Clean Arch CLI

A .NET global tool that scaffolds a complete Clean Architecture solution in seconds. One command gives you a fully wired solution with proper project references, dependency injection, Entity Framework Core, and a test project — ready to build and run.

Features

  • Interactive CLI powered by Spectre.Console
  • Four-layer architecture: Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and Api
  • xUnit test project with FluentAssertions
  • Pre-configured project references following the dependency rule
  • NuGet packages installed automatically (EF Core, MediatR, FluentValidation, Scalar)
  • AppDbContext and IAppDbContext scaffolded and registered
  • DependencyInjection extension methods in Application and Infrastructure
  • Program.cs configured with controllers, OpenAPI, and Scalar
  • Connection string pre-configured in appsettings.json
  • .gitignore (standard Visual Studio template)

Prerequisites

Installation

dotnet tool install -g CleanArchScaffolder

Usage

clean-arch

You will be prompted to enter a solution name. The tool then generates the full project structure in the current directory.

Project References

Api --> Infrastructure --> Application --> Domain
Application.Tests --> Application

The Api layer depends on Infrastructure, which depends on Application, which depends on Domain. This enforces the Clean Architecture dependency rule — inner layers never reference outer layers.
