I have included AspNetCore.Identity in my MVC web app project however, the model and view files do not scaffold automatically. In Visual Studio for Windows the option to scaffold identity is in the context menu via 'Add > New Scaffolded Item'. Is there a similar scaffolding option in Visual Studio 2019 for Mac?
I have found info on how to scaffold identity files using terminal here however, my question is about if Visual Studio for Mac has this ability in the UI.
There are few solutions:
(1) trick: Use Visual Studio on Windows, then scaffolding. Then copy to macOS computer. It's easy way.
(2) On macOS computer, Install tool
dotnet tool install -g dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator
then generate scaffoloding files
dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity -h
