Inject it Add it as one of the parameters of your lambda

in minimal api every service is injected via parameters, this includes ur db context as well. eg, u could also inject an ILogger by adding one as parameter

could someone provide a code snippet ? all i get is:
System.InvalidOperationException: Failure to infer one or more parameters.
Below is the list of parameters that we found:

Parameter | Source
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
city | Body (Attribute)
dataContext | UNKNOWN

this is my data context:
using GetOut.Models;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

namespace GetOut.Data;

public class DataContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<City> Cities { get; set; }
public DbSet<Provider> Providers { get; set; }
public DbSet<Event> Events { get; set; }
}
using GetOut.Models;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

namespace GetOut.Data;

public class DataContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<City> Cities { get; set; }
public DbSet<Provider> Providers { get; set; }
public DbSet<Event> Events { get; set; }
}
do I have to change something?

No, looks good to me How does your MapPost look with the context injected?

looks like this:
app.MapPost("/cities", async ([FromBody] City city, DataContext dataContext) => {
dataContext.Cities.Add(city);
return Results.Ok();
});
app.MapPost("/cities", async ([FromBody] City city, DataContext dataContext) => {
dataContext.Cities.Add(city);
return Results.Ok();
});

Try adding [FromServices] attribute to the parameter, then Also, just to make sure, your dbcontext is registered in the services?

builder.Services.AddDbContext<DataContext>();

OK, I have done it. No database provider has been configured for this DbContext.

Override the OnConfiguring() method in the dbcontext And configure what provider you want to use
