Here’s one for the ether…
CodeSmith Templates (Including MEAN Web Service)
I’ll stick this here for right now, however the link points to a fairly useful set of templates to allow .NET developers, like me, to quickly bootstrap a complete MEAN Stack API web service from an existing SQL Server database. I regularly make updates and have been using them without issue for months.
Some features the templates provide:
- Generates full Mongoose / MongoDB models from SQL Server
- Index-based proxy operations … no index = no method
- Helps protect against wasteful ad-hoc queries
- Identity to UID conversion
- Use int / bigint during dev & UID in production
- DTO & data field name alternates to minimize wasted bytes
- Audit trail support including row version and user reference
- Non-destructive deletes … locked away instead of blown away
- And, oh yeah, convert SQL Server to MEAN Stack and JavaScript!
Anyway, they’re just floating around out there currently. Eventually I’ll throw up a walkthrough video somewhere. In the meantime, if you find them, feel free to use them.
