Angular 4 + Bootstrap 4 + ASP.Net Core 1.1, ASP.Net Core 2 SPA

NOTE: this is an early release of the VS2017 ASP.Net Core 2 code (see the VS2017_2 folder)

This new ASP.Net 2 version of the code is still rough and in need of cleanup, debugging and does not yet have NSwag / Swagger added back in. On the other hand login, logout, password change and the data CRUD functions should work (usually).

What is A2SPA?

A SPA that uses ASP.Net Core for the backend and Angular 4.0 for the front end.
