Structuring the web app
A .NET Core web application is composed of the following folders:
- Dependencies: SDK, server, and client-side dependencies
- wwwroot: All static resources should reside here
- Connected Services: To connect external services available in Marketplace
- launchSettings.json: Settings required to launch a web application
- appSettings.json: Configurations such as logging and connection strings
- bower.json: Client-side dependencies should be configured here
- bundleConfig.json: Bundling is moved to the JSON configuration now
- Program.cs: Everything starts from Main() and any program can be made into a web application using the WebHostBuilder API
- Startup.cs: For adding and configuring startup services like MVC support, logging, static files support and so on
- Controllers, Views: Part of MVC and contains actions and corresponding views
The structure we had discussed so far is illustrated in the following screenshot:

ASP.NET Core Web Application structure
The following highlighted sections in Views\Shared\_Layout.cshtml should be modified with the desired application name:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,
initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>@ViewData["Title"] - MasteringEFCore.Web</title>
...
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<p class="container">
<p class="navbar-header">
...
<a asp-area="" asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Index"
class="navbar-brand">MasteringEFCore.Web</a>
...
<p class="container body-content">
...
<footer>
<p>© 2017 - MasteringEFCore.Web</p>
</footer>
...
</body>
We have created a .NET Core web application with no authentication and explored the structure of the project, which might help us understand MVC in .NET Core. If we expand the dependencies, it is evident that we don't have built-in support for Entity Framework (EF) Core. We will look at the different ways of identifying and installing the packages.
