Gulp is no longer the default choice for ASP.NET Core

Talking Dotnet 3 Comments

Today when you create an ASP.NET Core application, you will find “gulpfile.js” present in your project structure (At the time of writing this post with RC2 release). However Microsoft is making a move with task runner and Gulp is no longer the default choice for ASP.NET Core application in a future release. It’s time to say “Goodbye Gulp“. And it is replaced with a new VS extension called BundlerMinifier. Gulp will be removed from default ASP.NET Core project template, but if you wish to use then, you can add it back. Earlier, an announcement was made about Project.json going away and now its turn for Gulp.

In this post, we take a look at various ASP.NET Core Diagnostics middleware examples which are used for error logging and handling, exception handling and runtime environment information. Read More

Angular CLI is here for Angular 2

Setting up Angular 2 in your application is quite time-consuming compare to AngularJS 1. For setting up Angular 1.x, all you need to do is to just add the reference of library but with Angular 2, it requires some more work due to dependency on Grunt or Gulp for build process, TypeScript and it’s compiler. And setting this with Visual Studio 2015 is even more time-consuming. Angular Team is aware of this and they came up with a solution and introduced a new command line tool (cli) for Angular 2. Yes, Angular CLI is here for Angular 2 applications.
