Backend developers and solution architects
Starting a new .NET MVC project with multiple layers (API, MVC, Services) and need a clear architecture blueprint.
About
The GmProject (MVC) mind map template provides a comprehensive architecture overview for .NET projects following the Model-View-Controller pattern, covering 59 nodes across GmTools, Model, Controller, Service, GitVersionFetcher, GmApp, and GmProject Unit Test Project branches. It includes specific implementations like MemberApiController.cs, MemberGridController.cs, and GmApiService.cs (handling API via Refit). This GmProject (MVC) template serves as a cheat sheet for developers structuring multi-layered applications with API and MVC controllers, service interfaces, and cross-platform Git versioning.
