Brochard is the implementation of Orchard CMS in Asp.Net VNext (also known as DNX)
First off, follow the instructions here https://github.com/aspnet/home in order to install DNVM. Next install Visual Studio 2015, or what ever you flavour of editor is.
Next you want to clone the Repo. 'git clone https://github.com/OrchardCMS/Brochard.git' and checkout the master branch.
Run the build.cmd file included in the repository to bootstrap DNX and build solution.
Next navigate to 'D:\Brochard\src\Orchard.Web' or where ever your retrospective folder is on the command line in Administrative mode.
run.. 'dnx web' -> Hey you just kicked up the Orchard host.
Then in your browser, call the url... http://localhost:5001/setup/index
When running Brochard, you need a client. The default implementation is to have a client talk to a host.
The client is any project that creates the host.
To create the host in a web project you would do
public class Startup {
public IServiceProvider ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
return services
// AddHostSample is where the magic is done. This extension method lives in the Host (Orchard.Hosting.Web)
.AddHostSample()
.BuildServiceProvider();
}
}The Host has a small wrapper
public static IServiceCollection AddHostSample([NotNull] this IServiceCollection services) {
// This will setup all your core services for a host
return services.AddHost(internalServices => {
// The core of the host
internalServices.AddHostCore();
//... All extra things you want registered so that you don't have to touch the core host.
});Additional locations for module discovery can be added in your host setup.
public static IServiceCollection AddHostSample([NotNull] this IServiceCollection services) {
return services.AddHost(internalServices => {
internalServices.AddHostCore();
// Add folders the easy way
internalServices.AddModuleFolder("~/Core/Orchard.Core");
internalServices.AddModuleFolder("~/Modules");
// Add folders the move configurable way
internalServices.Configure<ExtensionHarvestingOptions>(options => {
var expander = new ModuleLocationExpander(
DefaultExtensionTypes.Module,
new[] { "~/Core/Orchard.Core", "~/Modules" },
"Module.txt"
);
options.ModuleLocationExpanders.Add(expander);
});
});
}
