dotnet-scaffold command #4588
Description
dotnet-scaffold
NAME
dotnet-scaffold -- Code Generation tools for .Net framework
SYNOPSIS
dotnet-scaffold [options] [generator specific options]
DESCRIPTION
The dotnet-scaffold command is used to scaffold code for your application. Scaffolded code is generated by code generators. The code generators are specified as dependencies in the application's project.json. Every code generator is identified by a 'generator-name'. Only one 'generator' can be invoked by a command. (i.e. cannot chain multiple code generators in a single command)
The generator can be installed as a nuget package using the 'dependencies' specified. If the specified dependencies could not be installed, the command will exit with an error.
If no 'generator' is found the command will exit with an error.
If more than one 'generator' is found with the same name, the command will exit with an error.
Options
-p, --project [path] Path to project.json-r, --relativeOutputPath [path] **
Path relative to the project.json where the scaffolded code should be created
-d, --dependencies [dep1:ver1 dep2:ver2 …]
A delimited list of nuget packages that are needed for the generator.
-n, --name [Name] **
Name of the primary class/ file being generated.
-f, --force **
Flag to indicate whether to overwrite existing files.
[generator specific options] **
Options and flags that can be used by individual generators.
** These options will be passed to the specific generator being invoked and the behavior will be controlled by the specific generator.
EXAMPLES
dotnet scaffold controller --project .\project.json --relativeOutputPath .\Controllers --name EmptyController --noViews
