The environment tag helper supports rendering different content dependent on the current value of the ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT environment variable for the application.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
names |
The name(s) of the environment(s) for which the content should be rendered |
include |
The name(s) of the environment(s) for which the content should be rendered |
exclude |
The name(s) of the environment(s) for which the content should not be rendered |
Notes
The most common use case for the environment tag helper is to include the full version of CSS or JavaScript files when the application is in a development stage, and the bundled and minified versions when the application is in other environments.
<environment names="Development">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/style1.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/style2.css" />
</environment>
<environment names="Staging, Test, Production">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/style.min.css" />
</environment>
If an environment name is part of an exclude list, the content will not be rendered under any circumstances for that environment. Inclusion in the exclude list overrides inclusion in the include list or the names list.
