I have built an Angular project with ASP net core 2 and I have been trying to host it in OWIN to no avail. I used VS publish to generate the files to publish which works fine when run in IIS express directly from Visual Studio.
This is the file structure for the publish folders:
MainDirectory
wwwroot
dist
favicon
I have setup a publish project in .NET (Visual Studio) and have the following in my startup.cs class but when I browse to the url after starting the service, there is nothing in the page: I used this code below.
const string rootFolder = "C:\\src\\StartupService\\maindirectory";
var fileSystem = new PhysicalFileSystem(rootFolder);
var options = new FileServerOptions
{
EnableDefaultFiles = true,
FileSystem = fileSystem
};
app.UseFileServer(options);
I want to mention that I tested the OWIN self host server with the app.UseWelcome() page in C# and it was fine but it won't serve my Angular site. Just to mentioned that I don't see any html files in the publish folder anywhere, just DLLs, JSON files and web.config, so I don't know if that's a problem.
I also tried this code, but it didn't work too.
var physicalFileSystem = new PhysicalFileSystem("C:\\src\\StartupService\\maindirectory");
var options = new FileServerOptions
{
EnableDefaultFiles = true,
FileSystem = physicalFileSystem,
StaticFileOptions =
{
FileSystem = physicalFileSystem,
ServeUnknownFileTypes = true
},
// DefaultFilesOptions = {DefaultFileNames = new[] {"index.html"}}
};
app.UseFileServer(options);
Any idea how to self host an Angular 2 created with VS2017 in OWIN?
