Needing help: How are front-end folks setting up build processes with .NET?

It seems like you're trying to solve a developer experience, or DX, problem. I believe the "norm" is to have these scripts run separately, e.g., run npm start and dotnet watch in separate terminals. However, if you want to make it so you don't have to do that, which is fine everyone develops differently, then you could look into concurrently. Then you could add a script to the frontend's package.json like npm start to run concurrently "webpack serve" "dotnet watch".

  Port of Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices into .NET 6 by using the Jering.Javascript.NodeJS interop library

If you aren't using React or Angular you probably want to take a look at this project, which includes more generic webpack support that Microsoft dropped after Asp.Net Core 2: https://github.com/brunolau/BrunoLau.SpaServices

• vite

  787 64,769 9.9 TypeScript

  Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

  

I use a separate project for the frontend using Vite. It's lightning fast compared to webpack.

• parcel

  168 43,115 9.4 JavaScript

  The zero configuration build tool for the web. 📦🚀

  

Later, I came across Parcel https://parceljs.org/, it really abstracts out a lot of nitty-gritty details and I prefer to use Parcel in my new projects. I don't have enough knowledge to say what to choose when, but, this podcast might help https://frontendhappyhour.com/episodes/a-parcel-of-drinks-parcel/

You can refer to this grpc spa example. It also demonstrates how to use grpc instead of restful API to communicate with dotnet backends.
