handlebar template by db context/new db context template data

@jan-diputado Please ask the Handlebars questions in the Handlebars repo.

For T4, they certainly supports multiple sets of templates.

Please refer to the wiki, and "The tool just breaks" is not a useful error report.

@ErikEJ, Sorry, I should have put more details; I was hopeful that there was a handlebars solution.

For T4 approach, I don't understand what is to be placed in T4 template path; I tried the following on my project:

..\..\
DB1
DB1\CodeTemplates
DB1\CodeTemplates\EFCore
DB1\CodeTemplates\EFCore\
/DB1/CodeTemplates/EFCore

but none of them worked. The CodeTemplates\EFCore folders are not created.

It only works when the path is blank.
Then, when I move the folder to the correct location and change the T4 template path, the tool just ignores it and places all models and db context on the base folder (DB1 folder), instead of folder paths I defined on the tool.

Below is the content of efpt.db1.config.json

         "ObjectType": 0
      }
   ],

Let me know if you need more info.

@jan-diputado Thanks.

The path should point to a folder where there is a CodeTemplates folder below, I have updated the docs

If you like my free tools, I would be very grateful for a rating or review on Visual Studio Marketplace or even a one-time or monthly sponsorship
