Template

Project for dotnet templates

Install templates

local version

You can build a local prelease version and install this to test it.

On windows run build-and-install-templates.cmd to install all templates.

install version from nuget feed

1. Create a personal access token with the right read:packages
2. Add the nuget source to the nuget feed.

dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.pkg.github.com/KinNeko-De/index.json --name github --username <MY_USER> --password <MY_PAT>

3. Install the template

dotnet new install kinneko-de.template.dotnet

Read the documentation for more information.

New project

The template must be used to create new projects

Microservice

To create a new project based on the microservice template use

dotnet new microservice --name-dotnet <MyNameOfDotnetProject> --name-project <MyNameOfProject> --name-domain <MyNameOfDomain>

Example

dotnet new microservice --name-dotnet SvcExample --name-project Template --name-domain Example

Database

The microservice is created with a database by default.

If the microservice does not need a database, you must remove the database. Use the --database false flag.

dotnet new microservice [..] --database false

Database port number

The database port number for local debug is randomly generated to support running multiple services on one localhost.

If you want to use a specific port number us the --database-port flag.

dotnet new microservice [..] --database-port 12345

Metric

Metrics are created by default using OpenTelemtry

If the microservice does not need metrics, you must remove the metrics. Use the --metric false flag.

dotnet new microservice [..] --metric false

Multiple services for a domain

If you want to create multiple services for the same domain, as example a service and an api gateway, you can also set the the type of the service.

Example

dotnet new microservice --name-dotnet SvcExample --name-project Template --name-domain Example --name-type Api-Gateway --database false

Replacing variables

From dotnet templating

Choose the right output depending of your context.

Transform	Input	Output
Identity	Template.1	Template.1
Namespace	Template.1	Template._1
Class Name	Template.1	Template__1
Lowercase Identity	Template.1	template.1
Lowercase Namespace	Template.1	template._1
Lowercase Class Name	Template.1	template__1

Full mapping

Transform	sourceName	name	generated replacement
Identity	Template.1	My-App.1	Template.1 -> My-App.1
Namespace	Template.1	My-App.1	Template._1 -> My_App.1
Class Name	Template.1	My-App.1	Template__1 -> My_App_1
Lowercase Identity	Template.1	My-App.1	template.1 -> my-app.1
Lowercase Namespace	Template.1	My-App.1	template._1 -> my_app.1
Lowercase Class Name	Template.1	My-App.1	template__1 -> my_app_1

Excluding template only config use the conditional expression templateonly to exlude code that is only there for the template and should never be take to the generated project.

Note Not all replacement are already implemented in the template
