Hi guys,

I want to create my first Node.js application. 

I can see many available sample.

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/nodejs/nodejs_first_application.htm

https://closebrace.com/tutorials/2017-03-02/creating-a-simple-restful-web-app-with-nodejs-express-and-mongodb

But I want to create one by using MVC 5. Entity Framework. Code First Approach. But not with API. 

Very basic CRUD operation. In index searching and sorting will be fine. 

Can anyone help me. Thanks!

The examples you are citing are for node as a web server, which is an alternative to using MVC and .net. If you want to call .net code from the node server, you would create a second web service in .net use webapi, that the node server called.

There are several node ORM’s you can use instead of entity framework. Try
