Monica.Templates 1.0.0-rc.12

Monica Templates

Official dotnet new templates for the shortest path from an empty directory to a running Monica application.

Install from a package

dotnet new install Monica.Templates@1.0.0-rc.12
dotnet new monica-api --name Acme.Orders
cd Acme.Orders
dotnet run

Open the URL printed by ASP.NET Core, then visit:

• / for the starter discovery document
• /healthz for the ASP.NET Core health-check endpoint
• /metrics for the Prometheus scrape endpoint

Use --framework-version <VERSION> when the application must target a Monica version other than the template default.

Maintain the embedded version

The source template version should match Directory.Build.props during normal development:

python3 eng/sync-template-version.py --check

Synchronize it explicitly when preparing a versioned package:

python3 eng/sync-template-version.py --version 1.0.0

The release workflow runs the synchronization command with the resolved tag or dispatch version before building and packing.

Test a local package

dotnet pack Monica.Templates/Monica.Templates.csproj --configuration Release
dotnet new install Monica.Templates/bin/Release/Monica.Templates.*.nupkg

Package maturity

The starter intentionally references only Stable-tier packages:

• Monica.Core for host-bound composition and module lifecycle
• Monica.OpenTelemetry for production-compatible metrics

Provider integrations are opt-in after the application has a concrete infrastructure choice. Labs packages are excluded from the default template so experimental capabilities never become accidental production dependencies.
