DevTem.Templates 0.1.5

DevTem Templates

dotnet new templates for production-ready WinUI 3 desktop apps (.NET 10) plus an MVVM content-page scaffolder. Install once, scaffold in seconds — in the terminal or Visual Studio's New Project dialog (same engine).

dotnet new install DevTem.Templates

devtem-winui — full desktop app

Unpackaged WinUI 3 app: Mica window, system tray, Velopack auto-updates, optional SQLite and HTTP services, 3-language UI (EN/ES/FR), persisted settings, Serilog logging + optional Sentry crash reports, MSIX packaging script, release pipeline.

dotnet new devtem-winui -n AcmeDesk --displayName "Acme Desk" --company "Acme" `
    --repo "acme/desk-app" --scheme "acme://" --tray false

Names with spaces work (-n "My App" → My_App identifiers and files). In Visual Studio the parameters render as dialog fields and checkboxes. Every generated project also includes docs/FEATURES.md, which records the selected options and next steps; disabled feature guides are omitted.

Profile presets

The template keeps one composable set of feature switches. These stable presets provide coherent starting points without hiding the individual options:

Apply a preset by copying its flags into the scaffold command, then change any individual flag as needed. Individual flags are authoritative; there is no separate --profile parameter.

devtem-page — content page

XAML + code-behind (INavigationAware, localization, responsive) + transient ViewModel + MSTest stub. Wire-up (strings, DI, route) takes ~5 minutes; the generated test proves the strings landed in all languages.

dotnet new devtem-page -n Orders
