I post a lot about the good that is Project Templates. It seems only fitting for me to blog about a new extension from Mads Kristensen that will make it much easier for you (and me) to create those templates!
Template Creator
It makes it easy to create custom project templates for ‘dot net new’ and Visual Studio.
See the changelog for changes and the roadmap.
Read more about the new template format here and how to create and customize your templates. This extension makes it easy to get started, but you need to understand how the underlying templating system works to take full advantage of it.
Features
Generate a template file
Add the Visual Studio host file
Add .NET CLI host file
Generate a template file
Right-click the project you want to turn into a template and click Create Template…
That will create a folder called .template.config and add a file called template.json to it. The folder is not being added to the project, but exists on disk in the root of the project directory.
Add Visual Studio/.NET CLI host files. To have the template show up in the ASP.NET project dialog, you need to add a Visual Studio-specific host file to the .template.config folder.
