Javascript files in "feature folders/slices" Aspnet Core

I want to adapt the feature folders/slices for my aspnet core MVC app.

I have managed to server controller and cshtml files from the features folder.

enter image description here

With this code...

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace MyApp.Web
{
    public class FeatureFolderViewLocationExpander : IViewLocationExpander
    {
        public void PopulateValues(ViewLocationExpanderContext context)
        {
            /* no-op */
        }

        public IEnumerable<string> ExpandViewLocations(ViewLocationExpanderContext context, IEnumerable<string> viewLocations)
        {
            // {0} - Action Name
            // {1} - Controller Name
            // {2} - Area name

            object area;
            if (context.ActionContext.RouteData.Values.TryGetValue("area", out area))
            {
                yield return "/Areas/{2}/{1}/{0}.cshtml";
                yield return "/Areas/{2}/Shared/{0}.cshtml";
                yield return "/Areas/Shared/{0}.cshtml";
            }
            else
            {
                yield return "/Features/{1}/{0}.cshtml";
                yield return "/Features/Shared/{0}.cshtml";
            }
        }
    }
}

and..

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddControllersWithViews();
    services.Configure<RazorViewEngineOptions>(options =>
    {
        options.ViewLocationExpanders.Add(new FeatureFolderViewLocationExpander());
    });
}

... but I have not managed to server the .js files from the features folder (eg. home.js in my solution above).

Is is possible?

If you want to access the static files outside of web root , you could configure the Static File Middleware as follows :

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
    {
        ...

        app.UseStaticFiles();//For the wwwroot folder

        app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
        {
            FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
        Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "Features")),
            RequestPath = "/Features"
        });

        ...
    }

Then access it with the below path

<script src="~/Features/Home/home.js"></script>
