ASP.NET Boilerplate is a starting point for new modern ASP.NET MVC web applications with best practices and most popular tools!
ASP.NET Boilerplate implements NLayer architecture and Domain Driven Design with these tools:
- Server side
- ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web API (as web framework)
- Castle windsor (as Dependency Injection container)
- EntityFramework or NHibernate+FluentNHibernate+FluentMigrations (for ORM and DB migrations)
- Log4Net (for logging)
- AutoMapper (for DTO adapters and other mappings)
- Client side
- Twitter bootstrap (as HTML & CSS framework)
- Less (as CSS pre-compiler)
- AngularJs or DurandalJs (as Single Page Application (SPA) framework)
- jQuery (as DOM & Ajax library)
- Modernizr (for feature detection)
- Other JS libraries: jQuery.validate, jQuery.form, jQuery.blockUI, json2
It adds it's own techniques such as:
- Modular architecture
- Unit of work implementation
- Event bus implementation for domain events
- Easily working with embedded resources
- Auto-creating Web API layer for Application Services
- Auto-creating Javascript proxy layer to use Web API layer
- Javascript helper methods for ajax, notifications, message boxes, making UI busy...
Also adds standard stuff:
- Localization
- Exception handling
- Validation
- Logging
Beside the framework, the first module (https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/module-zero) is being developed to implement:
- Authentication & Authorization (Implementing ASP.NET Identity Framework)
- User & Role management
- Setting management
- Audit logging
