Coalesce

Designed to help you quickly build amazing web applications, Coalesce is a rapid-development, code generation-based web application framework created by IntelliTect and built on top of:

	C#, .NET, and ASP.NET Core are the backend foundation of all Coalesce applications.
	Entity Framework provides the interface between your database and C# code. Coalesce uses your EF data model to generate an extensible, customizable CRUD API that drives both your custom pages and the out-of-the-box admin pages.
	TypeScript enables discovery of Coalesce features through Intellisense and provides confidence that your frontend code won't break as your application grows.
	Vue.js provides data binding and interactivity for your application as it runs in a browser. Coalesce generates TypeScript ViewModels to facilitate rapid development of custom pages.
	Vite is the development and build tooling for your frontend Vue code, enabling lightning-fast single-page application development. Coalesce integrates Vite with ASP.NET Core, streamlining local development to require nothing more than a dotnet run or a single-click launch in your IDE.

What do I build?

You are responsible for the interesting parts of your application:

• Data Model
• Business Logic
• External Integrations
• Page Content
• Site Design
• Custom Scripting

What does Coalesce provide?

Coalesce builds the parts of your application that are mundane and monotonous to build:

• Client-side TypeScript ViewModels that mirror your data model for both lists and individual objects. Use these to rapidly build your application's various pages.
• APIs to interact with your models via endpoints like List, Get, Save, and more.
• Out-of-the-box Vue Components for common controls like dates, selecting objects via dropdowns, enums, etc. Dropdowns support searching and paging automatically.
• A complete set of Admin Pages that allow you to read, create, edit, and delete data immediately without writing additional code.
• Beta Semantic Kernel plugins that enable interaction with your application through an AI chat assistant or other LLM-based tool.
