Asp.net MVC5, how to load .hbs file

Question

I'm trying to use (handlebar) .hbs template in ASP.net MVC5 project, but I can not load the .hbs file.

it occurs HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

I load like this,

define [
    'hbs!./index'
],

and I confirmed the path is fine. (http://local_host:1460/Scripts/js/apps/index/index.hbs)

Do I need to set about .hbs extension in somewhere?

Anybody know, please advice me.

Yes, you need to tell IIS Express how to handle .hbs. Just add the following to your project's web.config:

<system.webServer>
  ...
  <staticContent>
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".hbs" mimeType="text/x-handlebars-template" />
  </staticContent>
</system.webServer>
