Install template issue

Hey Neozhu,

I’m very happy this template exists and i’m going to try to make it work. I can download the code and that will probably work. But in the readme there is a section says dotnet new ca-blazor-sln. I don’t have this command after running dotnet new --install sayedha.templates

I tried to create that template.json but that didn’t add anything to having the ‘ca-blazor-sln’ command.

Can you help/provide explanation what I should do?

@neozhu thank you the update made it more clear! I am coming from this repo (https://github.com/jasontaylordev/CleanArchitecture and this guy put it in like the official library. So I was confused that I first had to download the repo, then create my own local .net template to install it somewhere else locally.

I would add the steps like

1. Download/Clone this repo
2. Unzip
3. Run dotnet new install ./ //this puts the repo into a local .net template

(This all is in your implicit if I take a good look at your screenshot) but its not obvious to me as a new dotnet template user coming from a repo that has 1 line I need to execute.

I create a nuget library https://www.nuget.org/packages/CleanArchitecture.Blazor.Solution.Template/1.0.0-preview.1 and I add build package action to deploy to nuget when pushing the branch main.

I am not sure it’s working.

I think you can now use templates to create your own projects, including new namespaces. I’ll update the content of the readme, and some tests and adjustments may still need to be made.
