Generator - Asp.Net vNext Basic Website

A yeoman generator for a basic vNext 'Hello world' website.

The motivation for this is down to the official generator taking an 'all or nothing' approach to the generation of a vNext website - you can either choose to generate an empty project, or a site that contains everything you need in terms of a fully functioning site, with account support, databases and so on.

This generator will generate the an empty website - the basics of what you need in order to get a site up and running, with support for static files and optional support for Gulp and Twitter Bootstrap. The rest is up to you.

Usage

$ yo aspnet-basic

You will be asked for the name of the application to be generated, which affects the C# namespaces.

You will also be asked if you would like:

• Support for the Gulp build system
• Twitter Bootstrap to be included by default

Options

• --docker Generate a Docker file based on the latest Microsoft AspNet docker image, which generates a container for your application

Commands

The following gulp commands are available, provided you have chosen Gulp support when running the generator. This assumes that you have installed Gulp globally:

• $ gulp Runs the default gulp task
• $ gulp bootstrap Copies the Bootstrap assets to the wwwroot folder (if you have chosen Bootstrap support when generating the site)
