A Razor Pages sample site with CLI setup for Tailwind CSS and Webpack for Hotwire with Turbo and Stimulus.

The demo web site is built using an Action in this repo.

It's the basic GitHub Action to Azure App Service example plus these steps first for building the frontend files.

- name: Setup npm
  uses: actions/setup-node@v2
  with:
    node-version: 18.12.0
- run: npm ci
- run: npm run prodbuild

Be in repository root and do:

npm ci
npm run dev

Or if you don't need any JS watched and built while working this will work faster:

npm run prodbuild
npm run dev:css

To build without watcher:

npm run prodbuild

I recommend doing npm run dev:css and then going to src/WebApp/ and starting dotnet project by using:

dotnet watch run

This article is where the SignalR setup comes from: https://medium.com/@kpax/hotwired-asp-net-core-web-application-part-4-5ff84da54452

About Turbo Streams over Web Socket: I recommend using the SignalR way from main but in the branch archived/barebone-websocket there's a barebone Web Socket Proof-of-Concept as well.

An alternative dotnet project: https://www.nuget.org/packages/HotwireTurbo/

• Maybe make NuGet package of Krompaco.AspNetCore.Hotwired.
• XUnit tests for Krompaco.AspNetCore.Hotwired.
• Make default styling to look like an Optimizely CMS admin page.
