How to only generate library (models and abstract controller) for .NET Core using Open API generator

Question

I'm trying to create a separate .NET Core library project for all generated files which I can implement in my API code.

That way generation does not delete/change my actual API like it does if you generate all of it.

I can use:

docker run --rm -v "${PWD}:/local" openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate 
  -i /local/generated/swagger.yaml 
  -g aspnetcore 
  -o /local/abstract 
  --additional-properties=packageName=Test.Abstract

To generate a full working server stub, but how do i modify this to only generate the library from the Swagger file?

I tried adding buildTarget like this:

--additional-properties=packageName=InsuranceDomain.Abstract,buildTarget=library

but that results in an error:

[error] Found unexpected parameters: [buildTarget=library]

Have you tried:

--additional-properties "packageName=InsuranceDomain.Abstract,buildTarget=library"
