A dotnet project template that integrates an ASP.NET Core application with the Vite frontend tooling

ASP.NET Core + Vite = 💖

This repository contains a dotnet project template for creating a ASP.NET Core web applications that integrates with the Vite frontend tooling.

Starting with .NET 6, the integration of ASP.NET Core with SPA-Frameworks was overhauled - more information can be found in this issue: dotnet/aspnetcore#27887

The new, official SPA-templates are now available here: https://github.com/dotnet/spa-templates

Installation

You can install the latest version via nuget:

dotnet new --install JohannDev.DotNet.Web.Spa.ProjectTemplates

Install from Source

You can also clone this repository and build the project from source. After cloning, pack the project into a nupkg and install it via the dotnet CLI:

git clone https://github.com/johanndev/spa-templates
cd spa-templates/src/
dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet pack -c=Release // Prints the path to the nupkg

dotnet install -i <path/to/the/nupkg>

Usage

This example creates a new project that integrates Vue.js (via Vite) and also enables TypeScript support:

dotnet new vite -o my-vite-project --frontendFramework vue --useTypeScript
# alternative short form:
dotnet new vite -o my-vite-project -f vue -t

The templates supported by Vite (and, in extensions by this template) are:

• vanilla
• vue
• react
• preact
• lit
• svelte

All technologies can optionally be scaffolded with TypeScript support.

Afterwards, the project can be compiled and run; node dependencies are automatically restored on first run:

cd my-vite-project
dotnet build
dotnet run
