# EntityFrameworkApi

> Represents an API over a DbContext.

## Definition

**Assembly:** Microsoft.Restier.EntityFramework.dll

**Namespace:** Microsoft.Restier.EntityFramework

**Inheritance:** Microsoft.Restier.Core.ApiBase

## Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
Microsoft.Restier.EntityFramework.EntityFrameworkApi<T>
```

## Summary

Represents an API over a DbContext.

## Remarks

This class tries to instantiate *T* with the best matched constructor
base on services configured. Descendants could override by registering *T*
as a scoped service. But in this case, proxy creation must be disabled in the constructors of
*T* under Entity Framework 6.

## Type Parameters

* `T` - The DbContext type.
