Govern CMS EDMX Diagram

I'm making good progress on my new Government Content Management System (Govern CMS).

Probably have another 1-2 weeks of development before I have a minimum viable product.

Here is my Entity Framework EDMX for that System:

HTML Helpers - ASP.NET MVC's equivalent of JSTL Custom Taglibs

I have found the equivalent of Java's JSTL Custom Taglibs: HTML Helpers.

I started moving logic out of my Razor Views and into HTML Helper classes.

Here's my first, and it's a beauty (uses recursion to build out nested lists):

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41

public static class CategoryExtensions     {         public static IHtmlString CategoryDisplay(this HtmlHelper helper, IEnumerable<category> categories, int indentSize)         {             string indentString = "";             for (int i = 0; i < indentSize; i++)             {                 indentString += " ";             }             StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();             stringBuilder.Append("<div class="\"dd\"" name="\"category-nestable\"" id="\"nestable\"">\n");             stringBuilder.Append(BuildList(categories, indentString));             stringBuilder.Append(indentString).Append("</div>");             return new HtmlString(stringBuilder.ToString());         }           private static IHtmlString BuildList(IEnumerable<category> categories, string indentString)         {             StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();               stringBuilder.Append(indentString).Append("  <ol class="\"dd-list\"">\n");               foreach (Category category in categories)             {                 stringBuilder.Append(indentString).Append("    <li class="\"dd-item\"" data-type="\"section\"" data-id="\""" +="" category.categoryid="" "\"="" id="\""">\n");                 stringBuilder.Append(indentString).Append("      <div class="\"dd-handle\"">\n");                 stringBuilder.Append(indentString).Append("        <span style="\"font-weight:" bold\"="">" + category.CategoryName + "</span>\n");                 stringBuilder.Append(indentString).Append("      </div>\n");                 if (category.SubCategories.Any())                 {                     indentString += "  ";                     stringBuilder.Append(BuildList(category.SubCategories, indentString));                 }                 stringBuilder.Append(indentString).Append("    </li>\n");             }             stringBuilder.Append(indentString).Append("  </ol>\n");               return new HtmlString(stringBuilder.ToString());         }     } </category></category>

I'm glad to get the logic out of the Razor views (which should not have such complex logic) and into proper C# classes.

Angular 4 node_modules

Wow ... I'm planning on building my Angular 4 App this weekend.  I am working through the tutorial and just had a moment of horror ...

217 MB for a JavaScript Framework?!  You've got to be kidding me.  

There are over 700 subdirectories under node_modules. 

Now, I did take a look at the HTML generated and it does not appear to reference node_modules.  I am going to see if I can get away with NOT deploying it.
