This is a list of some of the available Entity Framework Core extensions out there that expand the functionality of the Entity Framework Core runtime. Only libraries that extend DbContext or similar are included, and they must be published on NuGet.org.
The EF team has lists of third party EF Core providers here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/providers/
For a similar list of EF 6.x extensions, see my blog post here
Please let me know if I have missed anything, and I will add it to the list.
