# Have you looked into MS Visual Studio Code's Web Template Studio yet?

Last month, Microsoft had announced the early release of the Visual Studio Code's cool extension called, **Web Template Studio  (WebTS)**. The main aim of the extension is to accelerate the creation of new web applications using a wizard-based experience. The early release notes can be  [found here](https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2019/05/15/announcing-microsoft-web-template-studio/).

I found it cool so far where it supports,
- Boilerplate code generation for a web application by choosing between different front-end frameworks.
- Project structure generation for back-end frameworks, pages.
- Project structure generation for the Full Stake Application.
- Use the app for Cloud Services like Azure.

### Creation
`WebTS` was created using TypeScript and React. Different combinations of generated code are merged together by Core Template Studio, which was made using .NET Core.

### Installation
- It is extremely easy, just head over to  [Visual Studio Marketplace’s Web Template Studio page](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=WASTeamAccount.WebTemplateStudio-dev-nightly) and click “install” 😊.
