I can't find examples on how to use EF Database Initializers with EF Core nor can I find a list of EF Database Initializers shipping with EF Core.
Has the concept of Database Initializers become obsolete? What's the current approach of initializing a database ... or not initializing an existing database?

1 Creating a Database with Code First in EF Core. The Code First approach enables you to define an entity model in code, create a database from the model, and then add data to the database. MySQL Connector/NET is compatible with multiple versions of Entity Framework Core.
EF Core works with many databases, including SQL Database (on-premises and Azure), SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Azure Cosmos DB.
The Database. SetInitializer() method should be kept before the Context object is initialized. In ASP.NET web application, the best place will be in Application_Start() event of Global. asax file.
DropCreateDatabaseAlways: As the name suggests, this initializer drops an existing database every time you run the application, irrespective of whether your model classes have changed or not.
In .Net core you can use functions of Database property form DbContext instance. It allows you to create database (EnsureCreated), destroy database (EnsureDeleted) and migrate to last migration (Migrate). Required data should be placed in migrations. Look at last section of https://docs.microsoft.com/ef/core/managing-schemas/migrations/ for more details.
