Description
The big change here is to allow the client to automatically build its files if they have changed since the last build. This is code taken from the Backoffice RCL included with Umbraco, which works by adding a few targets to the .csproj file to restore npm and run
vite build.Changes
How to test
It's a little complicated to test, but essentially you need to pack the whole solution and add the template manually approx. like so:
dotnet pack -o ../artifacts dotnet new uninstall Umbraco.Templates dotnet new install ../artifacts/Umbraco.Templates.*Following that, you need to spin up an Umbraco solution and add the template to it:
mkdir MyTest cd MyTest dotnet new umbraco -n MyTest.Web dotnet new sln dotnet new umbraco-extension -n MyTest.Client -ex dotnet sln add MyTest.Client dotnet add MyTest.Web/MyTest.Web.csproj reference MyTest.Client/MyTest.Client.csprojThen run the site:
Now verify that the site can build and the examples are working.
