Overview¶

This article walks through the steps to create a simple Angular-based web app.

Walk-Through¶

Initial Setup¶

1. Within Visual Studio, create a new app, selecting Web > ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application. Specify the "Empty" template and the Razor view engine.

1.a Add Angular via NuGet: Project > References > Right-Click > Manage NuGet packages > Online > Search for "angular" > Install "Angular JS"

2. Under the website root folder, create a /Scripts/MyAngularApp folder.

3. Within the /Scripts/MyAngularApp folder, create app.js with the following code.

var myAngularApp = angular.module("myAngularApp", ["ngResource"]);

4. Create the /Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file with the following code. The key items are the ng-app attribute on the html tag, and the script references to angular.min.js and app.js.

@{
    Layout = null;
}
<html ng-app="myAngularApp">
    <head>
        <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.2/angular.min.js"></script>
        <script src="/Scripts/MyAngularApp/app.js"></script>
        @RenderSection("head", required: false)
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>My Angular App</h1>
        @RenderBody()
    </body>
</html>

5. Create a Home controller with an Index method.

6. Create a view for the Home/Index method, specifying a layout file of /Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml

7. Run your website and verify the /Home/Index page appears as expected. At this point, the site is rather trivial.
