# MSBuild Extension template for dotnet new

This template is functional, but the documentation is still a work-in-progress. 

## Demonstrates

* Custom MSBuild task.

    * Receiving items from MSBuild as task parameters.

    * Required (mandatory) task parameter.

    * Exposing an output task parameter to send data back to MSBuild.

* Custom `.props` / `.target` files.

    * `.targets` file uses custom task.

* Generating a NuGet package with everything in the `build` folder.

    * When installed into a project via ``, the `.props` and `.targets` are automatically included in the project.

## Installing

`dotnet new -i "MSBuildExtensionTemplate::*"`
