Microsoft announced Entity Framework Core 2.1 RC in Build 2018. Data Seeding probably is one of the most useful features of Entity Framework and it got a nice upgrade on this version. Unlike Entity Framework 6.0, Seeding data is associated with an entity type as part of the model configuration which means Entity Framework can now track added, updated or removed data from one change to another change and generates the corresponding migration script for the changes.
Seeding data in Entity Framework Core now is as easy as:
modelBuilder.Entity<Book>().HasData(new Book {BookId = 1, Title = "Don't read this book"});
