## From README

ABP Development Workflow Tutorials: https://abp.io/docs/latest/tutorials Adding a New Entity (Full Flow) Domain Layer Create entity (location varies by template: .Domain/Entities/ for layered, Entities/ for single-layer/microservice): Domain.Shared Add constants and enums in .Domain.Shared/: Repository Interface (Optional) Define custom repository in .Domain/ only if you need custom query methods. For simple CRUD, use generic IRepository directly: EF Core Configuration In .EntityFrameworkCore/: DbContext: OnModelCreating: Repository Implementation (only if custom interface defined): Run Migration See abp-ef-core skill for migration commands. Recommended: use DbMigrator project to apply migrations and seed data. Application.Contracts Create DTOs and service interface: Object Mapping (Mapperly / AutoMapper) ABP supports both Mapperly and AutoMapper. Prefer the provider already used in the solution.
