTContext();
var NorthwindODataQuery = from NorthwindOData in ents.NorthwindOData
                   orderby NorthwindOData.personal.name.last
                   select NorthwindOData;
