Weavy server

An ASP.NET Core MVC application for hosting Weavy backend services.

Prerequisites

The following is required to build and run the application.

• .NET SDK (we also recommend installing Visual Studio 2022 with the ASP.NET and web devopment workloads)
• SQL Server 2019
• SQL Server Management Studio

Getting started

• Install the tools above.
• Open SQL Server Management Studio and create a new database (we suggest you call it weavy).
• Create a file named appsettings.json in the src folder. Add settings for database connection string and license as described below:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "Weavy": "server=localhost;database=weavy;trusted_connection=true;"
  },
  "Weavy": {
    "License": "YOUR-LICENSE-KEY"
  }
}

Build and run

Open a terminal window in the src folder and run the following command:

dotnet run

If the application does not start, or if you get an error on startup, the console should contain an error message describing the problem.

Alternatively, if you have Visual Studio installed, you can also open the weavy-server.sln file and select "Debug > Start Without Debugging" from the menu (or press Ctrl+F5) to build and run the application.
