The [earliest piece of code]() I ever wrote was about replicating a [computer boot up sequence]() from the video game [SOMA](). I developed it in 2015, solid 3 years before my first proper introduction to software development. + +Five years later, in early 2020, I had to make a project for an exam. I (initially) had about a month to complete it and the only requirements were technical: utilize a database with at least x tables, employ a specific design pattern, etc. Fairly quickly I decided upon making a "minecraftian" game: 2D sandbox where you could fight, craft, build, eat and explore. + +I called it [Mundus]() and it took me around 3 months to complete and consisted of more than 2000 lines of code. Although these metrics aren't very impressive in the real world, they were a monumental achievement for me. In the beginning I planned on developing it into a fully fledged game, but that never happened. + +Nevertheless, this journey was very important to me, hence writing this multi-page article. + +**Link to the source code**: [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/Syndamia/Mundus) + +## Contents +

[DBContext child class](#DBContext%20child%20class) + +## NuGet packages +[![🔗](/img/link-tabler.svg)](#NuGet%20packages) + +You'll need to install [Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql/). It provides the stuff necessary for connecting and using a `MySql` database. + +## Connection string +[![🔗](/img/link-tabler.svg)](#Connection%20string) + +There are [a lot](https://www.connectionstrings.com/mysql/) of ways to setup the connection string but I've found that this one works the best: + +``` +"server=localhost; port=YOUR-PORT; user id=YOUR-USER-ID; password=YOUR-PASSWORD; database=NAME-OF-DATABASE; SslMode=none" +``` + +If you are using `MySQL Workbench` and you don't know your port and id, you can look at the server information from the `MySQL Connections` page. + +![MyServer root 127.0.0.1:3306](./img/connections.png) In this example, the user id is _root_ and the port is _3306_. + +## Connecting +[![🔗](/img/link-tabler.svg)](#Connecting) + +To connect, you'll need to call the `UseMySql` method, either in [ASP.NET Startup](#ASP.NET%20Startup) or in a [DBContext child class](#DBContext%20child%20class). + +The method requires at least two arguments: connection string and `MySql` server version. The latter you can find, by going to the `Help/About Workbench` window inside `MySQL Workbench`. + +![](./img/about-workbench.png) +![](./img/workbench-version.png) + +For the server version argument, create a new object of type `MySqlServerVersion` and give it's constructor a new object of type `Version`, to which you give the version numbers. The result should look something like this: + +

.UseMySql(CONNECTION_STRING, new MySqlServerVersion(new System.Version(8, 0, 21)))
+

+ +Where `CONNECTION_STRING` is a (constant) variable that contains your connection string, and 8, 0, 21 are the version numbers. + +### ASP.NET Startup +[![🔗](/img/link-tabler.svg)](#ASP.NET%20Startup) + +For `ASP.NET` applications, the connection must be put inside the `ConfigureServices` method of the `Startup.cs` file. If you already have a `.UseSQL` method call in there, just replace it with your `.UseMySql` method and arguments. + +The result should look something along the lines of: + +

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
+public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
+{   
+    ...
+    services.AddDbContext<AppDbContext>(opt =>
+    {
+        opt.UseMySql(...);
+    });
+}

+ +### DBContext child class +[![🔗](/img/link-tabler.svg)](#DBContext%20child%20class) + +Another way to connect is via a `DBContext` child class (so, inside your own DB context). Just, override the `OnConfiguring` method and call the `.UseMySql` method from the `optionsBuilder` parameter. + +

protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
+{
+    optionsBuilder.UseMySql(...);
+}
