I have a database project that's used by other dotnet projects (azure function app and a web app). I want to use dotnet ef core cli to work with migrations, but I don't want to keep my connection string in-code (I want to my repo to be public).
Here's my current DbContext:
public ChadwickDbContext(DbContextOptions options): base(options) {}
When I run something like:
dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate
I get the error:
Unable to create an object of type 'ChadwickDbContext'. For the
different patterns supported at design time, see

This worked previously because I had the connection string hard coded like this:
public ChadwickDbContext(string connectionString = "<connection string>"): base(GetOptions(connectionString)) {}
Is there any way to set the connection string via the cli or include some sort of environment file like appsettings.json in a database-only project?
Scaffolding seems to be close to what I want, but that appears to be more of a way to generate your context and models (which is already done).
