Dotnet Skill
VanDaemon targets .NET 10 across all projects. The solution uses a Clean Architecture layout with separate projects for API, Application, Core, Infrastructure, Plugins, and Frontend (Blazor WASM). All projects share consistent nullable reference types, JSON enum serialization, and structured logging patterns.
Quick Start
Build and Run
bash
# Build entire solution dotnet build VanDaemon.sln # Run API (terminal 1) cd src/Backend/VanDaemon.Api && dotnet run # Run Blazor frontend (terminal 2) cd src/Frontend/VanDaemon.Web && dotnet run # Run tests dotnet test VanDaemon.sln
Create New Project
bash
# Create class library in plugins folder dotnet new classlib -n VanDaemon.Plugins.NewPlugin -o src/Backend/VanDaemon.Plugins/NewPlugin # Add to solution dotnet sln VanDaemon.sln add src/Backend/VanDaemon.Plugins/NewPlugin/VanDaemon.Plugins.NewPlugin.csproj # Add project reference dotnet add src/Backend/VanDaemon.Api/VanDaemon.Api.csproj reference src/Backend/VanDaemon.Plugins/NewPlugin/VanDaemon.Plugins.NewPlugin.csproj
Key Concepts
| Concept | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Target Framework | All projects use net10.0 | <TargetFramework>net10.0</TargetFramework> |
| Nullable Types | Enabled globally | <Nullable>enable</Nullable> |
| Implicit Usings | Enabled for cleaner code | <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings> |
| JSON Enums | Strings via converter | JsonStringEnumConverter in serializer options |
| CancellationToken | All async methods accept optional token | Task<T> GetAsync(CancellationToken ct = default) |
Common Patterns
Project Reference Chain
code
VanDaemon.Api
├── VanDaemon.Application
│ └── VanDaemon.Core
├── VanDaemon.Plugins.Abstractions
└── VanDaemon.Plugins.* (each plugin)
└── VanDaemon.Plugins.Abstractions
NuGet Package Management
bash
# Add package to specific project dotnet add src/Backend/VanDaemon.Api/VanDaemon.Api.csproj package Serilog.AspNetCore # Update all packages in solution dotnet outdated --upgrade
Configuration Binding
csharp
// appsettings.json section
builder.Services.Configure<MqttLedDimmerOptions>(
builder.Configuration.GetSection("MqttLedDimmer"));
