NuGet Installation
To make a clean project with Bridge NuGet packages, start by creating a new C# Class Library project. This article will describe the steps necessary to get your project compiling with Bridge.
#
Create A New Project
Create a new C# Class Library Project such as shown below:
#
Install NuGet Package
To turn the newly created project into a Bridge.NET project, open either the NuGet Package Manager Console or Package Manager Dialog.
Open NuGet's console via Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console.
Once the console is open, install Bridge by running the following command:
Install-Package Bridge
At this point, the project's references will be replaced with Bridge and Bridge.Html5. This is the expected behaviour of a successfull Bridge.NET installation. Additionally, Bridge.jQuery2 and Bridge.Bootstrap3 would be in place if the respective packages were installed as well.
#
Additional Frameworks
You can also install additional JavaScript framework support using the same technique. For example, Bridge.Bootstrap will install the Twitter Bootstrap C# bindings, as well as Bridge.jQuery since jQuery is a dependency of Bootstrap.
#
Build The Project
You now have a Class Library project that is configured to use Bridge and can compile your C# into JavaScript. You will find the following files in the Bridge\output
folder as soon as you Build the project (F6):
bridge.js
bridge.min.js
ClassLibrary1.js
ClassLibrary1.min.js
The two latter files are assuming the project name is ClassLibrary1
. By default, these two files will be created with your projects Namespace name.
