I added a target file to my rcl project in the build directory, I have these properties specified in rcl project so that packaging occures without a nuspec file:
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
<Nullable>enable</Nullable>
<ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
<AssemblyVersion>1.0.0.8801</AssemblyVersion>
<SignAssembly>False</SignAssembly>
<IsPackable>true</IsPackable>
<GeneratePackageOnBuild>True</GeneratePackageOnBuild>
<PackageId>StaticAssets</PackageId>
<Version>1.0.5</Version>
<Authors>mz</Authors>
<Company>harris</Company>
<Title>StaticAssets</Title>
<PackageOutputPath>$(SolutionDir)\Packages</PackageOutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>
Now I have these so that .targets file is packed:
<ItemGroup>
<None Update="build\StaticAssets.targets">
<Pack>true</Pack>
<CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
</None>
</ItemGroup>
but in my main project after adding this rcl package the .targets file is in the contentFiles folder I want it to be in the build folder so that it is built every time the project builds, also this is the targets file content I put in the build folder of the rcl project:
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Target Name="CopyStaticAssets" AfterTargets="Build">
<ItemGroup>
<StaticAssets Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\contentFiles\any\any\assets\**\*.*" />
</ItemGroup>
<Copy SourceFiles="@(StaticAssets)"
DestinationFiles="@(StaticAssets->'$(ProjectDir)\wwwroot\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')" />
<!--DestinationFolder="$(OutputPath)\wwwroot\assets\%(RecursiveDir)" SkipUnchangedFiles="true" />-->
</Target>
</Project>
