Overview

Library Manager (LibMan) is included in Visual Studio. LibMan allows you to add external libraries such as Bootstrap.

How

Via Visual Studio

Right-click project > Add > Client-Side Library…

Via LibMan CLI

1. Install the LibMan CLI as a dotnet tool:

   dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.Web.LibraryManager.Cli
   

2. Initialize LibMan in the project:

   libman init
   

   This creates a libman.json file if one does not already exist.
3. Add libraries:

   libman install <library>
    --destination <path>
    --files <file-to-install> # if not specified, install all files in package
    --provider <cdnjs|filesystem|jsdeliver|unkpg>
   

Bootstrap

Add to /wwwroot/lib/bootstrap
