The easiest way to install the Falco template is by running the following command in your terminal:
dotnet new -i "Falco.Template::*"
This will pull and install the latest Falco.Template NuGet package into your .NET environment and make it available to subsequent dotnet new commands.
Whenever there is a new version of the Falco template you can update it by re-running the instructions from the installation.
You can also explicitly set the version when installing the template:
dotnet new -i "Falco.Template::1.0.0"
After the template has been installed you can create a new Falco web application by simply running dotnet new falco in your terminal:
dotnet new falco
This will generate a basic ASP.NET web application with Falco installed and activate, demonstrating some basic routing and output techniques.
There are two other project types available, which can be accessed using the -P or --ProjectType argument:
- MVC -
dotnet new falco -P mvc - RESTful JSON API -
dotnet new falco -P rest
To try these templates locally from source:
cd src/Templatesdotnet packdotnet new -i C:\PATH\TO\NUPKG\PACKAGE\Falco.Template.x.x.x.nupkg
To uninstall the local version
dotnet new -u Falco.Templates
To add a new template you can do the following
cd templatesdotnet new falco -o *where*is the name of your next template.
Update the code as needed and don't forget to add the project type to the .template.config/template.json file.
