#Getting Started
This tutorial will show you how you can get started with ASP.NET vNext in Sublime Text 3. After completing this tutorial you will be familiar with how to use Sublime Kulture and its primary features.
To get started you can use yeoman
Note: This requires you to have node.js and npm already installed
npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-aspnet
To run the yeoman scaffolder, type
yo aspnet
Let's go ahead and create a new Web project using yo aspnet
. In Sublime, click on File -> Open Folder
and navigate to the folder to open it up.
Note: In Sublime for Mac use the
File -> Open
command
Since we just grabbed this from source control there are NuGet packages which this project requires that are missing. To restore the NuGet packages
- Press
Ctrl(Cmd) + Shift + P
to bring up the command palette - Type
Run K Commands
and hit Enter (Return) - Type
dnu restore
and hit Enter (Return)
Note: when executing dnu restore
if you get an error about missing NuGet packages you can execute the alternate command dnu restore -s https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/api/v2
You should see a Terminal/Powershell window launch and execute your commands.
Now, let's go ahead and tell Sublime to use ASP.NET
as the build system. To do this, click Tools -> Build System -> ASP.NET
- Press
Ctrl(Cmd) + B
orF7
to build projects
You should be able to see the output of your build in the output window towards the bottom of your screen. At this point your code should have built successfully.
Now let's see what the experience looks like if there is an error in your .cs file. Introduce an error in the Startup.cs file and try building again. You should now see errors in the output window. You can navigate through the errors as follows
F4
takes you to the next errorShft + F4
takes you to the previous error
When an error has focus it will be highlighted in the build results and your cursor will be taken to the line and column where the error was reported.
After we resolve all the errors we have introduced, let us try and run the application
- Press
Ctrl(Cmd) + Shift + P
to bring up the command palette - Type
Run K Commands
and hit Enter (Return) - Type
dnx web
and hit Enter (Return) - If you are on a Mac or Linux, type
dnx kestrel
and hit Enter (Return)
You should see a Terminal/Powershell window launch and start running your server. You can navigate to http://localhost:5001
(or http://localhost:5000
on a Mac) in your favorite browser you view the website.
#Intellisense
To be able to get intellisense working within Sublime please install OmnisharpSublime (follow the instructions in the README).
To get intellisense with ASP.Net vNext
projects you need to create a project file in Sublime. Go to Project - Save Project As
and enter in a name for your project. OmniSharpSublime
will use this to know what files and assemblies it needs to provide intellisense for (TIP : Close & Re-Open Sublime if you do not see intellisense, it may take 10 secs for the intellisense server OmniSharpServer to start once Sublime has loaded all the plugins)
Once OmniSharpSublime is installed and you have a project file you should be able to see intellisense:
