OpenSilver.Templates 3.1.1

OpenSilver CLI Templates

Welcome to the OpenSilver CLI Templates! This NuGet package provides a set of templates for creating OpenSilver applications and libraries quickly and efficiently. With templates designed for applications, business applications (built on OpenRia), and class libraries across multiple languages (C#, VB, and F#), this package empowers developers to kickstart OpenSilver projects with the structure they need.

Templates Included

1. OpenSilver Application

   • A standard OpenSilver application template to create web applications using the power of OpenSilver and .NET. Supports C#, VB, and F#.

2. OpenSilver Business Application

   • A business-focused template that leverages OpenRia (ported to OpenSilver), ideal for enterprise-level applications needing robust data management and communication. Supports C# and VB.

3. OpenSilver Class Library

   • Class libraries in C#, VB, and F# to support modularity and reusability in OpenSilver applications.

Each template is designed to help developers focus on building applications by providing a clear, pre-configured structure that works out of the box with OpenSilver.

Installation

To install the CLI templates, use the following command:

dotnet new install OpenSilver.Templates

Once installed, you can use dotnet new commands to create new projects from these templates.

Usage

Creating an OpenSilver Project

To create an OpenSilver Application, specify the language or let C# be the default:

dotnet new opensilverapp -n MyOpenSilverApp

For a Business Application (using OpenRia):

dotnet new opensilverbusinessapp -n MyOpenSilverBusinessApp

To create a Class Library, choose the language-specific template or default to C#:

dotnet new opensilverlib -lang C# -n MyOpenSilverClassLibrary

Alternatively, for VB or F#, replace C# with VB or F# in the -lang parameter.

These commands will generate a new project folder with the specified name, template structure, and language.
