NuGet package from project.json with content files

I'm making a NuGet package containing some views and controllers that I want to include in a number of MVC Core 1 projects so that we can share application areas such as user management.

With these pack options I am obtaining a .nupkg that does indeed contain the files.

     "scripts": {
    "postcompile": [ "dotnet pack --no-build --configuration %compile:Configuration%" ] // rwb
  },

  "packOptions": {
    ...
    "files": {
      "include": [ "wwwroot/**.*", "Views/**.*" ]
    }
}

However, the .nuspec file inside the .nupkg does not contain any files elements and thus the included files do not get copied into the target project.

What do I need to do in order to get the files element to be produced in the .nuspec file?

NuGet packages in dotnetcore are not intended for content file sharing. You can embed the files in your assembly or use Bower.
