minimal API - Package template

[LadyNaggaga]

Available: August 17th (this is a tentative date and may change)
Reason: The first iteration of minimal APIs template will be a template package on NuGet until we have all the user scenarios fully working.

User experience

• Install package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Minimal-api.Templates
  dotnet new install Microsoft.AspNetCore.MinimalApi.Templates:: 0.1.0-pre
• Create a new minimal api
  dotnet new api -o myapi

Related issue

• Getting started with minimal apis end to end #34011

Why a package? Why don't we put this in the box?

Fair question. If you look at the end to end getting started experience I am documenting the pillars we should hit to provide developers with smooth experience that we should ship OOB.

A package also allows us to make changes and updates fast to the new experience without having to go through the SDK.

How do we make sure that people find it?

This is now setup in the aspnet/AspLabs repo. Versioned packages are available from the internal feed right now as there's an issue with the publishing to the public .NET feed from the AspLabs-Ci pipeline (@JunTaoLuo is looking into that). Once we decide to publish the first version to NuGet we can do so manually.

FYI the package is available at https://dnceng.visualstudio.com/public/_packaging?_a=package&feed=dotnet6&package=Microsoft.AspNetCore.MinimalApi.Templates&protocolType=NuGet&version=0.1.0-alpha.21370.3.

I'll leave the decision of manually pushing to NuGet publicly up to you folks.

Closing this as we've added the option to the webapi project template now.
