Description

Attributes such as [Required], [Range], [StringLength(5)] from the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace should be retained in the generated client side models so validation can be performed.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the C# code generator in NJsonSchema to find where validation attributes are removed from generated models, and modify the generator to retain the [Required], [Range], [StringLength] attributes.
