  const { entity, resourceName, apisDir } = eventParams;
  const controllerPath = `${apisDir}/${entity.name}/${pascalCase(entity.name)}Controller.cs`;
  const controllerFile = files.get(controllerPath);

  if (controllerFile) {
    // Add a custom action to the controller
    controllerFile.code.addMethod(
      CsharpSupport.method({
        name: "ExportToCsv",
        access: "public",
        isAsync: true,
        returnType: CsharpSupport.Types.task(CsharpSupport.Types.reference("IActionResult")),
        decorators: [
          CsharpSupport.decorator({
            name: "HttpGet",
            arguments: ["export-csv"],
          }),
        ],
        body: `
          var allItems = await _service.List();
          var csv = ConvertToCsv(allItems);
          return File(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(csv), "text/csv", "${entity.name}Export.csv");
        `,
      })
    );

    // Add necessary imports
    controllerFile.code.addImport("System.Text");
    controllerFile.code.addImport("Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc");
