Mkmvc.Tool

A .NET global tool that generates a complete MVC N‑Tier architecture from a single command.
It creates a solution with Web, BLL, and DAL projects, configures EF Core for SQL Server, initializes user secrets, injects DbContext into Program.cs, and prepares the solution for development.

Features

  • Generates a solution and three projects:
    • Web (ASP.NET Core MVC)
    • BLL (Business Logic Layer)
    • DAL (Data Access Layer)
  • Adds project references: Web -> BLL -> DAL
  • Creates AppDbContext in the DAL project
  • Adds EF Core packages to the DAL project
  • Initializes user secrets in the Web project and sets a default connection string
  • Injects AddUserSecrets and AddDbContext<AppDbContext> into Program.cs
  • Removes default Class1.cs from class library projects
  • Initializes Git and creates a .gitignore
  • Builds the solution after generation

Requirements

  • .NET SDK 8 or later
  • SQL Server for the default connection string (localhost:1433)
  • Git (optional but recommended)

Usage

Basic usage:

  mkmvc <ProjectName> <DatabaseName>

Generated layout:

MvcTest.sln
MvcTest.Web/
MvcTest.BLL/
MvcTest.DAL/
