Installation

Install

Currently supporting ASP.NET Core 1.0, built against Microsoft.NETCore.App 1.0.0-rc2-3002702

Nuget:

Install-Package Smidge -Pre

In Startup.ConfigureServices:

//You can pass in an IConfiguration instance here which contains the Smidge configuration
//values, alternatively you can use a separate smidge.json file (see below)
services.AddSmidge();

In Startup.Configure

app.UseSmidge();

The configuration format for Smidge is as follows. You can either include this structure in your own configuration file and pass in the IConfiguration reference to the AddSmidge method above or add a config file to your app root (not wwwroot) called smidge.json:

{
    "dataFolder": "App_Data/Smidge",
    "version":  "1"
}

• dataFolder: where the cache files are stored
• version: can be any string, this is used for cache busting in URLs generated

Create a file in your ~/Views folder: _ViewImports.cshtml (This is an ASP.NET MVC Core way of injecting services into all of your views) In _ViewImports.cshtml add an injected service and a reference to Smidge's tag helpers:

@inject Smidge.SmidgeHelper Smidge
@addTagHelper *, Smidge
