AspNetCore.Docs/aspnetcore/includes/scaffold-identity/id-scaffold-dlg-auth.md

Run the Identity scaffolder:

Visual Studio

• From Solution Explorer, right-click on the project > Add > New Scaffolded Item.
• From the left pane of the Add Scaffold dialog, select Identity > ADD.
• In the ADD Identity dialog, select the options you want.
  • Select your existing layout page, or your layout file will be overwritten with incorrect markup. When an existing _Layout.cshtml file is selected, it is not overwritten.

For example ~/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml for Razor Pages ~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml for MVC projects

• To use your existing data context, select at least one file to override. You must select at least one file to add your data context.
  • Select your data context class.
  • Select ADD.
• To create a new user context and possibly create a custom user class for Identity:
  • Select the + button to create a new Data context class.
  • Select ADD.

Note: If you're creating a new user context, you don't have to select a file to override.

.NET Core CLI

If you have not previously installed the ASP.NET scaffolder, install it now:

dotnet tool install -g dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator

Add a package reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design to the project (*.csproj) file. Run the following command in the project directory:

dotnet add package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design
dotnet restore

Run the following command to list the Identity scaffolder options:

dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity -h

In the project folder, run the Identity scaffolder with the options you want. For example, to setup identity with the default UI and the minimum number of files, run the following command. Use the correct fully qualified name for your DB context:

dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity -dc MyWeb.Data.ApplicationDbContext --files Account.Register
