Nancy serving views from module in separate library
Question
I'm new to Nancy and I'm trying to setup a webapp with each module/controller in separate project. Main project is empty ASP.NET project and uses Nancy.Hosting.Aspnet nuget package.
What is the elegant way to have this kind of setup?
Say I have the following solution structure:
/ModuleA
- ModuleA.csproj
- IndexA.cshtml (Copy to Output Directory = Copy Always)
/MainModule (references ModuleA)
- MainModule.csproj
- Index.cshtml
Currently to serve IndexA view from ModuleA I have to write View["bin/IndexA"] , which seems pretty ugly because it will also require prefixing javascript/css in the same manner.

You need to configure the nancy conventions in the bootstrapper. Here's the nancy docs: https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy/wiki/View-location-conventions .
Given this solution structure:
/ModuleA
- ModuleA.csproj
- views/IndexA.cshtml (Copy to Output Directory = Copy Always)
- assets/foo.js (Copy to Output Directory = Copy Always)
/MainModule (references ModuleA)
- MainModule.csproj
- Index.cshtml
In the MainModule bootstrapper:
public class Bootstrapper : DefaultNancyBootstrapper
{
protected override void ConfigureConventions(Nancy.Conventions.NancyConventions nancyConventions)
{
base.ConfigureConventions(nancyConventions);
// for views in referenced projects
nancyConventions.ViewLocationConventions.Add(
(viewName, model, context) => string.Concat("bin/views/", viewName));
// for assets in referenced projects
nancyConventions.StaticContentsConventions.Add(
Nancy.Conventions.StaticContentConventionBuilder.AddDirectory("assets", "bin/assets"));
}
}
In IndexA.cshtml :
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<script src="/assets/foo.js"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
As mentioned by @eth0 in the comments, you can also use views saves as resources but this is outside the scope of my answer. Here is a good article on the topic: http://colinmackay.scot/2013/05/02/configuring-the-nancy-to-use-views-in-a-separate-assembly/
