Compiling HandleBars scripts in Visual Studio 2017 - handlebars.js

Is there any tooling support in VS2017 to pre-compile HandleBarsJs .hbs files in Visual Studio 2017? Web Essentials/WebCompiler no longer appears to support this.
I am looking for an "easy" solution and would prefer not to have to install Node or something else to do this.

Anyone been able to use Angular 4 Quickstart with Visual Studio 2015?

The current Angular Quickstart here: https://github.com/angular/quickstart now puts the index.html and related files under an src folder.
When trying to run the code in Visual Studio 2015 as an asp.net 4.x (not core) project with F5, it can't find the files in the src folder. It works using browser-sync (with npm run) because the bs-config file redefines the base path. Is there anything similar to get the F5 experience to work?
Visual Studio Code is far more better for Angular 4 then Visual Studio 2015( accurately,Visual Studio 2017 as you cannot download Visual Studio 2015 community but 2017 now)
Just in case you wanta asp.netcode with angular 4, here is example:

Please see this repo base on angular quickstart.
I hope to be useful for you.

How to install CSS preprocessor Sass in Visual Studio 2015?

I went to the Tools menu and chose Extensions and Updates, then looked for Mindscape Web WorkBench and could not find it.
Does anyone know where this option is?
Per the Mindscape Web WorkBench, it is compatible with 2010 - 2013, not 2015.

LESS not working in ASP.NET Web Tools 2012.2

I recently upgraded Visual Studio 2012 with the ASP.NET Web Tools 2012.2 update which made LESS files first-class citizens in VS. However, since the upgrade, changes to my .less files aren't converted to .css and .css.min. Also, I don't get the CSS preview pane anymore when I edit my .less files.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled and tried to repair the installation. Any ideas?
According to this question (VS2012.2 LESS Support) Visual Studio 2012 provides first class support for LESS but you still need to install Web Essentials to get the compiler integrated.
