Add ability to scaffold identity endpoints in project and override these

[shakeel19]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.

The solution to provide the API endpoints with .net core 8 is great feature, We have considered to use this feature in our new project that we are going to kick in couple of months.
The issue that APIs provide very basic functionality ie register endpoint only accepting email and password to create user. But in real world scenario there could be are some other attributes which could be required at time of registration there are many examples.

Describe the solution you'd like

My suggestion is to instead of keeping this implementation hidden, there should be option to scaffold is in the project so that a developer can override its functionality according to requirements. Optionally it should be allowed to scaffolded selected endpoints.
The similar feature available with razor pages where developer can override the selected views for identity, this is best option for razor based application but not SPA applications.
I have gone through many other issues as well and I believe some issues will solved when developers will have option to override the API.

Hi 👋😁 @shakeeldev3,
I think this is a great approach for the Identity API endpoints.
From this approach, we can:

• Select which endpoints to use
• Override the implementation
• Adapt flexibly for custom scenarios
• Generate separate files, so we don't compromise the project
• Above all, Don't repeat yourself

Great @shakeeldev3 thanks for sharing your idea👏🏽🙏

Hi @JeremyLikness, can you check this please?

It looks like #58959 is a duplicate of this. I think we searched for the terms "scaffold" and "MapIdentityApi", so this didn't come up. We plan to do this for .NET 10 though!

This would be very useful.
In a new project I'd like to use the new identity endpoint, but sadly manage/info isn't returning claims and roles anymore.
I fully agree, that security must be done on both frontend and backend, but I show/hide some options on the frontend based on claims and roles (I do the validation on the backend as well).
For now, I created a custom backend, but there should be an option that will allow us to add roles and claims to the response
