Ignore inherited class

[pipe01]

Not a bug, but it would be useful if we had an option to ignore a type's base class.

Currently, I have a model class declared as public class AppUser : IdentityUser<long> and the generated model has a declaration like: interface AppUser extends Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.IdentityUser. Of course, the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.IdentityUser class it's extending doesn't exist so I get an error.

Maybe there could be an option to not include extensions of classes outside the current assembly, or on a list of assemblies.

@pipe01,
how did you see it?

• do not extend anything
• do not extend interface
• just generate model for interface

How to define?

• which base classes should be extend or not
• what have to do with properties from base classes, should introduce them or not

I think at this point it'd be better to have a configuration per model you want to generate, perhaps a comment right before the class containing key=value entries, like:

//<model>
//ignoreBaseType = true
//</model>
public class MyClass : Base, ISomething
{
   ... 
}
