IMPORTANT

Please note that this generator is a little outdated and shouldn't be used in production for now. I'm currently working on update. While I'm doing this, keep in mind that it can not work well enough for app developement. You shouldn't use this generator as-is as angular app base, but it can still be a source of examples of how you can implement authentication in your apps. I'm sorry for inconvenience :/

ASP.net Core Angular 2 Yeoman generator

Starter kit for all who want to use ASP.net Core with Angular 2

Welcome to ASP.net Core Angular 2 template!

Technical details about this generator:

Right now there are two templates to choose.

Template1 is the one I've made from scratch. It's based on tutorial from angular.io. Details can be found here
Template2 is based on other yeoman generator available here, but enhanced. I've added database and login functionality (so it functions like template1)

Personally, I recommend template2, because angular part is made there by experts ;)

Used technologies:

ASP.net Core (with WebAPI) - for backend management
Angular 2 (RC 4) - for frontend management
TypeScript - because it works much better with Angular than pure JS
Gulp(template1)/Webpack(template2) - for all automation
Bootstrap - for better appearance
Entity Framework - for database management
OpenIddict - authentication process

Installation

npm install -g generator-dotnetcore-angular2-starterkit

You'll also need Yeoman

npm install -g yo

What do you need to make project work

ASP.net Core because it's .net core project
Node.JS because it's used in building process
NPM to install yeoman and this generator
Gulp (just install it globally)
Node scripts like npm, gulp, bower need to work globally in console. This is how you can do it.

Generating new project

yo dotnetcore-angular2-starterkit

After installation:

For template 1: Check out project README. Read this if you have any doubts, questions or problems. You can find it in every project you generate using this template.

For template 2: check out this GitHub page

Doesn't work?

You can debug this generator by typing

set DEBUG=yeoman:generator yo dotnetcore-angular2-starterkit

in your console. Copy error message and let me know about it by creating new issue on GitHub.
