ExtCore allows you to decouple your application into the modules (or extensions) and reuse that modules in other applications in various combinations. Each ExtCore extension may consist of one or more projects and each project may include everything you want (as any other ASP.NET Core project). Controllers, view components, views (added as resources and/or precompiled), static content (added as resources) will be resolved automatically. These projects (extension pieces) may be added to the application directly as dependencies in project.json of your main application project (as source code or NuGet packages), or by copying compiled DLL-files to the Extensions folder. ExtCore supports both of these approaches out of the box and at the same time.
