Dotnet template "ModuleBuilderModule"

[bravo-kernel]

Finally got to this, hereby the dotnet template, closes #64.

• simplest solution (the initial efforts were overthought/over-engineered)
• generates folder structure and intial manifest only
• thus maintainable
• can easily be extended
• placed in a subfolder so more templates could be added (will probably never happen but hey)

To test locally as an end-user

git clone git@github.com:bravo-kernel/ModuleBuilder.git
cd ModuleBuilder
git checkout dotnet-template
dotnet new -i ./
dotnet new  # to see it's in the list
dotnet new ModuleBuilderModule --help # to see author and command line options

cd ..
dotnet new ModuleBuilderModule -o outputFolder --moduleName MyGeneratedModule  --allow-scripts yes
cd outputFolder

Build-Module .\Source\

TODO

• review
• include template in module publication
• decide whether or not we want to put Install-Script Install-RequiredModule --force in the post-action script. IMO this would make things a lot more user-friendly. However, will lead to every dotnet new command doing an install
• verify: docs say either use Classes OR Enum. If that is correct one needs to be removed from this template
• add that for end users note to the README

I've already been using this to mass produce modules. I think this is the bridge that will make ModuleBuilder usable for the masses. Please let me know what you think so we can get this out there.

I'm so slow. I will review tonight or tommorrow.

@Jaykul that would be cool, I hope you can approach this as "first make it work, then make it better" basis. I see this template complementing https://docusaurus-powershell.netlify.com/ (and vice-versa).

Can we use a less verbose shortname here?

Suggested change

	"shortName": "ModuleBuilderModule",
	"shortName": "PSMBModule",

[bravo-kernel]

We can rename shortName to whatever we like as long as there is consensus, this name just came up in the original discussion #64 . This is how it looks in the list atm:

This looks pretty good. I'm going to merge it, and then improve :-)

Awesome, more to come, let’s make this happen :)
