Quick Start

1. Register Services

In the Program.cs file of your ASP.NET Core application, register the Bootswatch services:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container
builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddBootswatchStyles(); // Add Bootswatch services

var app = builder.Build();

// Configure the HTTP request pipeline
if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
    app.UseHsts();
}

app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseBootswatchStaticFiles(); // Enable Bootswatch static files

app.UseRouting();
app.MapRazorPages();

app.Run();
