I have created a few projects that use AngularJS and WebAPI with Gulp, Bower and NPM for the build. It is a bit clunky as I need to publish into a folder and then run my gulp build and debugging is only possible through rewrite commands in the web.config file. Has anyone found a good way to merge these technologies without moving to ASP.NET 5? Moving isn't an option for me yet.
The best answers I have found close to this topic were in this link:
Using Grunt, Bower, Gulp, NPM with Visual Studio 2015 for a ASP.NET 4.5 Project
but the topic of debugging was not discussed and bundling / minification only a little.
