That’s it for this post! I’ve not gone too deep into the tooling but so far this feels like a nice integrated way to specify and restoring client side libraries. In this example I deleted the lib folder before triggering my build and you can see the files being restored as necessary. You’ll see the output from this when building your project. Once you do this a PackageReference will be added to you csproj file for “”. Choosing this option will present you with a dialog to confirm you wish to include the NuGet package. This is useful for CI / build servers for example (although I’ve not tested that at this stage). If you choose this option it will add a NuGet package to the project which will trigger the specified libraries to be restored on build. If you want to force a restore, perhaps after first cloning a project, you can do so by right clicking the libman.json file and choosing “Restore Client-Side Libraries”.Īnother option on this context menu is the “Enabled Restore on Build…” option. Upon saving this file, the required libraries will be restored into your specified directory. The provider options at this stage are cdnjs or filesystem. There’s also a value I’m not providing here to override the provider from which the library should be restored from. I preferred to be a little more selective about those that I needed here. If you don’t include the array of files then all files from the library will be included. In this case I’m including them under the

The first value I provide is the name and version of the required library – is the destination for the restored files relative to your project. Here is an example of my final libman.json file. The tooling offers autocomplete which makes populating this file a pretty straightforward experience. Let’s look at how we can add those to our project. In my example, my front end views only need bootstrap and jquery at this stage. This is where we’ll add the packages we need for our project. There is also an empty array of libraries defined. It includes a version and default provider. The libman.json file will be nearly empty when it’s first added. Note in the screenshot that at this point I don’t have a lib folder under wwwroot. This will add a single file to your project called libman.json. To add the Library Manager functionality to a project, simply right click on the project and choose the “Manage Client-Side Libraries…” option. In this post I’m going to explore the basics of how I used this in a new project.

Library Manager is a new feature included in Visual Studio 2017 (as of 15.7 preview 3) that provides new support for managing client side libraries in your projects. I’m far more comfortable with the server side code! As such, this post is based on my own (potentially naive) approach to working with client side libraries.

My work on Humanitarian Toolbox is view based, however the project has grown up over a number of years and relies on a combination of NPM and gulp to bring in the required client side libraries.įor a brand new project, the templates will include a lib folder in Full disclosure: I don’t consider myself a client side expert. I found myself needing to re-learn my options for client side libraries. Having been mostly API focused recently, it was the first time that I’d done much with a site that actually renders views for a while. I recently started working on an ASP.NET Core 2.1 Preview 2 sample project. It’s in the preview for 15.8.x currently so we may see it when that version lands.
