Question

Hello I`m new in asp net core, I`m comming from aspnet framework 

Today I create a new project aspnet core for study and I saw that Visual Studio create a structure with a folder named "pages>Shared>_Layout.cshtml", as aspnet framework I understand this layout is a comum html to my pages. 

when I opened this file I can see a line with code "@RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)"

in aspnet Framework this "Scripts" is a bundle script file that is create on bundle.cs but in aspnet core I couldn`t find this "Scripts" where it is ? how can I add new *.js files in it?

Use the standard <script> syntax.

@section scripts{ 
    <script src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        //JavaScript 
    </script>
}

where should I create it ? in what file? (I mean in best practices)

and If it is not created yet by default, why visual studio try "add a file that not exists" ?

The scripts section goes in the View.  It's just a tool you can use to insert scripts at the bottom of the _layout.ashtml page.

@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
}

<h1>Index</h1>

@section scripts{ 
    <script src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        //JavaScript 
    </script>
}
