Scaffolding API models for a new .NET feature involves generating request and response records in Web.Shared.Models.Api. This tool creates Create, Update, Slim, and Paginated models while enforcing Umbrella's shared models pattern for consistent naming and organization.

API models require IKeyedItem<int>, IConcurrencyStamp, ICreateResultModel<int>, IUpdateModel<int>, and IUpdateResultModel interfaces. The scaffolding enforces these contracts and supports optional base class hierarchies to centralize shared validation attributes.

Yes, base class hierarchies can centralize validation in C# API models. The scaffolding supports optional base classes to apply shared validation attributes across Create, Update, Slim, and Paginated records, ensuring maintainability and reuse.

Using a scaffold tool is the best way to generate paginated and slim read models in dotnet. It produces full read, slim read, create, update, result, and paginated records per feature, maintaining consistent organization in Web.Shared.Models.Api.

The dotnet API model scaffold operates without external dependencies. It generates model records implementing the required interfaces based on Umbrella's shared models pattern, requiring no additional packages to produce the API model structures.

A concurrency stamp is needed when creating API models in C# to handle optimistic concurrency control. The scaffold ensures models implement IConcurrencyStamp, enabling safe concurrent updates and preventing data conflicts in Web.Shared.Models.Api.
