services.AddScoped<IMainNavigationNodeBuilder, MainNavigationNodeBuilder>();
services.AddSingleton<ITenantContentProvider, TenantContentProvider>();

2. Migrate razor views to HTML partials together with metadata

• The JSON files have the following content, that will be deserialized to League.Models.TenantContent.ContentItems

  "MenuTitel": "<The titel as show in the menu>",
