Activities of "jeflux"

Actually, ABP Suite searches for some specific directories in your solution. It generates UI for all the UI types if it finds the folder. But you can overwrite these paths in the appsettings.json files. some users change their Angular path, if it's being updated also in the appsettings.json file it'll create the necessary code.

did you try to set paths for your Angular or MVC projects

I did change the path and framework from MVC to angular. The project then shows up in ABP suite as angular. However, when I attempt to generate code, it still generates MVC UI code.

I deleted the web project path. When I click generate, it would re-add the path to the appsettings.json file. So I removed the web project from the solution, but it did the same thing. Then I went a step further and deleted the web project files and set the web project path in the appsettings to null again. When I do this, ABP suite generates no UI code, and the console shows "no command"

At this point, with no MVC project or files, if I re-add the solution to AVP suite, it's still detects it as an MVC solution.

While trying a bunch of things, I did get it to generate angular code for this project. I had miscellaneous junk files from trying a bunch of things, so I reset my git repo to clean up, then I was going to start generating angular code for real. However, I cannot repeat my success. I know I'm close, I suspect it's that I need a folder named "angular" in a specific location.

there's no automatic way to switch a project's UI Framework to another.

ABP Suite settings are stored in the following file

%UserProfile%\.abp\suite\appsettings.json  

You can find the UI Framework settings in the following fields:

• UiFrameworkName , update it from Mvc to Angular
• UiFramework update it from 2 to 3

I didn't test if this works because it's hacky way :)

Ah. This I wanted to try, but wasn't sure where to make the changes. When I make those changes and regenerate UI, ABP Suite is still only generating the MVC code.

When I load an existing solution into ABP Suite, how does it know the UI Framework? Do I need to change it there also? For example, I made the changes you suggested. When it didn't work, I tried to remove solution from ABP Suite, and when I re-added it, the values in appsettings.json had the MVC configuration (the manual changes I made were not persisted)

I've generated a new solution using Angular for UI and compared to one of my existing solutions I want to migrate from MVC to Angular. As you suggested, I made these changes:

• UiFrameworkName , update it from Mvc to Angular
• UiFramework update it from 2 to 3

I also noted that my appsettings file has an entry for "WebProjectDirectory." In the newly-generated Angular solution, this value is null. So, I changed it to null for the solution I'm attempting to migrate.

When I then attempt to generate some UI elements using ABP suite, it still generates MVC UI code. Also, the "WebProjectDirectly" value get's changed from null back to it's path to the web project (even if I remove the web project from the VS Solution).

When I generate a new entity in the Angular app, I see in ABP Suite logs "AngularUiGenerateWithSchematicsCommand started", But with MVC you see instead: "MvcUiGenerateCommand started..."

Do you know how ABP Suite is determining whether to call Angular generate or MVC generate? Is there something in the Solution that tells ABP Suite to use MVC?
