Steeltoe 2.1 Visual Studio Template Projects

Project templates for creating RESTful api microservices using the Steeltoe framework, in Visual Studio. Templates include a base version (for any platform) and a Cloud Foundry version. Choose between targeting .NET Core or Framework on Windows or Linux.

Getting Started

The templates are based on the C# web api template but have been simplified to only offer RESTful endpoints and use Steeltoe for many of the cloud-native functions like managing environment variables and streaming logs. Each template targets a specific runtime and operating system combination (ie: .NET Core on Linux).

Once downloaded close Visual Studio and click the VSIX file to begin install. All templates are included in this offline VSIX version. To get started, create a new project File > New > Project > Installed > Visual C# and behold the wonderful world of Steeltoe!

**NOTE: for the framework projects, you will need to restore all packages. Once Visual Studio has completely loaded the project, right click on References and choose Manage Nuget Packages. This new window should offer an option at the top to Restore. Click it and let Visual Studio retrieve the needed packages to publish the project.
