Get Started

Great that you've decided to create a new application with ABP. ABP provides multiple startup templates for different needs. Each startup template is a fine-tuned and production-ready .NET solution that you can immediately start to develop your application based on it.

Please select one of the following documents best fits for your application:

• Single-Layer Solution: Creates a single-project solution. Recommended for building an application with a simpler and easy to understand architecture.
• Application (Layered): A fully layered (multiple projects) solution based on Domain Driven Design practices. Recommended for long-term projects that need a maintainable and extensible codebase.
• Microservice Solution: A distributed solution to build microservice systems. It includes pre-built services, API gateways, web and mobile applications, Kubernetes and Helm configuration, and everything you need to start your large-scale microservice solution.
• Others
  • Empty ASP.NET Core Application
  • MAUI Application
  • WPF Application
  • Console Application

If you are choosing between the Modern and Classic ABP Studio template families, see Modern vs Classic Templates. If you seek a React-based web UI, use the modern template system with ABP Studio or abp new --modern. See UI options for the full list of officially supported UI frameworks.
