Add Prebuild or Postbuild to dotnet core projects

Question

Is there any way to add prebuild/postbuild options in dotnet core projects in Visual Studio ?

There is no option to add build events in project properties as it used to be with Standard dot net projects

Answer 1

According the documentation, you can add commands, in scripts section, in project.json file.

"scripts": {
    "precompile": [ "echo before" ],
    "postcompile": [ "echo after" ]
}

Answer 2

Here is an example:

<Project... >
      :
  <Target Name="PreBuild" BeforeTargets="PreBuildEvent">
    <Exec Command="echo before" />
  </Target>
  <Target Name="PostBuild" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
    <Exec Command="echo after" />
  </Target>
      :
</Project>
