Does ASP.NET Core integrate with Node.js?

Question

ASP.NET

I updated yeoman aspnet when generating a new ASP.NET Core project and noticed the appearance of a large number of packages, folders and files from Node.js, does this mean a merger of the two platforms? Is it possible not to generate such a mixture but pure ASP.NET Core? What are the benefits of such a neighborhood?

Answer 1

In ASP.NET Core, the node is mainly used to build and manage the front-end (bundle, less, etc.). The advantage is that those who write the front-end are all familiar, and in ASP.NET there is no need to write your own bicycles and crutches.
