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.

Creating a reusable middleware component


In this recipe, we will learn how to use the Environment, Script, and Link Tag Helpers.

Getting ready

We create an empty ASP.NET Core web application with Visual Studio and .NET Core or .NET Framework.

How to do it...

We'll create a new project and write our first middleware. We can observe the execution mechanism of middleware with this project.

  1. First, let's create a middleware class:
public class MyMiddleware1 
{ 
  private readonly RequestDelegate _next; 
 
  public MyMiddleware1(RequestDelegate next) 
  { 
    _next = next; 
  } 
 
  public async Task Invoke(HttpContext httpContext) 
  { 
    await httpContext.Response.WriteAsync 
    ("Hello from first middleware before Request n"); 
    await _next(httpContext); 
    await httpContext.Response.WriteAsync 
    ("Hello from first middleware after Request n"); 
  } 
} 

A middleware class does not inherit from any class or interface, but has to respect some rules:

    • Having a public constructor that takes...
