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 JSPM


In this recipe, we will create a simple web page using ASP.NET for server-side code and Node.js for web tooling, but this time we will not use Bower as the package manager for client-side libraries, but JSPM.

Getting ready

We will use Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition as the IDE—although we could use any text editor—and Node.js for the client-side part of our development. When installing Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, we know that Node.js and npm were also installed.

How to do it...

  1. Let's install Git from https://git-scm.com/.
  2. Choose Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt.
  3. Let's create an ASP.NET empty application:
  4. We install JSPM through the console/Command Prompt by typing the following:
npm install jspm -g

Note

-g allows us install this module globally, which means we can open a Command Prompt from anywhere and typing jspm will be recognized and usable.

  1. To configure JSPM, let's open a Command Prompt window, and place ourselves in the project directory using the cd command.
  2. Now...
