Generate Web Apps.Forget Boilerplate Code.
Spiderly is a .NET (C#) library that turns C# classes into a complete .NET (C#) + Angular web apps, automatically updating all the boilerplate code as your classes evolve. You're free to add your own logic and customize the generated app exactly how you want.
Key Benefits
Faster Development
Skip repetitive coding tasks and generate ready-to-use code instantly, so you can focus on building core features instead of boilerplate.
App Scalability
To add admin features for a new entity, all you need is a single C# class, everything else is generated for you.
Human Error Reduction
By generating proven and pre-tested code automatically, the chances of manual errors are greatly reduced.
Consistency
Automatically applies the same patterns, conventions, industry standards and best practices to ensure a uniform codebase every time.
Maintainability
Generated code is correct and separated, making code reviews easier and keeping your project structure clean.
Core Features Focus
Forget boilerplate code and focus on core features that matter and deliver real value to your customers.
A Word from the Founder
Through my work in companies and side projects, I saw the need for a tool to generate repetitive boilerplate code. The things I wrote over and over again caused me stress because I wasn't learning anything new. This was especially frustrating if I made a simple mistake during that manual work, or worse, had to do a code review for someone with a completely different writing style than mine.Spiderly is valuable in the era of LLMs like ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude because these tools, still lack the ability to build deeply structured projects. Spiderly handles the big picture and helps by letting you isolate small chunks of specific business logic, for which you can then ask LLMs to assist you more effectively.Unlike most generators that are only useful at the beginning of a project, Spiderly allows you to work incrementally. You can evolve your models and application structure naturally over time without needing to know everything upfront.If you choose to use the Spiderly library, you have my full support. Just open an issue or start a discussion on GitHub, and I'll respond within a few hours.
Get Started
1. Install Prerequisites
All prerequisite commands are global and should be executed in the terminal.
Mandatory Prerequisites
- SQL Server (Free Developer Edition)
- Node.js
- Angular CLI: npm install -g @angular/cli
- Code Editors (Recommended):
- Backend: Visual Studio (Community Edition)
- Frontend: Visual Studio Code
- .NET 9.0 (if you have installed Visual Studio, you can skip this step)
- EF Core CLI: dotnet tool install -g dotnet-ef
Optional Recommended Tools
- SQL Server Management Studio
- Visual Studio Code Extension: Angular Language Service
2. Install the Spiderly CLI
Command is global and should be executed in the terminal.
3. Initialize App
Run this command in the folder where you want your app to be located. By using the Spiderly CLI, you properly initialize the app, allowing all other Spiderly libraries to function.
4. Start the app
After app base initialization, open both, the backend ({your_app_name}\API\{your_app_name}.sln) and the frontend ({your_app_name}\Angular) in your preferred code editors, then start both using the scripts shown in the terminal.
5. Configure app settings
In {your_app_name}\API\{your_app_name}.WebAPI\appsettings.json, set the following fields: "EmailSender", "EmailSenderPassword", "UnhandledExceptionRecipients", and "GoogleClientId".
In {your_app_name}\Angular\src\environments\environment.ts, set the "GoogleClientId" field.
6. Register the user
Use the UI of your generated app to register the user via email or Google.
7. Assign admin permissions
Run the script located at {your_app_name}/Data/initialize-script.sql using SQL Server Management Studio to assign admin permissions to the previously registered user.
