ScriptTagHelper support for file globbing patterns in src

[DamianEdwards]

The ScriptTagHelper should support file globbing patterns via the asp-src attribute as a way to indicate that multiple script tags should be rendered. This simplifies the management of script references during development when used in conjunction with the proposed EnvironmentTagHelper and a task runner such as Gulp for doing script bundling & minification.

e.g.

<environment name="Development">
    <script asp-src-include="js/**/*.js" asp-src-exclude="*.min.js"></script>
</environment>
<environment names="Staging,Production">
    <script src="~/js/site.min.js"></script>
</environment>

@DamianEdwards could you add a few details on how this enhancement would interact w/ Gulp and the #1576 enhancement? For example would Gulp generate "~/js/site.min.js"?

And should the generated scripts for #1576 also support globbing? If yes, does the primary source contain the globs while the fallback specifies only a different root URI?

[DamianEdwards]

@dougbu Yes, it's expected Grunt/Gulp would be used to generate ~/js/site.min.js during build/publish time.

Here's a full example using both features:

<environment name="Development">
    <script src="~/lib/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="~/lib/jquery-validation/jquery.validate.js"></script>
    <script asp-src-include="js/**/*.js" asp-src-exclude="*.min.js"></script>
</environment>
<environment names="Staging,Production">
    <script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"
            asp-fallback-src="~/lib/jquery/jquery.min.js"
            asp-fallback-test="window.jquery"></script>
    <script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.13.1/jquery.validate.min.js"
            asp-fallback-src="~/lib/jquery-validation/jquery.validate.min.js"
            asp-fallback-test="window.jquery && window.jquery.validate"></script>
    <script asp-src="~/js/site.min.js"></script>
</environment>

Should this be just part of the script tag feature design (which we didn't quite do yet)?

I like the pattern, I just want to keep the issue count under check.

Never mind, just noticed you made it go to RC rather than Beta2
