K Gen code generation in Mac that experiences ASP. NET 5 Beta2

A new feature has been added to the ASP. NET 5 Beta2 (see ASP. 5 Beta2 release), and you can generate MVC code with the K command, such as K Gen Controller-name HomeController.

If you are using Visual Studio, you naturally disagree with this feature because Visual Studio helped you do it.

If you're using a Mac, no Visual Studio, and no K studio, and you don't want to self-abuse the MVC code generated by the template, this feature deserves attention.

Because the MAC writes ASP. NET code for a long time, discover this feature, immediately want to try. But there is no relevant information on the Internet, can only explore their own.

first in Project.json's dependencies Change all 1.0.0-beta1 to 1.0.0-beta2, which is the package that is upgraded to ASP. NET 5 Beta2.

{"    dependencies": {        "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.IIS": "1.0.0-beta2",        " Microsoft.AspNet.Diagnostics ":" 1.0.0-beta2 ",        " Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting ":" 1.0.0-beta2 ",        "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener": "1.0.0-beta2",        "Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles": " 1.0.0-beta2 "  }}

the next step is to add gen function (K gen) to K, Add the following configuration to Project.json's commands and tell K to find this command in the Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration package:

{"   commands": {          "gen": "Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration"   }}

The next step is to download the Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration package, which is KPM dry work, add references in Project.json dependencies, and run KPM restore:

{    "dependencies": {            "Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration": "1.0.0-beta2"  }} 

KPM Restore

The original thought this is done, the result of running K gen Controller-name homecontroller error message:

' Controller '

So stuck here, almost give up.

Later, think of a special package for the controller's code generation, on GitHub to browse the ASP. Repo List found an east:

Scaffolding-code generators to speed up development

Maybe this job is scaffolding. See a blog link on the ASP.--how to customize scaffolding templates for ASP. Scaffolding, after reading this blog post, The original controller's code generation is MICROSOFT.FRAMEWORK.CODEGENERATORS.MVC responsible.

Then, add the MICROSOFT.FRAMEWORK.CODEGENERATORS.MVC in the Project.json dependencies:

{    "dependencies": {        "Microsoft.Framework.CodeGeneration": "1.0.0-beta2",        "  MICROSOFT.FRAMEWORK.CODEGENERATORS.MVC""1.0.0-beta2"    }} 

Then KPM restore, the result nuget/myget server jerks, restore an afternoon plus night, until the 2nd day of the morning to restore success.

Then run the K gen Controller-name HomeController , and it succeeds:

6.0.0-* to the application.
