Full, template based projects available in generator:
- Empty Web Application
- Console Application
- Web Application
- Web Application Basic [without Membership and Authorization]
- Web API Application
- Nancy ASP.NET Application
- Class Library
- Unit Test project (xUnit.net)
The Empty Web Application, Console Application, Web Application, Web Application Basic (a.k.a. Web Application No Auth), Web API Application and Class Library are based on the templates introduced with Visual Studio 2015. They are available and maintained in the ASP.NET Templates project.
ASP.NET Templates project provides templates which are used in Visual Studio for creating ASP.NET Core 1.0 applications.
NOTE: Starting from
RC2dotnetrelease the web application template project no longer ships with built-in EF migration. For this reason you should calldotnet ef database updateto scaffold database using template provided migrations!
The Nancy project is based on framework's "Hello World" template: Nancy Getting Started: Introduction
The Docker support with Dockerfile configuration files is based on the official Docker image for ASP.NET 5
The Unit test project uses xUnit: a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for the .NET Framework
The templates that use client side libraries are calling bower install script to install Bower managed dependencies. You can skip installation process by passign --skip-install option to generator, e.g. yo aspnet --skip-install. This should allow better experience when Development has been enabled.
The project type and application name can be specified as optional command line arguments:
yo aspnet [projecttype [applicationname] [uiframework]]
The valid project types are:
emptywebfor Empty Web Applicationconsoleappfor Console Applicationwebfor Web Applicationwebbasicfor Web Application Basicwebapifor Web API Applicationnancyfor Nancy ASP.NET Applicationclasslibraryfor Class LibraryunittestUnit Test project (xUnit.net)
The valid UI framework types are:
bootstrapfor Bootstrap (this is the default and does not have to be specified explicitly)semanticfor Semantic UI
Example:
yo aspnet webbasic "my semantic app" semanticwill create a "Web Application Basic" project called "my semantic app" using the Semantic UI framework.
Example:
yo aspnet webbasic "my bootstrap app"ORyo aspnet webbasic "my bootstrap app" bootstrapwill create a "Web Application Basic" project called "my bootstrap app" using the Bootstrap framework.
The goal of generator-aspnet is to provide an experience consistent with creating new ASP.NET Core 1.0 dotnet cli projects
and files in Visual Studio 2015.
