I am trying to recreate the ASP.NET Single Page application as demonstrated by Steven Sanderson
Single Page Applications – for desktop, mobile, tablet with ASP.NET MVC4
I have downloaded and installed the Build Preview – http://www.asp.net/vnext
I have using NuGet, tried to update my SPA Scaffolding to ASP.NET SPA MVC 4 (Beta)
I am running Visual Studio 2012
When i create a new MVC4 application, there are some distinctive differences between what i have and the demo’s i see.
Primarily, after create a new project, if you view what you have the sites look completely difference

Then continuing to follow his example, he created a controller and has an option of
Single Page Application with read/write actions and views, using Entity Framework
This is not avaiable in my Create Controller Dialog

Why are my options differen’t?
What have I not installed?
Thanks for any help
The new SPA template is a completely different template, as you have discovered. Short story … the new template is revised to be a starting place, the old template was deemed too prescriptive.
The new template is a preview and will have more changes by the time it is released. The idea is you can use it as a starting point for a SPA and then add features and other libraries as needed.
UPDATE: If you want more info on what’s in the latest template you can read my post here: http://www.johnpapa.net/insidespatemplate
