ModernBusiness.OC.RazorPages

Start Bootstrap's Modern Business Theme for Orchard Core as a decoupled Razor Pages Module

Setup

Need to git clone https://github.com/BlackrockDigital/startbootstrap-modern-business into src/Themes.Pages/ModernBusiness.Theme/wwwroot/

Some things to note

• Your modules project (.csproj) files, if using the Razor Pages framework, should be using the Razor sdk, like so: <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor">
• To have easy access to the OrchardHelper and related Orchard services, make sure your Razor Pages inherit from OrchardCore.DisplayManagement.RazorPages.Page like so @inherits OrchardCore.DisplayManagement.RazorPages.Page. This is done in _ViewImports.cshtml. This counts for razor views like partials as well, except, you inherit from OrchardCore.DisplayManagement.Razor.RazorPage like so @inherits OrchardCore.DisplayManagement.Razor.RazorPage<TModel>
• In most modules, besides referencing OrchardCore.Module.Targets, you will want to reference OrchardCore.DisplayManagement, OrchardCore.Media, OrchardCore.ContentManagement, OrchardCore.Content and OrchardCore.ResourceManagement
• Every Razor Pages module needs a to add an AreaFolderRoute if it wants to be able to respond to requests. For example like:

  services.Configure<RazorPagesOptions>(options =>
  {
      options.Conventions.AddAreaFolderRoute("ModernBusiness.Pages.Portfolio", "/", "");
  });

• The _ViewStart of each module points to "Layout". The Layout will be resolved from the .Theme module, from Views\Shared.
• For the NotFound.cshtml (for 404 status cases), the Layout will be resolved from Views, as this is OC's default Layout location.
