Yeoman generator for ASP.NET vNext projects
[](https://github.com/OmniSharp/generator-aspnet 'ASP.NET 5 Generator')
## Getting Started
- Install: `npm install -g generator-aspnet`
- Run: `yo aspnet`
## Usage
* `yo aspnet` shows a wizard for generating a new ASP.NET app
* `yo aspnet --gulp` generates gulp.js files for **web** template instead of grunt.js
* `yo aspnet --help` shows flags and other configurable options
## Template projects
Full, template based projects available in generator:
- Empty Application
- Console Application
- Web Application
- Web API Application
- Nancy ASP.NET Application
- Class Library
The Empty Application, Web Application, Web API Application are based on the new templates recently introduced with Visual Studio CTP 6 release, and you can read about this new templates on blog post accompanying CTP 6 release:
[ASP.NET 5 Updates and other improvements for Web Developers in Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2015/02/23/aspnet-5-updates-for-feb-2015.aspx)
The Nancy project is based on framework's "Hello World" template:

## Related yeoman generators
The goal of ```generator-aspnet``` is to provide an experience consistent with creating new ASP.NET 5 (_DNX_) projects
and files in Visual Studio 2015. Below are some other related generators that you may be interested in.
### ```generator-csharp```
[```generator-csharp```](https://github.com/OmniSharp/generator-csharp) is a work in progress but is available for you to try out today. The goal of [```generator-csharp```](https://github.com/OmniSharp/generator-csharp) is to provide an experience consistent with creating C# projects (_MSBuild based, not DNX_) and files in Visual Studio 2015.
### ```generator-aspnet-xtianus```
[```generator-aspnet-xtianus```](https://github.com/xtianus79/generator-aspnet) is an extension of OmniSharp/generator-aspnet that comes with a special Foundation 5 SASS/SCSS framework ready out of the box with wiredep & other grunt tasks for advanced front-end development. Look for => [```Starter Web Application - Foundation 5```](https://github.com/xtianus79/generator-aspnet/blob/master/templates/projects/foundation5/README.md). The other goal of this generator is to provide alternative templates to the traditional ASP.NET Visual Studio templates. More templates will become housed under this fork in the near future. Feel free to participate and learn more about [```generator-aspnet-xtianus```](https://github.com/xtianus79/generator-aspnet).
