Get your apps up and running in no time

For a lot of developers, the tedious task is to setup the initial project. If you are just starting with a new technology, it becomes a hassle. This might lead to issues in the project repo later on. One way to make sure that things are setup just fine is to use a boilerplate and ASP.NET boilerplate is one of them.
It is a general purpose application framework designed for modern web applications which provides a strong code template to get started.

Advantages of ASP.NET BoilerPlate

The following are some advantages of using ASP.NET BoilerPlate:

  • It gets your app setup and running in no time. It takes care of all the initial setup required including authentication, authorization, logging, exception handling, auto mapping, localization, multi-tenancy along with features like dependency injection, unit of work etc..
  • It offers a module based approach, in which the modules can be used in a plug-and-play way.
  • It has a well written documentation.
  • It offers compatibility with all modern frameworks like React, Angular, Vue etc...
  • It is open source and the free version has a lot of features.

Using ASP.NET boilerplate

To download the boiler plate code for your application, visit ASP.NET template. Choose a template as per your requirement. For this article, let's choose React.
