Detailed Information to Develop, Debug, and Deploy Evergine for the Web

Build

Use VS2022 or VSCode/Terminal. You can build and test only the client project (web); the server is only needed for publishing with compression (see below).

dotnet build -c [Debug|Release] ./sample.web/sample.web.[Server.]csproj

Run

From VS2022, you can run the profile sample.web[.Server]. There is also an IIS Express profile for each client and server project, but it is usually slower.

Additionally, you can publish the app using the following command:

dotnet publish -c [Debug|Release] ./sample.web/sample.web.csproj

Then, run the app by populating the folder ./sample.web/bin/[Debug|Release]/net6.0/publish/wwwroot. In this second case, we recommend using VSCode Live Server instead of Fenix, as the latter has known issues with Web Assembly.

Debug

Debugging is now possible from VS2022 by running the application in debug mode only on the Chrome browser.

Publish with Compression

To publish the application with automatic compression (Brotli & GZip), the AspNetCore server is needed. Use VS2022 or Terminal:

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x86 --self-contained ./sample.web.Server/sample.web.Server.csproj

If done from the terminal, you can publish the files in sample.web.Server/bin/Release/net6.0/win-x86/publish to an AspNetCore server, either from VSCode or manually.
