Generate DTO for entity: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

1. Parse arguments:

   • Entity name (required): e.g., Employee, TextSnippetText
   • Options: --with-mapping (include MapToEntity), --minimal (core props only)

2. Find the entity:

   • Search in *.Domain/Entities/ folders
   • Read the entity class to understand its properties

3. Generate DTO following platform patterns:

   Location: *.Application/EntityDtos/<EntityName>Dto.cs

   Template:

   public class {Entity}Dto : PlatformEntityDto<{Entity}, string>
   {
       // Empty constructor required
       public {Entity}Dto() { }
   
       // Constructor maps from entity
       public {Entity}Dto({Entity} entity) : base(entity)
       {
           // Map core properties
       }
   
       // CORE PROPERTIES
       public string? Id { get; set; }
       // ... other properties from entity
   
       // OPTIONAL LOAD PROPERTIES (for With* methods)
       public RelatedDto? Related { get; set; }
   
       // WITH* FLUENT METHODS
       public {Entity}Dto WithRelated(RelatedEntity related)
       {
           Related = new RelatedDto(related);
           return this;
       }
   
       // PLATFORM OVERRIDES
       protected override object? GetSubmittedId() => Id;
       protected override string GenerateNewId() => Ulid.NewUlid().ToString();
       protected override {Entity} MapToEntity({Entity} entity, MapToEntityModes mode)
       {
           // Map DTO properties back to entity
           return entity;
       }
   }
   

4. Read the template file for complete pattern:

   • .github/prompts/create-entity-dto.prompt.md

5. After generation:

   • Show the generated DTO
   • Ask if any properties should be excluded or modified
   • Offer to create the file

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes

• Always plan and break many small todo tasks
• Always add a final review todo task to review the works done at the end to find any fix or enhancement needed
