Visual Studio project for Javascript, HTML website with debugging

In VS 2022 empty ASP project will create following Porgram.cs:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!");

app.Run();

To run simple index.html page change this file to this:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.UseDefaultFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles();

app.Run();

Then create a wwwroot folder directly inside the project and put the index.html in this folder.

I've found above steps in this video

As GrafiCode said. Create an empty ASP.Net website.

The image above shows how to create an empty ASP.Net website. Hope it helps you.

ASP.Net always represents the backend, where your data come from and in "Views" you can just create normal html pages and of cause you can use Java script in there.

HomeController

public IActionResult Index()
{
    return View();
}

And in Views you have a Index file in "Home". There you can start with your page, but data only comes from the C# code if you need data from the database.

But my recommendation would be, if you just want to use html and javascript. Install VS Code and javascript via nvm and create a file index.html.
