'How to build and deploy a Nodejs console project created in Visual Studio
In Visual Studio you can create a NodeJS console application, you can run and debug in Visual Studio.
I want to deploy it on a window server, beside with IIS, my IIS web application can invoke it through Jering.Javascript.NodeJS from my c# code(Asp.net):
StaticNodeJSService.InvokeFromFileAsync<string>("nodejs\app.js", args: new string[] {})
When I build the project in Visual Studio, the bin folder only has this file: Microsoft.NodejsTools.WebRole.dll, I have no idea what this file is for.
It works on my local, because I have nodejs runtime environment set up and all dependencies installed under npm.
Now I want to deploy it on server, one way to make it work on server is to copy all the project files into a folder and install all the dependencies through npm, If I have to do so, what the visual studio 'build' for?

we use pm2 to manage node js apps on windows
Install pm2 as windows service, use pm2 start to start your app
then you can call it in C# code through http or socket
