Build Angular Apps in Visual Studio

[@nagendravc]

Great tutorial!! I'm surprised so few views. It is something so very essential... Had banged my head to get this to work

Wow thanks for the good explanation, it really helps me understand.

You're welcome, glad it helped!

Also... Can I make a request...? to make one with .Net Core API instead of mvc... Coz what we really need for angular is just the api...

Great walk-through to get started, did you create a video for taking this project to Azure devops...Also It shall be great If you can explain build process for Angular....are we using magic of webpack or gulp?

Good tutorial, so this means there isn't a way to configure the build of the angular app from Visual Studio?

Hi Vishal, VS can be set up for Angular to build and watch for changes, however, because I end up switching to prod builds somewhat frequently I don't use that. I keep it pretty simple and use a VS extension called "Open Command Line" by Mads Kristensen - it lets me quickly open a command window from the project root using ""CTRL+ALT+,". Then I just have two batch files set up. One that I start (w.bat) when I begin working on some new code that just runs an Angular dev build with the watch option, and a second (p.bat) that runs a prod build before check-ins. I'm sure some would argue for more automation, but honestly, I like it - the w.bat kind of triggers the mindset that I'm starting dev and the p.bat is a good sanity check to always do before a check-in. Hope this helps and stay safe and healthy out there!

Title: "Build angular in visual studio" but you keep building in a separated console, you are not building in visual studio at all, you are just linking your angular to your MVC web :/ I was expecting some sort of "post build" script to run the npm i / npm build prod, The only thing I could possible use from this video is that I learned about the output path, that might help to build with post build actions.
