Cannot find module ‘./wwwroot/dist/vendor-manifest.json

Hi Friends,

Thought to share one of the errors which I usually face, whenever I switch machine. Scenario is I am working on any greenfield project which is basically an angular 4 project with asp.net core. I have a habit of keeping my code on source control which is git in this case. However, when I clone the same on different machine and install my usual dependencies with npm install; soon after that when I run my app, it gives me below error.

Understanding Middleware in ASP.NET Core

In this section, we are going to understand new pipeline concept in ASP.NET Core which is Middleware. If you have been doing ASP.NET stuff since a while, you must be knowing that HTTP-Handlers and HTTP-Modules have always been part of ASP.NET processing structure. But, with new ASP.NET Core concept, Handlers and Modules are now history. They are no longer in use. Rather than that new Pipeline is implemented and that is called Middleware.

Getting Started With ASP.NET Core

In this section, thought of getting started new series on ASP.NET Core stuffs right from the beginning. The very first thing which needs to be done here downloading the core components from http://dot.net.  Here, you will get two options LTS(Long Term Solution) and Current. I prefer LTS as this is how it is going to be in future. The major difference which I see is Project Type System (.xproj –> .csproj) change and project.json is going away. This has been done to embrace the existing Microsoft ecosystem which is based on .csproj system.

Dot Net Watch Tool

Hi Friends,

In this segment, we will talk about Dot Net Watch Tool. Dotnet watch tool is a file watcher for dotnet that restarts the application when changes in the source code are detected. This is actually similar to nodemon, if you are familiar to node js, then this must be familiar to you. If you are using IIS Express then, it actually does this restart for you already. This piece is really helpful if you are running the app in console.
