Dynamics 365 Kickstart

This Yeoman generator allows you to quickly generate a Visual Studio Solution with the required components for working with Dynamics 365 CE. It includes a plugin, workflow, and scripts project. The scripts are based on the DAXIF framework from Delegate A/S. This allows you to quickly deploy plugins and workflows from your code without having to use other tools.

Our generator is still currently in development. As we will add features to allow you to generate a webresources project. I would also like to add a YAML build file to allow us to quickly setup build and release pipelines for new projects.

Why has this generator been created

We created this to quickly deploy new projects and limit our setup time. This allows us to quickly start with writing the business code instead of spending a lot of time on the setup.

When a new teammember joins us this will allow him to setup up a project as well. Because of this generator we can be sure that all our projects work in the same way.
