Getting Started

To get started with this Boilerplate, here are the avaiable options.

• Install using dotnet new . Use this for release versions of the Boilerplate only.
• Fork the Repository. Use this if you want to always keep your version of the Boilerplate up-to date with the latest changes.

Make sure that your DEV enviroment is setup, Read the Development Environment Guide

Using the .NET CLI

Open up your Command Prompt / Powershell and run the following command to install the solution template.

dotnet new --install FullStackHero.WebAPI.Boilerplate

This would install the fullstackhero .NET WebAPI Boilerplate template globally on your machine. With that done, let's see how you can start generating complete .NET WebAPI Solutions seamlessly.

Simply navigate to a new directory (wherever you want to place your new solution), and open up Command Prompt at the opened directory.

Run the following command. Note that, in this demonstration, I am naming my new solution as FSH.Starter.

dotnet new fsh-api -o FSH.Starter

For further steps and details, Read the Getting Started Guide
