A Microservice Template for visual studio using Dapr.io and Kubernetes
This VS template makes it easy to create microservices that can be deployed as Dapr applications into a Kubernetes Cluster. Includes a .VSIX project to create a VS Extention installer.
Available from the Visual Studio Marketplace : https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=IgnitionGroup.DaprMicroService
- Visual Studio 2019
- .NET Core 3.1
Install the Dapr microservice template from the link above. Once installed click on Extensions -> Manage Extensions from the menu in visual Studio. Under installed extentions you should find the Extension Installed.
To create a new project in visual studio using the template
- Add a new project by selecting File -> New Project.
