ASP.NET Web API 2 local MySQL code first

Question

I have done simple Web API project using SQL server database with code first approach, see here . But I am not getting any helpful complete tutorial which explains how to create Web API using code first approach with MySQL as database. Could you please give me some sample example.

Answer 1

There isn't much difference since both are relational databases. You need to install the corresponding nuget ( Install-Package MySql.Data.Entity ), update connection string and you should be good to go
