Configure Aurelia Project using Visual Studio

Question

I know it's very new, but I'd like to create a prototype using aurelia with Visual Studio. VS support is in the hopper, but the current documentation is based on node.js et al. Based on the existing documentation, I haven't a clue. I'm hoping I can get some guidance...

Answer 1

Not sure this is what you are looking for, but you can check out this github Aurelia project, using Typescript and VS 2013. It still makes use of gulp and jspm but with the VS Taskrunner extension.

https://github.com/AshleyGrant/aspnet-skeleton-navigation

There is now a default project supporting VS 2015: https://github.com/aurelia/skeleton-navigation

Answer 2

There are several sample Aurelia Visual Studio solutions contained here: aurelia typescript samples

These samples use a javascript bundle (also created as part of the repo), so no gulp is needed.

Warning - these are samples and are not polished.

Answer 3

You can try this https://github.com/BoudewijnvanVeen/Aurelia-Typescript-Skeleton-4VS

Lets you run an Aurelia application using Visual Studio with Typescript debugging.doesnt use Gulp

Answer 4

Visual Studio Code would work well with Aurelia, I had a play around with the demo and the skeleton app and it worked pretty well.

Answer 5

I tried to run Aurelia Visual Studio Project without Nodejs .

https://github.com/cmichaelgraham/aurelia-typescript#just-use-it---visual-studio-using-requirejs-amd-module-loader

But it not able to find "http://lcoalhost:6260/aurelia/core-js/client/core.js".

that means we need make sure that NodeJs installed on server with this command

run node r.js -o name=aurelia-bundle-manifest baseUrl=. mainConfigFile=main-config.js out=aurelia-bundle.min.js

Need to create bundling into server like
