ASP.NET 5 Bootstrap 4 (alpha)

The ASP.NET 5 web templates from @omnisharp/generator-aspnet updated for Bootstrap 4.

For ASP.NET 5 tooling team and for related projects.

Web Application Basic

Take aways:

• update Bower.json dependencies
• use Gulp together with projet.json event scripts to execute npm install bower install and custom Gulp tasks for client side dependencies installation and optimization
• update _Layout.cshtml link and script tag helpers sources. Note that at moment the Microsoft Ajax CND does not support Bootstrap 4 yet - while Bootstrap CDN service does
• remove Bootstrap Touch Carousel together with Hammer.js dependencies - as Bootstrap Touch Carousel is no longer actively developed and maintained
• update navbar component structure as per BS4
• update carousel component structure as per BS4
• consistent use of btn-primary for primary action on forms

Web Application

This is still WIP

Take aways:

• update Bower.json dependencies
• use Gulp together with projet.json event scripts to execute npm install bower install and custom Gulp tasks for client side dependencies installation and optimization
• update _Layout.cshtml link and script tag helpers sources. Note that at moment the Microsoft Ajax CND does not support Bootstrap 4 yet - while Bootstrap CDN service does
• remove Bootstrap Touch Carousel together with Hammer.js dependencies - as Bootstrap Touch Carousel is no longer actively developed and maintained
• update navbar component structure as per BS4
• update carousel component structure as per BS4
• update form tag helper: no form-horizontal required
• update form-group: add row class as there is no mixin for form-group now
• create correct label + input BS4 component using below code:

<label asp-for="RememberMe">
  <input asp-for="RememberMe" />
  @Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.RememberMe)
</label>

The code will change after MVC TagHelpers are upgraded to support more features. For now the code needs to use standard Razor C# code (which is ugly)

• The jquery-validation has been updated to version 1.14.0. It has different distribution files structure similar to jQuery
