ASP.NET Core 2.1 Identity couldn't find ApplicationUser

I've included Identity into my .NET Core2.1 project, when I try to build the project, it warns me with the following error:

The type or namespace name 'ApplicationUser' couldn't be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Should I define ApplicationUser myself or Identity will create it by itself?

any help would be appreciated.

You'll have to create the ApplicationUser class yourself. The default user is IdentityUser. ApplicationUser inherits from IdentityUser:

public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
}

But if you are not extending ApplicationUser then you can also use IdentityUser. So instead of this:

services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>()

you can use this:

services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>()

And replace ApplicationUser throughout the rest of the project with IdentityUser.
