When you run Install-Package Moment.js, js is being saved at the path C:\Users\waseemahmad\.nuget\packages\moment.js\\2.23.0\Content\Scripts. Not sure why not saved in the solution directory.

I've had a look at this and it works with 'full-cream' .Net projects but simply doesn't work with .net core projects. The moment.nuspec and generated .nupkg are fine. As mentioned by @waseemahmad31 the scripts end up in the user's packages folder and would need to be copied (i.e. not a great solution).

According to this issue you have to use the <contentFiles> tag in the .nuspec

I'm not sure what else we can do here.

Hi, this is still an issue with VS2019 and a asp.net core project. Installing moment via nuget doesn't copy the files into the wwwroot/lib location like it does for other js libraries like jquery and bootstrap

how are you meant to include the moment script on a view if theres no file in the project?

Seeing the same problem in VS2019 and .NET Core 3.1 with a ASP.NET Core project.
