Answer 1

Add this to your project.json file:

"scripts": {
  "postcompile": [
    "dotnet pack --no-build --configuration %compile:Configuration%"
  ]
}

This will run the dotnet pack command which will pack your build output produced after compilation into a NuGet package. For more info, see this.

I'm not sure how to only do this in release mode, so I've asked that question here.

UPDATE

Updated the answer based on the other question.

Answer 2

At this point, I don't believe there is an option to do this automatically in VS. You can look into using NuProj to do this if you like.
