.NET Kendo CRUD Generator

VS Code extension that generates a starter ASP.NET Core MVC CRUD screen using Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core / Kendo MVC Grid helpers.

Features

• Adds the Generate .NET CRUD command.
• Prompts for:
  • model name
  • fields, for example Name:string, Price:decimal, IsActive:bool
  • EF Core DbContext class name
  • app root namespace
• Generates:
  • Models/<Model>.cs - Entity model class
  • Repositories/Interfaces/I<Model>Repository.cs - Repository interface
  • Repositories/<Model>Repository.cs - Repository implementation with data access logic
  • Controllers/<Models>Controller.cs - Controller with dependency injection
  • Views/<Models>/Index.cshtml - Kendo Grid view

Requirements In The Target .NET App

The generated files assume your ASP.NET Core MVC project already has:

• EF Core configured
• a registered DbContext
• Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core / Kendo MVC installed and configured
• Kendo scripts and styles loaded in your layout

After generation, you need to:

1. Add the generated model to your DbContext:

   public DbSet<Product> Products => Set<Product>();
   

2. Add session support and register the repository in Program.cs:

   using YourApp.Repositories.Interfaces;
   using YourApp.Repositories;
   
   // Add session support
   builder.Services.AddDistributedMemoryCache();
   builder.Services.AddSession(options =>
   {
       options.IdleTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30);
       options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true;
       options.Cookie.IsEssential = true;
   });
   
   // Register repository
   builder.Services.AddScoped<IProductRepository, ProductRepository>();
   
   var app = builder.Build();
   app.UseSession();  // Add this before UseRouting()
   

3. Create a migration and update the database:

   dotnet ef migrations add AddProduct
   dotnet ef database update
   

Run During Development

npm install
npm run compile

Then press F5 in VS Code to launch the Extension Development Host and run Generate .NET CRUD from the command palette.
