Using Arcus templates in Visual Studio

The available .NET project templates in this repository are all available via the command line. For example:

PM > dotnet new --install Arcus.Templates.WebApi

Which will install the template on your machine so it can be used for creating new projects:

> dotnet new arcus-webapi --name Arcus.Demo.WebAPI

However, you can also use our .NET templates in Visual Studio by following these steps:

  1. Go to Tools > Options in Visual Studio
  2. Navigate to Preview Features
  3. Check the box Show all .NET Core templates in the New project dialog

Show all .NET Core templates in the New project dialog via Tools > Options > Preview Features

Once you've enabled it, you can create a new project by using one of our templates:
