Passing generic DBset entities to DbContext

Here is my dbcontext 

public partial class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
    //dbset 1
    public DbSet<Customer> Customers { get; set; }

    //dbset 2
    public DbSet<Order> Orders { get; set; }
}

I want to pass my models i mean Customer and order outside MyDbContext .something like this :

public partial class MyDbContext<T> : DbContext
{

    public DbSet<T> <T>{ get; set; }

}

And a function to get the list of entities to add to my context like this 

addEntityToDbContext(Customer)
addEntityToDbContext(Orders)

Is it possible?

I am using EF Core .

Solution

  • I'm not sure what your question is? But DbContext has a generic DbSet method already built in?

        public virtual DbSet<TEntity> Set<TEntity>() where TEntity : class => 
(DbSet<TEntity>)((IDbSetCache)this).GetOrAddSet(DbContextDependencies.SetSource, typeof(TEntity));
