​
What is Intent Architect?

Intent Architect is a non-prescriptive, integrated, architecture-design platform that combines the power of visual modeling, code-management, and pattern-reuse to help software development teams build enterprise-grade, scalable applications at lightning speed.

​
What are Modules?

A module is a packaged collection of patterns, software factory extensions, modelers, and metadata which can be used in one or more Intent Architect projects and/or solutions. This repository contains the source code for modules that generate C# and other .NET related files.

Contribution Principles

When contributing changes, please ensure they adhere to these principles:
Changes should be in line with accepted coding practices in the solution space. Follow established patterns and conventions used throughout the codebase.
Contributions should implement general patterns that other developers would want to use. Avoid overly specific solutions that only work in narrow scenarios.
Generated code should always read as if a developer wrote the code manually. It should be clean, readable, and maintainable.
