Installation

Prerequisites

• .Net 6.0 SDK

Semi-Optional

Docker and dotnet ef are needed for a mock integration test database. You do NOT need these to run the project, but they will be needed to use the built in tests.

• Docker
• dotnet ef

Getting Started

1. Install the Craftsman tool globally. This is going to be the workhorse behind all of our commands. Make sure to close your powershell/command prompt/terminal windows after your initial install!

   dotnet tool install -g craftsman

   If you are using private NuGet sources you may need to temporarily disable them to properly install the tool. Unfortunately, the dotnet sdk doesn't have a –nuget-source parameter for dotnet tool install commands yet, though I have a feature request pending if you'd like to track its progress.`

2. Run any of the below for a list of available commands

   craftsman 
   craftsman list
   craftsman -h
   craftsman --help

3. That's it! Now let's look at an example to see it in action.

You can also run craftsman new:example to create one of several example projects.

Updating Craftsman

To update to the latest version of Craftsman, you can run:

dotnet tool update -g craftsman
