.NET MAUI – Item Templates – Made Easy on CLI and VS Code

Even though the All-in-One item templates have the same set of features in VS2022 and on the CLI. The CLI has its own limitations and here are the notable ones:

  1. The namespace resolution is not on par with its VS counterpart
    • On CLI – Defaults to the root namespace
    • Whereas in VS to the exact folder where the item is created
  2. A lot of (repeated) typing is required
    • The underlying reason is CLI’s named parameters design
