The goal of this template is to provide a straightforward and efficient approach to enterprise application development, leveraging the power of Clean Architecture and ASP.NET Core. Using this template, you can effortlessly create a Single Page App (SPA) with Angular and ASP.NET Core, while adhering to the principles of Clean Architecture. Getting started is easy - simply click Use this template above or install the .NET template (see below for full details).

• ASP.NET Core 8
• Entity Framework Core 8
• Angular 15
• MediatR
• AutoMapper
• FluentValidation
• NUnit, FluentAssertions, Moq & Respawn

The easiest way to get started is to install the .NET template and run dotnet new ca-sln:

1. Install the latest versions of .NET 8 SDK and Node.js LTS
2. Run dotnet new install Clean.Architecture.Solution.Template to install the .NET template
3. Run dotnet new ca-sln --output YourProjectName to create a new project
4. Navigate to YourProjectName/src/WebUI and launch the project using dotnet run

The template is configured to use an in-memory database by default. This ensures that all users will be able to run the solution without needing to set up additional infrastructure (e.g. SQL Server).

If you would like to use SQL Server, you will need to update WebUI/appsettings.json as follows:

  "UseInMemoryDatabase": false,

Verify that the DefaultConnection connection string within appsettings.json points to a valid SQL Server instance.

When you run the application the database will be automatically created (if necessary) and the latest migrations will be applied.

To use dotnet-ef for your migrations first ensure that "UseInMemoryDatabase" is disabled, as described within previous section. Then, add the following flags to your command (values assume you are executing from repository root)

• --project src/Infrastructure (optional if in this folder)
• --startup-project src/WebUI
• --output-dir Persistence/Migrations

For example, to add a new migration from the root folder:

dotnet ef migrations add "SampleMigration" --project src\Infrastructure --startup-project src\WebUI --output-dir Persistence\Migrations

The main branch is now on .NET 8.0. The following previous versions are available:

• 7.0
• 6.0
• 5.0
• 3.1

• Clean Architecture with ASP.NET Core 3.0 (GOTO 2019)
• Clean Architecture with .NET Core: Getting Started
