Explanation for Code.

Hi Can you explain me the CustomeScaffolder.cs and SampleGeneratorModel.cs implementation. I will be very thankful to you. And one more thing. The instructions you have provided for build and model creation run successfully but no model gets generated. :-)

Hi @ali-raza-iftikhar, the CustomScaffolder in this case doesn't actually do anything. This was intended to demonstrate how a custom scaffolder would get invoked by dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator.

• The CustomScaffolder.GenerateCode method is the main entry point which gets invoked by the scaffolding engine.

• The SampleGeneratorModel defines the command line parameters that are accepted by the CustomScaffolder

but no model gets generated

Yes, that was intentional, it was only intended to print the passed in model to the console.

I have another sample https://github.com/prafullbhosale/EmptyControllerAndViewScaffolder This repo has a working scaffolder that adds an empty controller and view in a single operation.

https://github.com/prafullbhosale/EmptyControllerAndViewScaffolder/blob/master/EmptyControllerAndViewScaffolder/ControllerAndViewGenerator.cs

Let me know if this sample explains what you are looking for.
