How to access Entity Framework Core's DbContext in an Azure Function?

This post describes how you can access your Entity Framework Core model classes and the database context in your Azure Functions. In my example I'm using EF Core 2.1, but the main principle should be the same for later versions as well. Please note, that I use Azure functions runtime v2 (but it should work the same in v3 !)
