dotnet-template-azure-iot-edge-module

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

This README will introduce how to install the dotnet template and then create Azure IoT Edge module 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 8.0 SDK installed.

Run dotnet command to install the template:

dotnet new install Microsoft.Azure.IoT.Edge.Module

You could find the template with short name aziotedgemodule in output:

Support

The team monitors the issue section on regular basis and will try to assist with troubleshooting or questions related IoT Edge tools on a best effort basis.

A few tips before opening an issue. Try to generalize the problem as much as possible. Examples include

• Removing 3rd party components
• Reproduce the issue with provided deployment manifest used
• Specify whether issue is reproducible on physical device or simulated device or both Also, Consider consulting on the docker docs channel for general docker questions.
