ASP.NET Core Identity - where is Account Controller and Folder

Question

I am new to .NET Core and wanted to ask about Identity.

I bought a book and followed all the instruction. It is very simple to set Identity the way the book describes. Create an Account Controller, LogIn, Logout views etc...

But when I create a new project with Visual Studio with Individual User Accounts selected.

I can't find the Account Controller folder. There is an Areas folder but almost empty. Areas\Idnetity\Pages\_ViewStart.html.

I checked hidden files etc, but couldn't find Account or Identity Folder.

The login link is like this

 https://localhost:44313/Identity/Account/Login

Identity is working but where are the codes?

As this entry states:

In ASP.NET Core 2.1 we can now ship Razor UI in reusable class libraries. We are using this feature to provide the entire identity UI as a prebuilt package (Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.UI) that you can simply reference from an application.

Notice that you are asking this feature to be effective by adding .AddDefaultUI(UIFramework.Bootstrap4) to ConfigureServices method.

If you still love to scaffold the Identity as old days, use this cli command:

dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity --useDefaultUI
