Abp Source Reference

ABP Source Reference

Use this skill whenever the task touches ABP internals, module behavior, extension methods, framework conventions, or unclear implementations.

Local Source Roots (Exact Paths)

• C:\P\abp - ABP Framework monorepo (open-source framework + official OSS modules + npm packages + templates).
• C:\P\abp-studio - ABP Studio source tree and related tooling implementation.
• C:\P\volo - Commercial/pro modules and source-code bundles (SaaS, Chat, Payment, Lepton Theme, etc.).
• C:\P\lepton - Lepton theme repositories (ASP.NET Core, Angular, SSR, HTML assets, npm packs).

Mandatory Behavior

Before answering implementation details:

1. Locate the exact symbol in one of the four roots.
2. Read the real code path(s) and related interfaces/base classes.
3. Answer with evidence from source; do not infer internals from memory.
4. If code is not found locally, explicitly say it was not found and what was searched.

Source Map Summary

1) ABP Framework (C:\P\abp)

Top-level areas:

• framework - Core ABP framework source.
  • C:\P\abp\framework\src - Main framework implementations (Volo.Abp.*).
  • C:\P\abp\framework\test - Framework test coverage and behavior examples.
• modules - Official open-source modules.
  • Examples: account, identity, permission-management, tenant-management, setting-management, cms-kit, blogging, audit-logging, background-jobs, openiddict.
• npm - JS/TS packages (Angular/MVC assets and support packages).
  • packs and ng-packs contain package sources.
• templates - Startup templates/scaffolding references.
• docs - Official docs source; useful for intent/context, not implementation truth.

Use ABP root first when question is about:

• Core abstractions (IRepository, UoW, authorization, data filters, domain events, settings, features).
• Base classes and extension methods under Volo.Abp.* packages.
• OSS module behavior and endpoints.

2) Volo Modules (C:\P\volo)

Top-level areas:

• C:\P\volo\abp - Commercial/pro module repositories.
  • Examples: saas, payment, chat, identity-pro, file-management, language-management, lepton-theme, ai-management, low-code, forms, gdpr, text-template-management, suite.
• C:\P\volo\source-code - Downloadable source bundles per product.
  • Folders like Volo.Saas.SourceCode, Volo.Chat.SourceCode, Volo.FileManagement.SourceCode, Volo.Payment.SourceCode, Volo.Abp.LeptonTheme.SourceCode, etc.

Use Volo root when question is about:

• Commercial module implementation details.
• Module-specific application contracts and app services.
• Pro-only UI/API behavior not present in OSS C:\P\abp\modules.

3) ABP Studio (C:\P\abp-studio)

Use ABP Studio root when question is about:

• ABP Studio desktop app behavior and workflows.
• Studio-specific tooling, orchestration, and integration logic.
• Features that exist in Studio but not in framework/module repos.

4) Lepton (C:\P\lepton)

Top-level areas:

• aspnet-core - Theme integrations for ASP.NET Core side.
  • Contains abp, volo, and source-code folders.
• angular - Nx workspace for Angular theme packages.
  • apps and libs include Angular app/library sources.
• SSR - Server-side rendering project and appearance pipeline. It's known as LeptonX Demo application.
• html / html-build - Static theme assets and build outputs.
• npm - Theme npm packs and scripts.

Use Lepton root when question is about:

• LeptonX/Lepton Theme visual behavior, styling, layout, and UI components.
• Theme packaging and front-end distribution.
• ASP.NET Core + Angular theme integration points.

Practical Search Order

1. Try C:\P\abp (framework + OSS modules).
2. If Studio-specific, check C:\P\abp-studio.
3. If likely commercial/pro, check C:\P\volo.
4. If UI/theme-specific, check C:\P\lepton.
5. Cross-check with tests/examples before final guidance.

Response Style Requirements

When answering ABP-source questions:

• Include concrete file paths you inspected.
• Prefer statements like "In .../X.cs, method Y does ...".
• Distinguish verified facts from assumptions.
• If assumptions remain, label them clearly.

Fast Reminder Snippet

"Use local ABP source of truth. Check C:\P\abp, C:\P\abp-studio, C:\P\volo, C:\P\lepton before answering; do not guess internal implementations."
