What can this NuGet package do?

Biss.Apps.Template.ExchangeTemplate is a dotnet template package that scaffolds a BISS exchange model project for sharing data contracts between client and server applications. This template creates a class library containing DTO (Data Transfer Object) classes, enums, and shared models used for API communication and data exchange. It follows BISS naming conventions with Ex{Entity} prefixes for DTOs, includes serialization attributes for JSON and XML, and provides a clean separation between database entities and API contracts. The project is designed to be referenced by both frontend (BaseApp, MAUI, Blazor) and backend (ConnectivityHost, Database) layers.

What are the core features?

• DTO Class Structure - Models folder with Ex{Entity} classes for data transfer objects • Serialization Ready - Pre-configured JSON and XML serialization attributes and converters • Enum Definitions - Shared enumerations for status values, types, and constants • Validation Attributes - Data annotation attributes for model validation on both client and server • Documentation - XML documentation comments for all public types and properties • Null Safety - Nullable reference types enabled with proper null handling patterns • Reusable Contracts - Shared across BaseApp, Database, and ConnectivityHost projects • Extension Methods - Helper methods for model transformation and validation • Template Parameters - Customizable project name, namespace, and model naming conventions
