C# Badge Maker is a Command Line Application that allows users to generate Id badge pngs that include a workers name, id, and photo. It was built to learn C#.
While building this project I learned to:
- Write C# variables by defining what they are, for example instead of
var bl = trueyou would writebool bl = true - Install C# packages using
dotnet - Manipulate the file system to generate files and folders
- Import packages with the
usingtag. Primarily from theSystembut also from dotnet packages - Run a C# file by using
dotnet runordotnet watch
- Fork the repo
- Clone the code to your local machine
- Open in
VS Code - Use the
restorecommand
From the terminal run dotnet run to begin the application.
- You will be asked if you would like to auto generate ids. If true 10 ids will be generated and placed within the
datafolder. If false continue reading. - You will be asked to enter a first name, last name, id, and photo url. For the photo url feel free to use
https://placekitten.com/300/300. - Once you have finished entering one id you may either continue entering ids or simply hit enter with no input to finish. Ids will be generated and placed within the
datafolder.
