dotnet new templates for Uno Platform

The Uno Platform provides a set of command line templates to create cross platform applications.

To install the templates, type the following:

dotnet new -i Uno.ProjectTemplates.Dotnet

If you need to determine the parameters available for a template use dotnet new [templatename] -h.

Uno Platform Blank Application

This template can be used to create a blank cross-platform application for iOS, Android, WebAssembly macOS, Skia/GTK (Windows, Linux, macOS) and Skia/Wpf (Windows 7 and 10).

A basic example:

dotnet new unoapp -o MyApp

A more advanced example which will not generate the android and macOS heads:

dotnet new unoapp -o MyApp -android=false -macos=false

Uno Platform Blank Application for WinUI 3.0 - Preview

This template can be used to create a blank cross-platform application for iOS, Android, WebAssembly and macOS which uses the new WinUI 3.0 apis.

A basic example:

dotnet new unoapp-winui -o MyApp

Once the application is created, make sure that the following code is present in the App.xaml file:

<Application.Resources> 
    <XamlControlsResources xmlns="using:Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls" /> 
</Application.Resources>

Uno Platform Blank library

This template can be used to create a blank library. With this type of library, Skia and WebAssembly do not need to built separately, but cannot be differentiated.

A basic example:

dotnet new unolib -o MyUnoLib

Uno Platform Blank Cross-Runtime library

This template can be used to create a blank cross-runtime library, when platform specific code needs to be created for Skia and WebAssembly.

A basic example:

dotnet new unolib-crossruntime -o MyCrossRuntimeLibrary

Uno Platform Blank Prism Application

This template is specializing in the creation of a Prism Library enabled blank application.

A basic example:

dotnet new unoapp-prism -o MyApp

A more advanced example which will not generate the android and macOS heads:

dotnet new unoapp -o MyApp -android=false -macos=false

Uno Platform Uno.UITest library

Considering you've created an application as follows:

  • dotnet new unoapp -o MyApp

This will automatically add the new project to the existing solution.

For additional information about UI Tests creation, visit the Uno.UITest documentation.
