Using scopes in ASP.NET 5

Question

I have an ASP.NET vNext (5) project. I am trying to add two areas to the project. My question is: how do I register areas in vNext? The System.Web.Mvc has disappeared, and an AreaRegistrationContext has been specified in it. I started searching in the MVC source code on GitHub. I found the Area attribute. However, I am not sure how to use it now.

Can someone explain to me (or provide a link) about how to use scopes in ASP.NET vNext?

Thanks!

In vNext, you register and configure the services that you intend to use in Startup.cs. Regional routes are added as regular routes. There is a sample here: https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/blob/dev/samples/MvcSample.Web/Startup.cs

You can add an MVC route for such an area:

 app.UseMvc(routes => { routes.MapRoute("areaRoute", "{area:exists}/{controller}/{action}"); }); 

Or you can use the route attribute as follows: [Route("[area]/Home")]

The [Area] attribute adorns controllers included in an area. It takes only one parameter, the name of the area. Here is an example: https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/blob/dev/samples/MvcSample.Web/Areas/Travel/Controllers/HomeController.cs

 [Area("Travel")] public class HomeController : Controller { //... }
