ASP.NET Core Starter Kit  

ASP.NET Core Starter Kit is a real-world boilerplate and tooling for creating single-page web applications (SPA) oriented towards progressive enhancement design, cross-platform compatability and component-based UI architecture. It is built upon best of breed technologies including .NET Core, Kestrel, EF Core, Babel, Webpack, React, Redux, CSS Modules, React Hot Loader and more. This boilerplate comes in both C# and F# flavors.

Prerequisites

Getting Started

Step 1. Clone the latest version of ASP.NET Core Starter Kit on your local machine by running:

$ git clone -o aspnet-starter-kit -b master --single-branch \
      https://github.com/kriasoft/aspnet-starter-kit.git MyApp
$ cd MyApp

Alternatively, scaffold your project with Yeoman:

$ npm install -g yo
$ npm install -g generator-aspnetcore
$ yo aspnetcore

Step 2. Install project dependencies listed in [project.json](server/project.json) and [package.json](package.json) files:

$ npm install                   # Install both Node.js and .NET Core dependencies

Step 3. Finally, launch your web app:

$ node run                      # Compile and lanch the app, same as running: npm start

The app should become available at http://localhost:5000/. See [run.js](run.js) for other available commands such as node run build, node run publish etc. You can also run your app in a release (production) mode by running node run --release, or without Hot Module Replacement (HMR) by running node run --no-hmr.

How to Deploy

Before you can deploy your app to Azure App Service, you need to open Web App settings in Azure Portal, go to "Deployment Source", select "Local Git Repository" and hit [OK]. Then copy and paste "Git clone URL" of your Web App into [run.js/publish](run.js) file. Finally, whenever you need to compile your app into a distributable format and upload that to Windows Azure App Service, simply run:

$ node run publish              # Same as running: npm run publish

How to Update

We work hard on keeping the project up-to-date and adding new features. Down the road, after starting a new web application project based on this boilerplate, you can always fetch and merge the latest changes from this (upstream) repo back into your project by running:

$ git checkout master
$ git fetch aspnet-starter-kit
$ git merge aspnet-starter-kit/master 

Alternatively, pull the latest version of this repository into a separate folder and compare it with your project by using a diff tool such as Beyond Compare.

How to Contribute

Anyone and everyone is welcome to [contribute](CONTRIBUTING.md) to this project. The best way to start is by checking our open issues, submit a new issues or feature request, participate in discussions, upvote or downvote the issues you like or dislike, send [pull requests](CONTRIBUTING.md#pull-requests).
