EmptyWebApiProjectTemplate

This is a much emptier project template for ASP.NET Web API. The concepts are adapted from here.

Installation

• MAKE SURE ALL INSTANCES OF VISUAL STUDIO ARE CLOSED!
• Run the 'build.cmd' batch file to make the VSIX installer for the template. Then double-click the .vsix file to install.

The batch file creates the project package (a zip file) and packages the template up in the Visual Studio installer extensible package (VSIX).

Credits

• Phil Haack initially published the instructions.
• Thomas Jaskula has twitted about the empty Web API template.
