Dotnet new extension

This extension is built on top of the dotnet new CLI, it allows for an easier creation of templates, by selecting the template, filling out the parameters & use the create button.

Features

Currently this extension adds a command (Dotnet new: Create item from template). This will create a new window with all the currently available templates in dotnet new (including separately installed templates).

It also add the option to create this from a folder in the explorer. Rightclick a folder, select Create new item from template here and opens up the same as the above command, but with the folder prefilled.

Requirements

dotnet core sdk

This extension is dependent on the dotnet new CLI. It is tested with dotnet core 2.0 and dotnet core 2.1. It might work for dotnet core 1.0.

Known Issues

When reopening create tab, it switches back to template overview.
