I completed my post-graduation in 2013 in the engineering field. Engineering is the application of science and math to solve problems. Engineers figure out how things work and find practical uses for scientific discoveries. Scientists and inventors often get the credit for innovations that advance the human condition, but it is engineers who are instrumental in making those innovations available to the world. I love pet animals such as dogs, cats, etc.

The automatic code generation system of .NET Core Web API operates through Scaffolding which generates typical components such as controllers and models and data access layers from both database schemas and model classes. The .NET CLI together with Visual Studio provides scaffolding to automatically produce CRUD operations at a minimal cost to developers.

The scaffolding tool of a Web API platform automatically produces an operational API controller which includes complete GET, POST, PUT and DELETE functionality to interact with Entity Framework Core models along with a database context. The tool serves developers well for creating RESTful endpoints or building rapid prototypes in their projects.

How It Works:

Through scaffolding the tool analyzes model classes alongside DbContext to create an API controller with HTTP request-handling methods. The produced code implements dependency injection of DbContext and performs model validation tasks and appropriate HTTP response operations.

Benefits of Scaffolding:

  • The automatic code production feature saves developers time on repetitive work.
  • Your application maintains uniformity between its different sections
  • Scaffolding functions as a tool that teaches novices to organize a .NET Core API infrastructure.
  • Easily customizable after generation
