Accelerate the creation of .NET Core 2.1.x API projects with minimal dependencies and a solution containing settings for DI/IoC, API versioning, automatic OpenAPI/Swagger documentation, separated layers, preconfigured mapping settings, preconfigured log settings, etc.

Description

This extension allows to create a .NET Core solution taking into account:

  • DI according to .NET Core 2.1.x practices (without external dependencies)
  • exception handling settings according to .NET Core 2.1.x practices (exception and validation filters are not required anymore)
  • AppSettings (.NET Core 2.1.x way)
  • mapping settings (based on Automapper)
  • OpenAPI basic configuration (can be enabled/disabled by configuration)
  • API Versioning (based on URL routes)
  • OpenAPI versioning
  • XML Comments included in Swagger

You will find here more information about how to install and use the extension.
