Microsoft.UI.Reactor.ProjectTemplates 0.1.0-preview.5

Microsoft.UI.Reactor.ProjectTemplates

dotnet new templates for scaffolding Microsoft.UI.Reactor apps — a ready-to-run WinUI 3 Reactor project in one command.

About

This package installs project templates for the .NET CLI and Visual Studio so you can create a new declarative WinUI 3 desktop app powered by Reactor without wiring up the project by hand.

How to Use

Install the templates:

dotnet new install Microsoft.UI.Reactor.ProjectTemplates

Create a new Reactor app:

dotnet new reactorapp -n MyApp
cd MyApp
dotnet run -p:Platform=x64

This scaffolds a runnable WinUI 3 project that references Microsoft.UI.Reactor and the Windows App SDK, with a root component already wired up through ReactorApp.Run.

Template options

• --NativeAot (bool, default false) — configure the project for Native AOT publishing.
• --UseProgramMain (bool, default false) — generate an explicit Program.Main instead of top-level statements.
• --Framework <tfm> (default net10.0) — choose the target framework.

# Example: a Native AOT-ready app with an explicit Main method
dotnet new reactorapp -n MyApp --NativeAot --UseProgramMain

Included Templates

• Microsoft WinUI Reactor App (short name reactorapp) — a Windows WinUI 3 application using Reactor (C#).
