Clean Architecture API Solution without client app SPA app

[devFarshadFahimi]

I have issue with this latest version that provided in this repository , I only need API section of this template and when I try to remove " ClientApp " folder and some configs in " WebApi.csproj " file , project build takes too long after it and solution will create another ClientApp folder (with "Src" folder and exc...) automatically, It would be great if there was another template for just an API Solution to makes it easy to use for us.
with regards

I have done this for several projects. Here are the steps I take.

• Remove the directory src > WebUI > ClientApp
• Remove the following from src > WebUI > WebUI.csproj

 <SpaRoot>ClientApp\</SpaRoot>
 <SpaProxyServerUrl>https://localhost:44447</SpaProxyServerUrl>
 <SpaProxyLaunchCommand>npm `start</SpaProxyLaunchCommand>

 <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaProxy" Version="6.0.5" />

<ItemGroup>
    <!-- Don't publish the SPA source files, but do show them in the project files list -->
    <Content Remove="$(SpaRoot)**" />
    <None Remove="$(SpaRoot)**" />
    <None Include="$(SpaRoot)**" Exclude="$(SpaRoot)node_modules\**" />
</ItemGroup>

<Target Name="DebugEnsureNodeEnv" BeforeTargets="Build" Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' And !Exists('$(SpaRoot)node_modules') ">
      <!-- Ensure Node.js is installed -->
      <Exec Command="node --version" ContinueOnError="true">
          <Output TaskParameter="ExitCode" PropertyName="ErrorCode" />
      </Exec>
      <Error Condition="'$(ErrorCode)' != '0'" Text="Node.js is required to build and run this project. To continue, please install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/, and then restart your command prompt or IDE." />
      <Message Importance="high" Text="Restoring dependencies using 'npm'. This may take several minutes..." />
      <Exec WorkingDirectory="$(SpaRoot)" Command="npm install" />
  </Target>

  <Target Name="PublishRunWebpack" AfterTargets="ComputeFilesToPublish">
      <!-- As part of publishing, ensure the JS resources are freshly built in production mode -->
      <Exec WorkingDirectory="$(SpaRoot)" Command="npm install" />
      <Exec WorkingDirectory="$(SpaRoot)" Command="npm run build" />

      <!-- Include the newly-built files in the publish output -->
      <ItemGroup>
          <DistFiles Include="$(SpaRoot)dist\**; $(SpaRoot)dist-server\**" />
          <ResolvedFileToPublish Include="@(DistFiles->'%(FullPath)')" Exclude="@(ResolvedFileToPublish)">
              <RelativePath>wwwroot\%(RecursiveDir)%(FileName)%(Extension)</RelativePath>
              <CopyToPublishDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToPublishDirectory>
              <ExcludeFromSingleFile>true</ExcludeFromSingleFile>
          </ResolvedFileToPublish>
      </ItemGroup>
  </Target>

• From src > WebUI > nswag.json remove the code generator openApiToTypeScriptClient .

That should be good to run the project and not create a client app.
