Project Template

Overview

Silky provides a dotnet new project template that scaffolds a complete microservice application including service interfaces, implementation projects, and a gateway.

Installation

dotnet new install Silky.App.Template

Verify installation:

dotnet new list | grep silky

Expected output:

Template Name           Short Name      Language  Tags
----------------------  --------------  --------  ---------------------
Silky Host              silky-host      C#        Silky/Microservice
Silky Gateway           silky-gateway   C#        Silky/Gateway
Silky App Solution      silky-app       C#        Silky/Solution

Creating a New Solution

Create a complete multi-project solution:

dotnet new silky-app -n MyCompany -o ./MyCompany

This generates:

MyCompany/
  MyCompany.sln
  src/
    MyCompany.GatewayHost/          # API gateway
    MyCompany.SampleService.Host/   # Business microservice host
    MyCompany.SampleService.Application/       # Application service implementation
    MyCompany.SampleService.Application.Contracts/  # Interfaces & DTOs
    MyCompany.SampleService.Domain/            # Domain entities & logic
  NuGet.Config
