wwwroot folder in asp.net core 2.2

Question

I have just created a new ASP.NET Core web application and selected an empty project template. I am using Visual Studio Community 15.7.1.

Upon a first look at the solution explorer I can see no "wwwroot" folder there. Does anyone happen to know if with asp.net core 2.2 the wwwroot is not visible any longer?

I checked the documentation and I could not find anything. No issues in creating another folder and serve my static files from there but I was just curious.

Thanks in advance.

Try adding a new folder to the project and call it wwwroot. It should take on the appearance with the proper icon and work as expected. This always happens to me with .NET Core web apps when I use the empty project template. This is occurring in VS 2017 v15.9.3.
