Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions Docementation

[IamDZN]

Where is the documentation for "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions" package?

I am getting below warning when using "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices" with a Vue based .NET Core applciation. It seems like these packages were made obsolete with "Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions" package but there are no documentation about this package.

warning CS0618: 'PrerenderTagHelper' is obsolete: 'Use Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions'

Hello @IamDZN ...

Mentioned in the 2.2 to 3.0 migration topic under SPA Services. It links to the NuGet package at ...

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions

Also linked in the Use JavaScript Services to Create Single Page Applications in ASP.NET Core topic. The WARNING says ...

The features described in this article are obsolete as of ASP.NET Core 3.0. A simpler SPA frameworks integration mechanism is available in the Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions NuGet package. For more information, see [Announcement] Obsoleting Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices and Microsoft.AspNetCore.NodeServices.

Where it links to the NuGet package again and an Announcement, which explains more about what's going on with it.

dotnet/aspnetcore#12890

Since it's called out and cross-linked, I'll go ahead and close, but Scott will see this and re-open it if it requires more work later. He's OOF for the moment but will see this when he returns.

Those links only talk about why the new package was created and why the old one is deprecated, there's no documentation on how to actually use Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions (that I can find). Examples would be great as well. I only got it working after spending a few hours in object explorer looking for method names similar to the ones in Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.

I would love to see the existing doc (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/client-side/spa-services?view=aspnetcore-3.0#what-is-spaservices) updated for Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions, instead of just saying "hey, this is deprecated, here's the new undocumented nuget package".

This is exactly what I was talking about. It would be nice to see the documentation get updated with examples.

Deprecating a package, providing a new one without any documentation? 3.1 it's been LTS for a while now. Please provide documentation on how to use this because I could only make it work with the default create-react-app that comes in the template. I want to use my own react app (not cra-based) but I can't get it to work. It fails to proxy to the react app. There's no documentation on how to specify the port of the client app.

Any news on where is the documentation?

Another call for doc's please folks. I'm trying to upgrade some Aurelia apps done under core 2.1.
