Creating a new MVC web application with .Net Core CLI

Start a command prompt by searching for cmd in .

To check what version of .Net Core that is installed type:

dotnet --version

Make a root directory for your web application.

mkdir MvcWebApp

move into the folder.

cd  MvcWebApp

Create a mvc web application (this step can be changed to create a webapi or empty web application, see the full documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-new?tabs=netcore2x)

dotnet new mvc

list the created files and folders.

ASP.Net Core and app.settings

Got a question from a colleague on how to handle different app.settings in ASP.Net core 1.1. When debugging in VS the command prompt shows that the ASP.Net Core web application is started in Development. So the question is how to use this to supply different app.settings on different environments.

A quick look in the documentation show that the recommended way to handle app.settings.json is by different files for different environments.

Create a project

To create a new project:
ng new PROJECT_NAMEcd PROJECT_NAME
ng serve

https://github.com/angular/angular-cli#usage

ng new PROJECT_NAME creates the folder structure for the project and downloads the dependencies.
ng serve starts a web server with the project.



ng new TestProj
