Overview of this book

The ASP.NET Core 2.0 Framework has been designed to meet all the needs of today’s web developers. It provides better control, support for test-driven development, and cleaner code. Moreover, it’s lightweight and allows you to run apps on Windows, OSX and Linux, making it the most popular web framework with modern day developers. This book takes a unique approach to web development, using real-world examples to guide you through problems with ASP.NET Core 2.0 web applications. It covers Visual Studio 2017- and ASP.NET Core 2.0-specifc changes and provides general MVC development recipes. It explores setting up .NET Core, Visual Studio 2017, Node.js modules, and NuGet. Next, it shows you how to work with Inversion of Control data pattern and caching. We explore everyday ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0 patterns and go beyond it into troubleshooting. Finally, we lead you through migrating, hosting, and deploying your code. By the end of the book, you’ll not only have explored every aspect of ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0, you’ll also have a reference you can keep coming back to whenever you need to get the job done.

Using Yeoman code-generated templates


Yeoman (http://yeoman.io/) is a code-generator tool. It enables the generation of all the necessary files that you will need in a project template, according to a particular web technology. Yeoman allows us to generate full project templates but also pieces of code or optional features we could use in our projects. They are called subgenerators.

In this recipe, we will learn how to install Yeoman and use it in Windows. We will create Yeoman generators and subgenerators.

Getting ready

We will assume that you already have Node.js installed on your computer (Node.js and npm comes together). We will also assume that you've already installed Visual Studio Code. We have already talked about lightweight, cross-platform Visual Studio version in a previous recipe Bundling and minifying JavaScript files with Gulp.

Visual Studio Code will help us to realize the value of using Yeoman in an IDE that contains no project templates.
