Why GetEdmModel() method is explicitly defined in Startup.cs

[srazasyed]

In your team's tutorial Getting Started with ASP.NET Core OData 8, the Build the Edm model and configure the service section does not explicitly define GetEdmModel() method. I have worked on this Getting Started tutorial, and it works fine. So, why we you have GetEdmModel() method explicitly defined in your Startup.cs file in GitGub libary?

It doesn't matter where GetEdmModel is defined. In fact there's no requirement to define a method called GetEdmModel(), we just need to pass an instance of IEdmModel to the AddRouteComponents method. It's up to you to decide where to get that model instance from. The tutorial and sample code are just examples.
