ABP Framework — CLI & Tooling

What problem does it solve?

It solves the confusion and trial-and-error involved in using ABP Framework’s CLI and related tooling to bootstrap solutions, create modules, manage packages, and perform common developer workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Solution & template generation: Create new ABP solutions with the right template (app, app-nolayers, microservice), UI option (including modern React-first), DBMS choice, and flags like multi-tenancy and tests.
• Module creation & lifecycle tooling: Generate DDD or modern modules, add them to an existing solution, and manage module sources and installation.
• Productivity operations: Add/update packages, manage proxies, handle localization translation workflow, upgrade open-source to PRO features, and run ABP Studio integration commands.
• Typical example: You need to rapidly start an ABP v10.4 service with a chosen database and modern UI stack, then generate a new DDD module and wire it into your solution without manual scaffolding.

Quick Start

Use the ABP Framework CLI commands from this skill to generate a new ABP v10.4 solution for Acme.BookStore using a modern template, then create and add a module to your solution.
