dotnet-template-azure-iot-edge-function

dotnet template to do scaffolding for Azure IoT Edge Function development.

This README will introduce how to install the dotnet template and then create Edge Function with the template step by step. The template will set up all necessary files for you to focus on functionality programming.

Get Started

Make sure you have .Net Core 3.1 SDK installed.

Run dotnet command to install the template:

dotnet new -i Microsoft.Azure.IoT.Edge.Function

You could find our template with short name aziotedgefunction in the output:
