I created a new MVC project in Visual Studio 2017. I wanted to add an EDMX file (I will be doing database-first) so right clicked on the project and selected Add|New Item.
However, I cannot find the Entity Framework components that were available in the previous versions of Visual Studio. Does anyone know where they went?

Right-click the Models folder in the Solution Explorer window and select the menu option Add, New Item. In the Add New Item dialog, select the Data category (see Figure 1). Select the ADO.NET Entity Data Model template, give the Entity Data Model the name MoviesDBModel. edmx, and click the Add button.

I had a similar issue today after i updated my VS to the latest 2017 version. I tried to open an .edmx file in VS2017 and it didn't show the designer view. So i realised i forgot to select Entity Framework tools during the installation:
Everything is back to normal :)
