aurelia-navigation-aspnet5

A sample ASP.NET 5 & Aurelia navigation skeleton project.

This basic starter project joins together the ASP.NET 5 Empty Web Preview Template with the essential parts of the [Aurelia/Skeleton-Navigation] (https://github.com/aurelia/skeleton-navigation). (inspired by the excellent "Aurelia Hello World with ASP.NET 5" blog post from OdeToCode).

As Aurelia is still currently in development things could get a little wonky, so I'll try to keep this project in working condition.

From the Aurelia skeleton navigation instructions:

You may need to verify you installed jspm and then run jspm install from the folder above wwwroot prior to build.

1. Ensure that NodeJS is installed. This provides the platform on which the build tooling runs.
2. From the project folder, execute the following command:

npm install

3. Ensure that Gulp is installed. If you need to install it, use the following command:

npm install -g gulp

4. Ensure that jspm is installed. If you need to install it, use the following command:

npm install -g jspm

Note: jspm queries GitHub to install semver packages, but GitHub has a rate limit on anonymous API requests. It is advised that you configure jspm with your GitHub credentials in order to avoid problems. You can do this by executing jspm registry config github and following the prompts. If you choose to authorize jspm by an access token instead of giving your password (see GitHub Settings > Personal Access Tokens), public_repo access for the token is required.

5. Install the client-side dependencies with jspm:

jspm install -y

Running The Unit Tests

To run the unit tests, first ensure that you have followed the steps above in order to install all dependencies and successfully build the library. Once you have done that, proceed with these additional steps:

1. Ensure that the Karma CLI is installed. If you need to install it, use the following command:

npm install -g karma-cli

then:

karma start
