ASP.NET 5: Managing Client-side Dependencies with NPM, Bower and Gulp
calendar_today 13 August 2015 21:05
This is the second in a series of articles that explores what's new in ASP.NET 5 by starting with the Visual Studio 2015 Empty site template and progressively adding files to emulate the Web Application template contents and structure. While not actually part of the ASP.NET 5 framework, this article explores the recommended tools for managing client-side dependencies: NPM, Bower and Gulp. These tools are very popular among front-end developers working with other frameworks and now that they have been integrated as first class citizens in Visual Studio 2015, their use is encouraged among .NET developers. The series of articles has been developed using Visual Studio 2015 and ASP.NET 5 Beta 6. It will be kept updated along with newer releases.

When you create a new ASP.NET web application using the Web Application template, you are presented with a raft of new folders and files in a completely new structure. This article is the first in a series that attempts to demystify the new structure and the role that some of these files play. The article series starts with the Empty template and adds the various files that you might see in the web application template progressively to illustrate their purpose. This article uses Visual Studio 2105 RTM and ASP.NET 5 Beta 6. It will be updated in line with future releases.
