ASPNET Core is out and your project is stuck with ASP.NET 4.x? This Visual Studio project template provides a middle-ground by adding "modern" tools to a traditional ASP.NET workflow.
Included | Replaces |
---|---|
bower | Nuget, to install client-side libraries |
npm modules | ScriptBundle and StyleBundle |
npm scripts | various |
- Specify the libraries you need (like JQuery, Knockout, etc) in
bower.json
- Run
npm install
to download these packages and a post-install script will copy only the necessary files (unlike in ASPNET Core)
Use the sample npm scripts in package.json
to bundle, minifiy and watch your LESS, Sass, TypeScript or other assets.
Custom MSBuild targets will automatically copy the generated assets during publishing.
