scaffolder-dotnet-backend

Welcome to the dotnet actions for the scaffolder-backend.

This contains

• dotnet:new
• dotnet:template:install
• dotnet:build

The dotnet:new action allows the task to create dotnet templates.

Getting started

Create your Backstage application using the Backstage CLI as described here: https://backstage.io/docs/getting-started/create-an-app

Note: If you are using this plugin in a Backstage monorepo that contains the code for @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend, you need to modify your internal build processes to transpile files from the node_modules folder as well.

You need to configure the action in your backend:

From your Backstage root directory

cd packages/backend
yarn add @plusultra/plugin-scaffolder-dotnet-backend

Configure the action: (you can check the docs to see all options):

// packages/backend/src/plugins/scaffolder.ts

import { dotnetNewAction, dotnetBuildAction } from '@plusultra/plugin-scaffolder-dotnet-backend'
import { ScmIntegrations } from '@backstage/integration';

const integrations = ScmIntegrations.fromConfig(config);

const builtInActions = createBuiltinActions({
containerRunner,
integrations,
config,
catalogClient,
reader,
});

const actions = [...builtInActions, dotnetNewAction(), dotnetBuildAction()];

return await createRouter({
  containerRunner,
  logger,
  config,
  database,
  catalogClient,
  reader,
  actions,
});
