Pagefind.Net.Frontend

Ships the Pagefind browser query runtime (pagefind.js and wasm.en.pagefind) as embedded resources. An MSBuild target automatically extracts the files into your project on build -- no npm install required.

Ships Pagefind 1.5.2 runtime.

Automatic extraction

Install the package and the frontend files appear in wwwroot/pagefind/ after every build:

dotnet add package Pagefind.Net.Frontend

The output path is configurable in your .csproj:

<PropertyGroup>
  <PagefindFrontendOutputPath>wwwroot/pagefind</PagefindFrontendOutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>

To disable automatic extraction entirely:

<PropertyGroup>
  <PagefindFrontendDisableExtract>true</PagefindFrontendDisableExtract>
</PropertyGroup>

Programmatic API

Extract the runtime files from code using PagefindFrontend.ExtractToAsync:

using Pagefind.Net.Frontend;

string[] written = await PagefindFrontend.ExtractToAsync("wwwroot/pagefind");

The method writes files only when the embedded version is newer than what is already on disk (tracked via a version marker file). Pass force: true to always overwrite.

An overload accepting IFileSystem is available for testing.

ASP.NET integration

ASP.NET does not recognize Pagefind's custom file extensions by default. Register them in your static file middleware:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles;

var contentTypeProvider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
contentTypeProvider.Mappings[".pf_meta"] = "application/octet-stream";
contentTypeProvider.Mappings[".pf_index"] = "application/octet-stream";
contentTypeProvider.Mappings[".pf_fragment"] = "application/octet-stream";
contentTypeProvider.Mappings[".pagefind"] = "application/wasm";

app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions { ContentTypeProvider = contentTypeProvider });

Without these mappings, the Pagefind JS runtime will receive 404 responses when loading index data.
