Scaffolding: Can ASP.NET Identity 2.1 be made to use MVC UI not Web Pages?

[blowdart]

_From @A51UK on August 30, 2018 10:27_

I just try out the ASP.NET Identity 2.1, and was think of upgrade a project from Identity 2.0 to Identity 2.1 but found that it have been turn to the Web Pages Modal not the MVC one, is there a way to pick which ASP.NET Identity 2.1 UI modal to use (e.g. MVC not Web Pages)? If not it would be a good think to added in the next update.

When you scaffold? No, not right now. There's been some discussion of giving two scaffold options, but it's dependent on offsetting other work, but this is really a scaffolding question, so moving there.

There's been some discussion of giving two scaffold options

So options for either MVC or Razor Pages?

Yes options for either MVC or Razor Pages would be great and would be very helpful but it would be best that by default the scaffold would select the option base on the project template. Then allow the user to override the option.

I think its a bug that you select the MVC project template and you get Razor Page scaffolding. This is causing me an insane amount of work when I have to rewrite the Razor scaffolding as MVC for Identity.

@blowdart and @danroth27 Any update about this issue please?

[blowdart]

No. Nothing yet. We're considering it for later versions, but have not made a decision.

[TanvirArjel]

@blowdart This is really frustrating! ASP.NET Core team have made few very important miss-designs and this is one of them! :') Would be great if they fix it as soon as possible because almost every application requires identity..

[blowdart]

This is why we had a survey on it, which will be followed up with customer calls to identify demand, then we'll see if the demand is there to schedule work in 3.0

@blowdart I have submitted the survey. I think (may be most of the people will agree) best option would be:

Generate identity as UI Razor class library only if the user select Razor Page project template and generate identity in MVC if user select MVC project template.

@blowdart @danroth27 Any update about this major issue please!

[blowdart]

No.

[asafgo]

If I choose ASP.NET 2.2 Web Application (Model-View-Controller) template I expect to have AccountController and ManageController and not Razor Pages "Combine" with MVC.

Any updates when it will be available please?

[blowdart]

No.

When there is an update, either positive or negative I will update this issue.

Will there be any public visible summary of the survey? Would be nice to see what other people think.
A bit off topic, but the survey issue is closed, sorry.

I've rewritten the Asp Core Identity for Mvc. Feel free to take a look at https://github.com/prince272/AspCoreIdentityMvc

Simply change the url for the area 'Identity' to 'IdentityMvc' and you'll be automatically directed to the Mvc version for Identity.
