JavaScript and TypeScript Projects with React, Angular, or Vue in Visual Studio 2022 with or without .NET

Visual Studio 2022 introduces a new .esproj project type for standalone JavaScript/TypeScript apps. This project type utilizes native CLIs for Angular, React, and Vue, ensuring up-to-date templates. Visual Studio 2022 supports both JavaScript-heavy front-end apps and ASP.NET apps with JavaScript/TypeScript components. It provides a TypeScript NuGet package for building apps with MSBuild. The new JavaScript/TypeScript support in Visual Studio 2022 includes a full JavaScript Language Service based on TypeScript. It enables developers to create a solution with an .esproj for the front end and a .csproj for the ASP.NET Web API backend. Visual Studio 2022 allows developers to add an ASP.NET Web API integration to a JavaScript/TypeScript front-end app, enabling the front end to call the Web API backend. The React CLI is used to create the front end, ensuring the desired version of React is installed. Visual Studio 2022 provides flexibility in choosing the web server and web browser for JavaScript/TypeScript development, allowing developers to use the Launch.json file to specify their preferences. Developers can also choose to use TypeScript/JavaScript as a secondary component in an ASP.NET Core project, allowing them to bring in JavaScript/TypeScript functionality to an existing ASP.NET app.
