• Add the new Json file with name conventions : EntityNameJsonData.json
• Make sure the Json sturcture of the entity has an Id field.

• Derive the new class from BaseClass and implemnt GetSearchableText method. This methods returns a string made of Searchable fields and used by search function.
• Add a new Controller for the Entity and derive it from BaseController
• Provide proper route the access the new controller and that's all. The BaseController has all the Logic to handle requests.
