This was initially a project to explore ASP.NET 5, MVC 6, and EF 7 but eventually ended up being a one page application.

Several tasks have been implemented in 'gulpfile.js' to compile and minify the Sass and Javascript files. The 'boot' task compiles all the Sass, and Javascript files. The 'build' task is the same but additionally watches any Sass and rebuilds the CSS files accordingly if any changes are detected. All Sass files are compiled and minifed into '/wwwroot/css/custom.css' and '/wwwroot/css/custom.min.css'. Library CSS files and 'custom.css' are then concatenated and minified into 'main.css' and 'main.min.css'. Javascript Files are concatenated and minified into '/wwwroot/js/main.js' and '/wwwroot/js/main.min.js'.

The Sass files are located in 'wwwroot/sass' structured into five folders, 'abstracts', 'base', 'components', 'sections', and 'vendors' appropriately. So far the CSS changes are for '/Views/Neila/Index.cshtml' which uses the '/Views/Neila/_Layout.cshtml'.

Two separate 'appsettings.json' files are utilized for environment specific logging and database connections. Further launch configurations can be configured on separate profiles in Launch Settings ('launchSettings.json'). The application starts up by running 'Startup.cs' with takes in these files into consideration.
