Developer Tools' Sources

Hello,

First of all, I am a newbie in HTML/JavaScript/Browser stuffs, all I know is .NET. I have done some experiments using CSHTML5 and everything looks great locally.

I tried to publish the content of Output folder to a remote web server and take a look at how it performs in real life situation. However, the loading time before I can see anything takes up to 5 mins. I wonder if I have done something wrong in the code like an endless loop :o

In addition, when I turn on the web browser's Developer Tools, in the Sources tab, I can see all source code in its original form i.e. C# (attached). This is really holding me back on further development using CSHTML5 :shock:

Please advise :?

I tried to find the configurations and found "bridge.json" which seems to do the job by setting:

Code: Select all

{
   "outputFormatting": "Minified",
   "sourceMap": {
      "enabled": false
}

Is this the right way of doing it?

Moreover, if I have sensitive data e.g. password in the source code, what is the most secured way of storing it (cannot be looked up in the Output folder)? Thanks!

There must be an issue with the deployment. Could you please share the URL to te est your app? I will let you know if I see any issues with the deployment.

As for the question about the password, you shouldn't store the password in the client application. For example, if you need to connect to a database, you should put the connection string on the server side, and let the client connect to the server via web service calls.

I think it was because the VM I used for hosting was too old and slow. Once I changed it to a newer one, the loading time greatly reduces to 5-6 secs which is acceptable :lol:

For storing of sensitive data, I didn't really mean to store real passwords or connection strings but some keywords to enable universal "secret" features (e.g. debug mode) or API key for multi-tenancy purposes. So, there is no way to store data somewhere without being exposed by browsing the source in the developer tools :?:

Also, if I really want to store user-specific passwords (remember me feature) or access tokens, can I store them safely in IsolatedStorageSettings :?:
