Is it possible to use Entity Framework Core 6 with MongoDb? [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to use EF Core 6 in combination with a MongoDb? From what I'v gathered online, I could only find answers from a few years ago that say that it's still not possible, but nothing that was published recently. There is also better support for the Azure Cosmos Db which is also a NoSql database, so maybe I could use that to communicate with a MongoDb?

If it's still not possible, what other approach should I use?

Answer 1

There is no official MongoDb provider implementation for EF core at this time, I did not see any mention of MongoDb in the .net core 7 (the next version) roadmap as of now.

See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/providers/?tabs=dotnet-core-cli

I quickly googled a bit but could not find a recent version of a MongoDb provider.

Msdn docs also do not use EF core: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/first-mongo-app?view=aspnetcore-6.0&tabs=visual-studio

UPDATE

From the 'supported providers' table, MongoDb is now supported!

NuGet Package	Supported database engines	Maintainer / Vendor	Notes / Requirements	For EF Core	Useful links
MongoDB.EntityFrameworkCore	MongoDB	MongoDB	Currently in preview	7	docs

See the quickstart!
