netcore-blueprint/README.md

A custom .NET Core project blueprint

1. Create the blueprint
	- create a new project
	- Set up Node.js package for the blueprint
		+ Create the folder netcore-blueprint in the root directory, and initialize a new Node.js package: 
			mkdir netcore-blueprint
			cd netcore-blueprint
			npm init -y
		+ Add a bin field in package.json to define the command that will execute the blueprint: 
			"bin": {
			  "truongdx8-netcore-blueprint": "./create.js"
			}
		+ Add dependencies like fs and path if needed
	- Write the script to copy the Blueprint files
		+ Create an create.js file in the netcore-blueprint directory
		+ In create.js file, write the code to copy .NET Core template files to a new directory with the provided project name: 
			#!/usr/bin/env node

			const fs = require("fs");
			const path = require("path");

			const projectName = process.argv[2];
			if (!projectName) {
			  console.error("Please specify the project name.");
			  process.exit(1);
			}

			// Define paths
			const templatePath = path.join(__dirname, "../"); // Root of the template
			const destinationPath = path.join(process.cwd(), projectName);

			function copyTemplateFiles(src, dest) {
			  fs.mkdirSync(dest, { recursive: true });
			  fs.readdirSync(src).forEach((file) => {
				const srcPath = path.join(src, file);
				const destPath = path.join(dest, file);
				if (fs.statSync(srcPath).isDirectory()) {
				  copyTemplateFiles(srcPath, destPath);
				} else {
				  fs.copyFileSync(srcPath, destPath);
				}
			  });
			}

			// Copy everything from the template to the new project directory
			copyTemplateFiles(templatePath, destinationPath);

			console.log(`Project ${projectName} created at ${destinationPath}`);

		+ Make create.js executable: 
			. chmod +x create.js
		+ Test: node create.js innocons
	- Publish the Package to npm: 
		+ npm login
		+ npm publish --access public
		+ npm cache clean --force
	- Use the blueprint: 
		+ npm uninstall -g netcore-blueprint
		+ npm install -g netcore-blueprint
		+ npm list -g netcore-blueprint
		+ netcore-blueprint innocons
2. Start a new project: 
	- Git: 
		+ Add gitignore & git
		+ Change branch name from master to main 
			. git branch -m main
			. Create repo without README file
			. Push the first commit: 
				git remote add origin <REMOTE_URL>
				git push origin main
	- Add routing: 
		+ Add some first components
		+ Add routing in app-routing.module.ts
	- content.component: Add header & footer
	- Add content to each new component
