我应该添加哪个项目.Net Core Identity（Web API 或 Web 客户端）？

Question

I have created 2 separate projects a Web API and MVC as a Web Client. I wanted to add an external login for my web client, and now I'm confused on which project I should put the Identity stores.

By the way I am using.Net Core 3.1 with VS Code as my editor.

Answer 1

This question is not complete (there is not enough information on how You going to use API).

In most cases, the.Net Core Identity system should be used in an API , since often APIs contain the main logic of the application being implemented, and clients are just interaction interfaces (of which there can be several , for example, a mobile application and a web interface).

You also mentioned that You are using VS Code as code editor. It doesn't have built-in code generation capabilities like VS does, but you can still use dotnet CLI codegenerators (eg ASP Identity scaffolding ).
