Testing Ready
Generates FakeDbContext for easy unit testing. Build fast, robust tests without complex mocking or in-memory databases.
FakeDbContext inherits from the same interface your business logic uses.
Multi-Context Support
Generate multiple database contexts in a single operation.
Perfect for complex enterprise applications where full control of what's generated is paramount.
Full Control Over Your Code
While the default output is exceptional, we understand that every project has unique requirements. Our generator provides extensive customisation options, allowing you to tailor the generated code to your exact specifications. You have the power to define how your data layer is structured, named, and behaves.
- Filter the tables and views to the minimum set you need
- Rename tables, columns, and stored procedures
- Add custom interfaces and base classes to entities
- Modify code generation using flexible {{Mustache}} templates

Optimise Performance with Precision Filtering
Filter, filter, filter!
A bloated DbContext can lead to slower startup times and increased memory usage. One of the most powerful features of our generator is the ability to include only the database objects you need. By filtering out unnecessary tables, views, and procedures, you can create a lean, highly optimised data context.
This fine-grained control is essential for large, complex databases with hundreds or thousands of tables. It ensures your application remains fast and responsive, loading only the metadata required for its operations. This approach simplifies your domain model and significantly improves the overall performance of your Entity Framework application.
This is key to having a fast EntityFramework - perfect for microservices, AWS lambdas and Azure functions.
Generated Code Example

Clean, Organized Code
Our generator creates well-structured code with proper regions, clear naming conventions, and follows Entity Framework best practices. Each generated file is organized and ready for production use.
Interface-Based Design
Generate interfaces for your DbContext to enable better testing and dependency injection. Perfect for enterprise applications that require clean architecture patterns. Supports Tables, Views, Stored procedures, Table-valued functions & Scalar-valued functions.
Fake Database context
Generate FakeDbContext for easy unit testing.
It inherits from the base class of your DbContext and can be used in unit tests instead of your real DbContext.
DbContext Factory Pattern
Generate a DbContext Factory class that facilitates the creation of DbContext instances at design time.
This is particularly useful for scenarios such as migrations.
POCO Entity Classes
Generate expertly written entity classes that represent your database tables and views.
Configuration Classes
Generate Entity Framework configuration classes that define how your entities map to the database.
These classes provide fine-grained control over table names, column mappings, relationships, and constraints.
Stored Procedure Return Models
Generate strongly-typed return models for stored procedures and table-valued functions.
This generator creates proper C# classes that represent the result sets returned by your database procedures.
Generated Enumerations
Generate C# enumerations from your database tables.
List the tables containing enumeration data, and the generator will create C# enums for you.
