Entity Framework 6 is pretty awesome, and there is probably a part of it that you are not fully aware of.

With this class you can separate your model mappings from your DbContext.

Here is a simple step by step example of how to implement Entity Framework Model Mapping

Create your model

Set up your DbContext

Setup your mapping using the EntityTypeConfiguration class.

Now we are ready to go!

Here is a UserService class that will use our configured context.

Piece of cake, right?

You can use this style for any type of model. You can also add associations to models, but I shall save that for another day!
