dotnet template to do scaffolding for Azure IoT Edge module development.
This README will introduce how to install the dotnet template and then create Azure IoT Edge module with the template step by step. The template will set up all necessary files for you to focus on functionality programming.
Make sure you have .Net Core 2.0 SDK installed.
Run dotnet command to install the template:
dotnet new -i Microsoft.Azure.IoT.Edge.Module
You could find the template with short name aziotedgemodule in output:

-lang, --language Specifies the language of the template to create.
Azure IoT Edge Module (C#)
Author: Microsoft
Options:
-s|--skipRestore
bool - Optional
Default: false
-r|--repository
string - Optional
Default: <registry>/<repo-name>
-lang|--language
string - Optional
Default: C#
Parameter -s means if you want to skip the restore of packages referenced in module project.
Parameter -r means the Docker repository to host your Azure IoT Edge module.
Now create the Azure IoT Edge module by the template with name:
dotnet new aziotedgemodule -n <your_module_name>
Optionally, to create an F# module use the -lang or --language flag as follows:
dotnet new aziotedgemodule -lang F# -n <your_module_name>
