Getting started with Smart Components in MVC / Razor Pages

  1. Create a new ASP.NET Core Web App project or use an existing one (.NET 6 or later).

    • Command line: Run dotnet new mvc or dotnet new razor
    • Visual Studio: Select File->New->Project... then choose ASP.NET Core Web App (Model-View-Controller or Razor pages)

    • Install the NuGet package SmartComponents.AspNetCore.

      • Command line: dotnet add package --prerelease SmartComponents.AspNetCore
      • Visual Studio: Right-click your project name, choose Manage NuGet packages..., and then search for and install SmartComponents.AspNetCore. Check the Include prerelease option if needed.
        • Note: Check the Include prerelease option if needed.

  3. Register SmartComponents in your application

    a. In Program.cs, under the comment // Add services to the container, add:

    builder.Services.AddSmartComponents();

    b. In your _ViewImports.cshtml file (in the Pages or Views folder), reference the tag helpers:

    @addTagHelper *, SmartComponents.AspNetCore

  4. Configure the OpenAI backend (if needed)

    You can now add the following inside your views/pages:
