SQLite - Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider

[statler]

I am having trouble generating the SQLite configs when using an EF7 library. I am getting the following error

System.ArgumentException: 'Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.'

Happens at:
var factory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(providerName);

I know this is caused by the factory not being registered - which is understandable in a framework app, but this is not how the EF Core config works - e.g. there is no app.config. Further, the provider is Microsoft.data.sqlite.

I expect there is something hacky that has to be done to get the factopry to work. Can you please advise - maybe some docs or something?

Yes you are correct you need to register it. Have a read of the Sqlite wiki here hopefully that will get you up and running in no time.
