Entity Framework Core Context Instance Options

I am new on EF Core.

I have created my context which refers from appsettings.json 

public APITestDBContext(DbContextOptions<APITestDBContext> options):base(options)
{
}

Working well. I able to update DB in Code First approach. But when I tried to make an instance from dbcontext, it's expecting option. I don't know what options that expecting.

private APITestDBContext db = new APITestDBContext();

There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'options' of 'APITestDBContext.APITestDBContext(DbContextOptions)'

What I need to write there?

What you did is fine that you supported dependency injection for your class, and In the ConfigureService Method in Startup.cs you mentioned how the injection to be resolved. So now when you need to create new like that. Your class requires a constructor parameter which you need to provide which will be the same parameter value in your startup class.

or create another overload for the constructor as below which accepts no parameters : 

public APITestDBContext():base()
{
}

But to do that it will call DBContext.OnConfiguring() method to setup your db which you need to implement.

 protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
    {
        optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer("Your Connection String");
    }
