| For large models, the OnModelCreating method of the DbContext class can become unmanageably large. One way to address this is to use `IEntityTypeConfiguration<T>` classes. See [Creating and configuring a model](xref:core/modeling/index#grouping-configuration) for more information about these classes. | ||
|
|
||
| To scaffold these classes, you can use a third template called `EntityTypeConfiguration.t4`. Like the `EntityType.t4` template, it gets used for each entity type in the model and uses the `EntityType` template parameter. |

Where can we get a sample of this template?

+1 We hope to provide it (and other template flavors) eventually. Probably as a community-driven project.
Here's the gist of what it would look like:
<#@ parameter name="EntityType" type="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IEntityType" #>
<#@ parameter name="NamespaceHint" type="System.String" #>
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
namespace <#= NamespaceHint #>;
public class <#= EntityType.Name #>Configuration : IEntityTypeConfiguration<<#= EntityType.Name #>>
{
public void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder<<#= EntityType.Name #>> builder)
{
<#
// TODO: Move code from DbContext.t4 to here
#>
}
}

I will have a play with it. I already have a DbContext splitting option that can use this.
