So for the past several months Iโve been working on this tool to scaffold out web apis (and eventually more) using a simple yaml or json file so I can stop wasting time and brainpower on boilerplate code.
I had started it out using a Clean architecture as that seemed like the gold standard in the industry. Then I came across VSA and it really spoke to me. I also posted a few weeks back asking about everyoneโs thoughts on VSA and it was really well received as well.
So that solidified it for me and I decided to take some time to rework it to a VSA set up. I spent several weeks working on it and it was essentially a complete rewrite of the tool. Itโs still pre-v1 so there are still several things to fix and new features to add, but Iโm really happy with how it turned out so far!
Some of the highlights in the current set up:
-
โ๐ง VSA instead of Onion
-
๐งช Unit, Integration, and Functional tests OOTB
-
๐ณ Dynamically generated docker databases generated for integration tests so you can test against a live db
-
๐ Authorization and policy scaffolding
-
๐ฆ Advanced filtering, sorting, and pagination
-
๐ Detailed Swagger generation
... and a lot more. Check it out ๐ฅณ
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐
It really does, I swear!
A little over a year ago I decided to take my template project a step further and start building Craftsman with the vision that I could describe my API (and additional entities as my project grows) with a yaml or json file and scaffold out all my boilerplate. These arenโt the source of truth but help get the boilerplate into your project.
Itโs not at v1 yet, but it can still save you a ton of time that could be better spent on business logic.
This most recent release was a really fun one and packs a ton of new stuff.
Some of the major items are:
- ๐ฎ .NET 6 scaffolding with scoped namespaces, implicit usings, etc.
- ๐ In-Mem Auth Server scaffolding (Identity coming soon)
- ๐ New example command to quickly see different capabilities and templates.
- ๐ FK support
- ๐ Auditable entities
- ๐งณ First class env vars
- ๐ณ Fluent docker upgrade for integration test db
- ๐ Consolidated startups
โฆ and a ton more! Check out the full release notes here.
Iโm still working towards a v1, but I think the project scaffolding is really moving in a good direction and is getting closer to a more stable position. Lots to add still, but it's at least starting to feel more mature.
PS, I started a discord channel if you want to come join us!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But thatโs comparing apples to oranges
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
BamBOO!
Theyโre on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
