How to organize multiple projects in an ASP.NET CORE solution like DDD?

Question

How to create a solution of .net core? For example: 1 Web Project 3 Lib Projects

How to create it without Visual Studio?

Using VS Code or Sublime Text?

Answer 1

If you have dotnet core installed just create a root folder for your solution. Then open terminal in root folder and type for a mvc project:

dotnet new mvc -o SolutionName.Web

remember -o parameter creates a folder for new project and if it was -n project was going to be created in the folder you are in.

and for class library project

dotnet new classlib -o SolutionName.Library

cd SolutionName.Web

this line to add reference to use this library.

dotnet add reference ../SolutionName.Library/SolutionName.Library.csproj

get to root folder again

cd..

dotnet new sln -n SolutionName

we talked about -n. After we created solution we will add projects to solution.

dotnet sln add SolutionName.Web/SolutionName.Web.csproj

dotnet sln add SolutionName.Library/SolutionName.Library.csproj

dotnet build

if you are using vs code just type

code .

in the root of solution in terminal and you will start coding.

Answer 2

Here is an example project referenced from Microsofts Docs website ( https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnWeb ). As you can see, inside of the src folder they break up the 'solution' into three 'projects', 'web', 'infrastructure' and 'applicationCore'.

Answer 3

This is one way to do it using PowerShell and the dotnet command line interface .

Create directories for the Web and Lib projects.

New-Item -Type Directory Web             
New-Item -Type Directory Lib01           
New-Item -Type Directory Lib02           
New-Item -Type Directory Lib03          

Create the Web Project

cd .\Web\                                
dotnet new --lang C# --type Web          
cd ..                     

Create the three Lib projects.

cd .\Lib01\                              
dotnet new --lang C# --type Lib          
cd ..                                    

cd .\Lib02\                              
dotnet new --lang C# --type Lib          
cd ..                                     

cd .\Lib03\                              
dotnet new --lang C# --type Lib          
cd ..
