ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0 Cookbook

How to do it...

1. First, we import the following dependency to be able to use caching in ASP.NET Core applications:

"Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory": "2.0.0"  

2. Next, we import the MVC dependency:

"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc": "2.0.0"  

3. We can now add the cache middleware:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) 
{ 
    services.AddMemoryCache(); 
    services.AddMvc(); } 
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app) 
{ 
    app.UseMvc(routes => 
    { 
        routes.MapRoute( 
        name: "default", 
        template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}"); 
    }); 
} 

4. Next, we create two folders at the project root, Controllers and Views.
5. We then create HomeController.cs by right-clicking on the Controllers directory and selecting Add | New item | MVC Controller ...
