How to Specify Entity Framework Core Table Mapping?

Question

I've made a simple Entity Framework ASP Core Application that works but I do not know why:

I've made a context like this:

public class AstootContext : DbContext
{
    public AstootContext(DbContextOptions<AstootContext> options)
        : base(options)
    { }

    public DbSet<Account> Accounts { get; set; }
    public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }
}

And I have two tables with models like this:

public class Account
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Username { get; set; }
    public string PasswordHash { get; set; }
    public DateTime Created { get; set; }

    List<User> Users { get; set; }
}

public class User
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public DateTime Birthday { get; set; }
    public Account Account { get; set; }
}

The interesting thing is that when I run my application it actually can pick up the data. It just seems weird because I have not specified any table mapping. I'm assuming this just automaps because the specified tables are the same name.

My questions are:

1. How do I specify Table explicit table mapping in case I do not want my model names to be exactly the same as the DB?

2. How do I specify Custom Column Mapping.

3. Is there anything special I have to specify for Primary/Foreign Keys

edit

To clarify

1. Say I had a table in the DB MyAccounts and I wanted to map that to an entity Accounts .

2. Say I had a column password and I wanted that to map to a POCO property PasswordHash

1. To specify the name of the database table, you can use an attribute or the fluent API:

   Using Attributes:

    [Table("MyAccountsTable")] public class Account { public string PasswordHash { get; set; } }

   Using Fluent API:

    public class YourContext : DbContext { protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder) { builder.Entity<Language>(entity => { entity.ToTable("MyAccountsTable"); }); } }

2. To name your columns manually, it's very similar and you can use an attribute or the fluent API:

   Using Attributes:

    public class Account { [Column("MyPasswordHashColumn")] public string PasswordHash { get; set; } }

   Using Fluent API:

    public class YourContext : DbContext { protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder) { builder.Entity<Language>(x => x .ToTable("MyAccountsTable") .Property(entity => entity.PasswordHash) .HasField("MyPasswordHashColumn") ); } }
