Create Model Template

The create model template generates a create model from an entity. The create model is used to shape creating new entity instances.

Output

Example of a generated model class

public partial class StatusCreateModel
    : EntityCreateModel
{
    #region Generated Properties
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Description { get; set; }

    public int DisplayOrder { get; set; }

    public bool IsActive { get; set; }
    #endregion
}

The create model template has the following configuration that can be set in the yaml configuration file.

Configuration values set at the this level override the shared model configuration.
