With the aspnet JavaScriptServices package [1], you can have universal apps on aspnet core. It runs javascript packages from the aspnet runtime, and this works very well. There is a yeoman scaffolder that sets up your aspnet core projects with React, React/Redux, Angular 2 or Knockout, complete with typescript, babel and webpack hotloading on the frontend. Just do a "dotnet migrate" to migrate to the project to the new csproj format. [1] https://github.com/aspnet/JavaScriptServices https://github.com/aspnet/JavaScriptServices
