dotnet-core-store

A sample e-commerce demo using asp.net core 2.1 & angular 6

Required Dependencies

Install latest sdk and cli tools (2.1 required for WebApiController annotations)

• .net core sdk 2.1
• .net core cli 2.1

Update dotnet project templates

• dotnet new --install Microsoft.DotNet.Web.Spa.ProjectTemplates::2.1.0
• dotnet new --install Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates::2.1.0-preview1-final

Install global Angular CLI tools

npm i -g // TODO

Getting Started

Generate a new project using the angular spa template

dotnet new angular -o dotnet-core-store

If packages didn't restore automatically, do it manually

dotnet restore

Update npm dependencies for the client app

cd clientapp && npm install

Run the app. The client app will start automatically in the background with ng serve configured for HMR in dev mode

cd .. && dotnet run

Deploying to Azure

We will deploy to an Azure App Service Free Tier instance. The client app will be built automatically using ng build when the dotnet publish command is invoked.

Next Steps

• Add Swagger/Swashbuckle integration for auto-generated API docs (3rd party middleware example)
• Add tests and configure a CI/CD pipeline tool (basic DevOps configuration)
• Configure Docker containers to deploy to Linux and Windows hosts with one command (showcase cross-platform features)
