This repository contains the demo templates from my talk at Codegarden 2024 entitled "Kick-start your way to speedy consistency; a guide to custom dotnet new templates". The video will be available for anyone to view in September; I'll add a link here when it is.
If you want to install and test these locally:
- Clone this repository
- Navigate to the
Templatesfolder cmd > dotnet new install .\
Each template is in its own folder inside Templates. Look at .template.config\template.json to see the configuration file for each template.
dotnet new acmeissuetemplates -n MyProject
An item template that adds the .yml files in the correct folder structure so that, when pushed to GitHub, users posting new issues and feature requests will be asked to use a customised, more friendly template.
dotnet new acmereadme -n MyProject
A item template for adding a readme file to the current working directory.
It uses a 'derived' symbol to replace any instance of "FriendlySiteName" with a "friendly" version of the name parameter, i.e. one with spaces inserted. For example if -n MyProject is passed, then "FriendlySiteName" will be replaced with "My Project"
dotnet new acmeumbracostarter -n MyProject
A project template for starting a new Umbraco project which already has uSync installed, a hijacked controller and custom view model, and some starting CSS assets. This is just to demonstrate how you can create your own Umbraco template, this is not a starting position that I would actually recommend using!
The template.json file is configured to:
- Generate a new telemetry guid
- Not copy various folders, e.g. the Umbraco/Data folder
- Generate new http and https port numbers for working locally
- Support a custom parameter so that the user can decide to enable the Delivery API
