Use $count without IEdmModel with EnableDependencyInjection

[ramil-mux]

Hello!
I would like to know if I can use the $count method without creating an IEdmModel using only EnableDependencyInjection in Startup class ASP.NET Core web application and [EnableQuery] in Controller?
Using only EnableDependencyInjection and [EnableQuery] method $count=true don't work - returns only the list of records of the current object.
If I use IEdmModel and MapODataServiceRoute in Sturtup class, then the $count method works - returns the list of records of the current object and count attribute.

I have the same yes or no question. Is using IEdmModel and MapODataServiceRoute required to get the full count using $count=true? If the answer is yes, then that is the approach we must take for now. If the answer is no, can someone point us to a working example?

Yes, if you use IEdmModel and MapODataServiceRoute, then $count will return the value.
My question is whether $count can return a value without IEdmModel and MapODataServiceRoute?
