Consider adding a class item template

Add dotnet new class

dotnet new class is an expected path to new users. Without it, we assume the user adds new .cs file through their file explorer or their editor. I’m contributing to docs to make this clearer, but ideally it’d be a simple command that creates a Class1.cs file in the current directory.

using System;

namespace <ParentFolder>
{
    public class Class1
    {

    }
}

Customer filed issue on this.

Hi @Mrxx99 ,

I moved your suggestion to a separate ticket for further discussion. The third point isn’t included due to existing parser restrictions and the ratio between gain/loss for the implementation.

Ah, for the parent directory, you mean the directory the project is being created in (class item in this case). That we can do, I was mis-thinking a directory one up in the path - which really makes no sense 😃. When niether the -o nor the -n option are provided, the current directory is implicitly used as the value of “name” parameter, which is usually used to replace the namespace. That’s a function of how the template is authored - easy enough to setup for this purpose.
