Confused file path notations on multiproject solution

Marios Charalambous 40

In my IndexJson.cshtml i have a script notation with src tag:

<script src="~/js/site.js"></script>

But it reads from my Main's project site.js noted with number 2 on my image , instead of reading from site.js number 1.

Hi @Marios Charalambous

Whether the Cities project is a Razor Class Library or an Asp.net core MVC application? Since the Main project is the start-up project, whether you directly add the Cities project in the Main project (via the project reference option) or dynamic load the assembly?

The Main project is in bold which means it is the startup project. Therefore, site.js 2 is the JavaScript file that is returned by the static file handler. The project/solution is functioning as expected.

How can I read from site.js 1 then ?

It is not possible because Cities is not hosted by IISExperss (or IIS). Create another js file with the code you need and place the file in the Main application's wwwroot folder. Then reference the file in the layout or from the IndexJson.cshtml file. Another option is to place the JavaScript within the IndexJson.cshtml file using the @section scripts construct.

Layout in ASP.NET Core

Can you explain the use case? For example, are you trying to create a Razor Class Library?
