The `abp new` command creates an ABP solution or other artifacts based on an ABP template. ABP CLI has several parameters to create a new ABP solution. In this document we will show you some sample commands to create a new solution. All the project names are `Acme.BookStore`. Currently, the only available mobile project is a `React Native` mobile app. Available database providers are `Entity Framework Core` and `MongoDB`. All the commands starts with `abp new`.
## Angular
The following commands are for creating Angular UI projects:
* **Entity Framework Core**, no mobile app, creates the project in a new folder:
````bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -u angular --mobile none --database-provider ef -csf
````
* **Entity Framework Core**, default app template, **separate Identity Server**, creates the project in a new folder:
* **MongoDB**, **tier architecture**, creates the project in a new folder:
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -u mvc --tiered --database-provider mongodb -csf
```
## Blazor
The following commands are for creating Blazor projects:
* **Entity Framework Core**, no mobile app:
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -t app -u blazor --mobile none
```
* **Entity Framework Core**, **separate Identity Server**, mobile app included:
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -u blazor --separate-identity-server
```
* **MongoDB**, no mobile app, creates the project in a new folder:
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -u blazor --database-provider mongodb --mobile none -csf
```
## No UI
In the default app template, there is always a frontend project. In this option there is no frontend project. It has a `HttpApi.Host` project to serve your HTTP WebAPIs. It's appropriate if you want to create a WebAPI service.
* **Entity Framework Core**, separate Identity Server, creates the project in a new folder:
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -u none --separate-identity-server -csf
```
* **MongoDB**, no mobile app:
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -u none --mobile none --database-provider mongodb
```
## Console application
It's a template of a basic .NET console application with ABP module architecture integrated. To create a console application use the following command:
* This project consists of the following files: `Acme.BookStore.csproj`, `appsettings.json`, `BookStoreHostedService.cs`, `BookStoreModule.cs`, `HelloWorldService.cs` and `Program.cs`.
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -t console -csf
```
## Module
Module are reusable sub applications used by your main project. Using ABP Module is a best practice if you are building a microservice solution. As modules are not final applications, each module has all the frontend UI projects and database providers. The module template comes with an MVC UI to be able to develop without the final solution. But if you will develop your module under a final solution, you add `--no-ui` parameter to exclude MVC UI project.
* Included frontends: `MVC`, `Angular`, `Blazor`. Included database providers: `Entity Framework Core`, `MongoDB`. Includes MVC startup project.
```bash
abp new Acme.IssueManagement -t module
```
* The same with the upper but doesn't include MVC startup project.
```bash
abp new Acme.IssueManagement -t module --no-ui
```
## Create an ABP solution from a specific version
When you create a solution, it always creates with the latest version. To create a project from an older version, you can pass the `--version` parameter.
* Create a solution from v3.3.0, with Angular UI and Entity Framework Core.
To get the ABP version list, checkout following link: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Volo.Abp.Core/
## Create from a custom template
ABP CLI uses the default [app template](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/tree/dev/templates/app) to create your project. If you want to create a new solution from your customized template, you can use the parameter `--template-source`.
* MVC UI, Entity Framework Core, no mobile app, using the template in `c:\MyProjects\templates\app` directory.
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -t app -u mvc --mobile none --database-provider ef --template-source "c:\MyProjects\templates\app"
```
* Same with the previous one except this command retrieves the template from the URL `https://myabp.com/app-template.zip`.
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -t app -u mvc --mobile none --database-provider ef --template-source https://myabp.com/app-template.zip
```
## Create a preview version
ABP CLI always uses the latest version. In order to create a solution from a preview (RC) version add the `--preview` parameter.
* Blazor UI, Entity Framework Core, no mobile, preview version, creates the project in a new folder:
The default database management system (DBMS) is `Entity Framework Core` / ` SQL Server`. You can choose a DBMS by passing `--database-management-system` parameter. Accepted values are `SqlServer`, `MySQL`, `SQLite`, `Oracle-Devart`, `PostgreSQL`. The default value is `SqlServer`.
* Angular UI, **PostgreSQL** database, creates the project in a new folder:
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore -u angular --database-management-system PostgreSQL -csf
```
## Use static HTTP ports
ABP CLI always assigns random ports to the hostable projects. If you need to keep the default ports and create a solution always with the same HTTP ports, add the parameter `--no-random-port`.
* MVC UI, Entity Framework Core, **static ports**, creates the project in a new folder:
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore --no-random-port -csf
```
## Use local ABP framework references
ABP libraries are referenced from NuGet by default in the ABP solutions. Sometimes you need to reference ABP libraries locally to your solution. This is useful to debug the framework itself. Your local ABP Framework 's root directory must have the `Volo.Abp.sln` file. You can copy the content of the following directory to your file system https://github.com/abpframework/abp/tree/dev/framework
* MVC UI, Entity Framework Core, **ABP libraries are local project references**:
The path to the ABP framework solution `C:\source\abp\framework\Volo.Abp.sln`
```bash
abp new Acme.BookStore --local-framework-ref --abp-path C:\source\abp\framework
```
**Output**:
As seen below, ABP Framework libraries are local project references.
