AspNetCoreMvcTemplate

Reusable ASP.NET Core MVC starter template with Identity, Admin area, EF Core, logging, error handling, testing, and scalable project structure.

Purpose

This repository is a reusable starter template for building real-world ASP.NET Core MVC applications without repeating common setup from scratch in every new project.

The goal is to provide a clean and extensible foundation that already includes the most common application requirements, such as:

• MVC shared layout and structure
• Authentication and authorization
• ASP.NET Core Identity with custom ApplicationUser
• EF Core integration
• Admin area for managing users, roles, and claims
• Global error handling and status code pages
• Logging
• Testing setup
• Optional integrations such as localization and external login providers

This template is being built incrementally and documented as a learning + production-ready foundation for future projects.

Planned Features

• ASP.NET Core MVC project structure
• Shared layout, partials, and validation setup
• EF Core + SQL Server
• ASP.NET Core Identity
• Authentication and authorization
• Admin area
• Role and claim management
• Global exception handling
• Status code handling
• Structured logging with Serilog
• Feature flags
• Localization support
• External login providers
• Unit tests
