This should get you up and running quickly with an Asp.Net Core backend and React frontend app.
This was inspired by the templates located here: https://github.com/aspnet/JavaScriptServices/tree/master/samples But simplied a bit to stick with pure React for frontend ui with Asp.Net Core used strictly for API/server for now.
Getting Started:
Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/jazzay/aspnet-core-react-boilerplate
From the console run
npm install
Then for asp.net do:
dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet run
Navigate to http://localhost:5000
Enjoy!
