Firebase Studio Template: .NET 10 File-based App

A simple ASP.NET Core application demonstrating the new .NET 10 file-based application feature with Minimal APIs. This single-file approach provides a clean and simple project structure, perfect for small applications, prototypes, and learning purposes.

Quick Start

Click the button below to create a workspace from this template:

Getting Started

The server should run automatically when you start the workspace. To run it manually, use the following command in the terminal:

dotnet run Program.cs

The application will start on port 3000 by default (configurable via PORT environment variable).

Project Structure

├── Program.cs          # Main application file with embedded SDK configuration
├── .idx/               # Firebase Studio (IDX) configuration
│   ├── dev.nix         # Nix-based development environment
│   └── mcp.json        # MCP server configuration
├── .vscode/            # VS Code settings and extensions
├── GEMINI.md           # Gemini AI context file
└── README.md           # This file

How It Works

The Program.cs file uses .NET 10's file-based application feature with special directives:

#!/usr/bin/env dotnet
#:sdk Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web
#:property PublishAot=false

• #!/usr/bin/env dotnet - Shebang for direct execution
• #:sdk - Specifies the SDK to use
• #:property - Sets MSBuild properties inline

Features

• ASP.NET Core 10: Built on the latest .NET 10 preview with file-based app support.
• Single-File Application: No .csproj file required - SDK and properties defined inline.
• Minimal APIs: A streamlined way to build fast HTTP APIs with minimal boilerplate.
• Environment Variables: Configurable via PORT and TARGET environment variables.
• Ready for IDX: Pre-configured to run in Google's Firebase Studio (IDX) environment.
• Microsoft Learn MCP Server: Integrated MCP server for enhanced AI-assisted development.

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
PORT	3000	The port number the server listens on
TARGET	World	The greeting target (e.g., "Hello World!")

Docker Support

⚠️ Coming Soon: Docker container support is currently on hold due to version compatibility issues. This feature will be available in a future update.
