Hey, we encourage you to contribute to .Net Core templates project: https://github.com/dotnet/templating in order to put community efforts into a single source project used by everyone in ecosystem. Thanks!

The Nancy project is based on framework's "Hello World" template: Nancy Getting Started: Introduction

The xUnit test project uses xUnit: a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for the .NET Framework

The F# Templates are based on Core F# Templates projects. They were translated into F# from the original ASP.NET Templates

The templates that use client-side libraries are calling the bower install script to install Bower managed dependencies. You can skip the installation process by passing the --skip-install option to the generator, e.g. yo aspnet --skip-install. This should allow for a better experience when Development has been enabled.

The templates support both LTS and Current version of runtime. The LTS version is enabled by default (or enforced by --version-lts option). You can switch to Current version at any time by passing --version-current option when invoking generator: yo aspnet --version-current.

Command line automation

The project type and application name can be specified as optional command line arguments:

yo aspnet [projecttype [applicationname] [uiframework]]

The valid project types are:

• web for Empty Web Application
• console for Console Application
• mvc for Web Application
• mvcbasic for Web Application Basic
• webapi for Web API Application
• nancy for Nancy ASP.NET Application
• classlib for Class Library
• mstest MSTest Test project (MSTest)
• xunit xUnit Test project (xUnit.net)
• fsharp_web for F# Empty Web Application
• fsharp_console for F# Console Application
• fsharp_classlib for F# Class Library
• fsharp_webapi for F# Web API Application
• fsharp_mvcbasic for F# Web Application Basic
• fsharp_mstest for F# Unit Test project (MSTest)
• fsharp_xunit for F# xUnit Test project (xUnit.net)

The valid UI framework types are:

• bootstrap for Bootstrap (this is the default and does not have to be specified explicitly)
• semantic for Semantic UI

Example: yo aspnet mvcbasic "my semantic app" semantic will create a "Web Application Basic" project called "my semantic app" using the Semantic UI framework.

Example: yo aspnet mvcbasic "my bootstrap app" OR yo aspnet mvcbasic "my bootstrap app" bootstrap will create a "Web Application Basic" project called "my bootstrap app" using the Bootstrap framework.
