DotBoil is a development initiative based on .NET 9 Preview. The name is derived from the words "Dotnet" and "Boilerplate". The purpose of the DotBoil project is to automate the fundamental integrations that a developer typically implements at the start of every project. With DotBoil, I aim to have your project ready for coding in just a matter of minutes.
At this point, the following integrations have been automated for developers:
| Integration | Description |
|---|---|
| Caching | Solves caching issues in your project using Redis. |
| CORS | Allows for quick and easy configuration of CORS settings. |
| EntityFrameworkCore | Simplifies database operations using the repository pattern and supports interceptor structures. |
| Email Integrations | Quickly set up email integration for notifications and alerts to your users. |
| Health Check | Monitor the health of your project's dependencies, as well as the overall health of your project. |
| Logging | Implement logging with Serilog infrastructure, fully compatible with custom sinks. |
| AutoMapper | Create AutoMapper profiles and eliminate mapping issues easily. |
| MassTransit | Use the inbox & outbox pattern for queuing, ensuring smooth messaging with RabbitMQ and MySQL. |
| Swagger | Document your project quickly and efficiently. |
| Template Engine | Use Razor syntax to create email and message templates in your project. |
| FluentValidator | Automate validation for the models in your project. |
| API Versioning | Automate API versioning and handle deprecation of versions seamlessly. |
| Localization | Provides multilingual support for applications using Redis and MySQL. |
| Parameters | Manages application parameters using Redis and MySQL. |
The following packages are planned for future integration:
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| Pagination and Sorting | Implements sorting and pagination operations in database tables using EntityFrameworkCore. |
| Authentication & Authorization | Creates a membership system based on tenant and OAuth 2.0 protocol, handling authorization for created memberships. |
The primary goal of DotBoil is to simplify the project setup process, saving developers valuable time by reducing repetitive setup tasks. Whether you are starting a new API or web application, DotBoil provides a solid foundation to begin your development efforts immediately.
