Web API Clean Architecture Solution Template

This is the reference template of web API service based on .NET Core 3.1. It takes a lot of time just to prepare fresh solution for new web api service. This template will save you some time at a start phase along with enforcing the principles of clean architecture inside new solution.

How to use

There are three different ways how to use this template

Use prebuild nuget package
Fork or download & use dotnet new to generate and install template locally
Fork or download & rename

Install template from nuget package

The easiest way to get started is to install the WebApiClean.Template.Solution nuget package.

Use this command to install a new template on your local machine: dotnet new --install WebApiClean.Template.Solution --nuget-source "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json"

Use this command to generate fresh solution from the template: dotnet new webapiclean -o NewSolutionName

Install template from sources

Download source code as zip and unzip it somewhere at your hard drive or fork & clone sources.

Use this command to install a new template on your local machine: dotnet new --install path_to_the_sources_root

Use this command to generate fresh solution from the template: dotnet new webapiclean -o NewSolutionName

Create new solution using rename

After all you can just download sources, unpack it somewhere and just rename all strings from WebApiClean to NewSolutionName. And rename the solution file as well. But I suggest using this approach only as a last resort.
