DisCatSharp.ProjectTemplates

Template pack for building DisCatSharp-based .NET applications.

Included templates

Template	Short name	What it creates
DisCatSharp Bot Template	DCSBot	A bot class library intended to be hosted by another app
DisCatSharp Solution Template	DCSSolution	An ASP.NET Core host plus a bot project in one .slnx solution
DisCatSharp Web App Template	DCSWebApp	An ASP.NET Core host

Install

dotnet new install DisCatSharp.ProjectTemplates

Usage

Create the bot class library:

dotnet new DCSBot -n MyBot --DiscordToken "DISCORD_TOKEN"

Create the hosted solution:

dotnet new DCSSolution -n MyBot --DiscordToken "DISCORD_TOKEN"

Create the web app host:

dotnet new DCSWebApp -n MyWebHost

To see the full parameter list for either template:

dotnet new DCSBot --help
dotnet new DCSSolution --help
dotnet new DCSWebApp --help

Available options

The bot and solution templates support these DisCatSharp module switches:

• --UseApplicationCommands
• --AddTranslations (requires --UseApplicationCommands)
• --UseCommandsNext
• --UseCommon
• --UseInteractivity
• --UseLavalink
• --UseVoice
• --UseVoiceNatives

The standalone DCSWebApp template is just the ASP.NET Core host shell, so it intentionally has no custom template options.

Generated configuration

The bot settings file uses the current nested DiscordConfiguration model. The generated DisCatSharpProjectBot.settings.json includes:

• Token
• Intents
• Gateway
• Cache
• Logging

This matches the modern DisCatSharp configuration structure and keeps gateway/cache/logging settings clearly separated.

Notes

• The solution template generates an .slnx solution file.
• Rider still has limited support for custom template parameters, so command-line usage is the safest path when you need template options.
