OpenRasta RESTful Template

15. June 2011 Uncategorized 1

Lately I’ve been working with OpenRasta to create some RESTful services for .NET.  I absolutely love it.  It has built in DependencyInjection, but also allows you to wire up Castle or Ninject if you’d prefer.  The one thing I didn’t like about it was there was no NuGet package.  Additionally, each time I created a new project, I’d have to go through the same steps.

In all honesty, I only did it twice.  After the second time, I decided there had to be a better way.  I created a template for Visual Studio 2010 called OpenRasta Template.  It can be found at my BitBucket (https://bitbucket.org/taylonr/templates/overview) repository.

I’ve pushed up the code, but to actually use it, I believe you’ll just need to download the source, zip it up and then import the zip file into VS.

Have fun, and if I missed anything in there, let me know.
