HTMLHelper Extensions Bundling

Getting started with the Bundling Extensions

The purpose of the Bundling Controller Extensions is to allow for an individual to add per page script bundle and style bundle references from the controller to the head of the view.
To get started follow these steps:

1. To get started you will need to add this using statement in your controller if you have not already done so.
   using UAngelASPExtentions.ASPMVCControllerExtentions
2. You will also need to add required code to the view.
   This will require a few steps if you have not already done so while working with another extension category. If you have followed these steps already in another section please ignore them.
   
   1. 1. Find the "~\Views\webconfig" file
      2. In the file find the <namespaces>; under <pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">; under <system.web.webPages.razor>; under the root.
      3. Add the line <add namespace="AngelASPExtentions.ASPMVCRazorHTMLHelperExtentions" />
   2. Add the following Code to the html head of the view @Html.RenderBundles(). Note: This may be located in a layout view.

!Note!: ViewBag.ScriptBundles should be kept empty as the method makes use of this property name space in the view bag. If it is not empty It may throw an exception.

Using the Bundling Extensions

Usage Is simple after adding @Html.RenderBundles() to the views head.

Script Bundles

To add a script simply follow these steps:

1. Make a script bundle. If you need help with this visit Bundling and Magnification Documents as the bundling system its self is a MS product.
2. Then you will need to the following code to your controller where appropriate. @Html.AddToRenderscriptBundles("~YourBundle") and it will return a the HTMLHelper so that you can chain call.

Style Bundles

To add a style simply follow these steps:

1. Make a style bundle. If you need help with this visit Bundling and Magnification Documents as the bundling system its self is a MS product.
2. Then you will need to the following code to your controller where appropriate. @Html.AddToRenderStyleBundles("~YourBundle") and it will return a the contoller so that you can chain call.
