Is there a way to create a project that uses the '.esproj'

I would like to request that Rider be enhanced to include built-in support for creating and managing .esproj files directly from the IDE. Currently, when starting a new frontend project (for Angular, React, Vue, etc.), I must manually create a new file and rename it with the .esproj extension. This extra step is cumbersome and disrupts the workflow.

 

Feature Request Details:

Integrated Template Creation:

Enable Rider to offer a new project type or template option that automatically generates an .esproj file when creating a new project. This would streamline the process by removing the manual renaming step.

Framework Support:

Provide the option to choose among popular frontend frameworks (e.g., Angular, React, Vue) so that the generated .esprojfile is preconfigured with the necessary settings and structure tailored for the chosen framework.

Consistency & Productivity:

By integrating these templates directly into Rider, it will ensure that projects are set up consistently and quickly, reducing setup errors and saving valuable time for developers.

 

This feature would greatly benefit frontend developers who rely on Rider for their development environment, making the creation of projects using the .esproj extension as seamless as possible. Thank you for considering this enhancement!

 

Visual studio supports this in 2022: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/javascript/javascript-in-visual-studio?view=vs-2022
