Structure of the Project

Back-End

The back-end is an ASP.NET Core 2.2 WebAPI application.

• Controllers - Add new endpoints by creating or updating Controllers in this directory
• Models - Add data models in this folder
• Interfaces - Add any interfaces that will be implemented in this directory
• Services - Add any services in this directory. Typically services will be making the direct HttpClient and Database interactions
• Startup.cs - Startup configuration exists here, as well as registration of any data services that will be injected into Controllers at runtime

Front-End

You will find the front-end code in the ClientApp directory. This is a fully compatible Angular 7.2.0 CLI application. This means from within the ClientApp folder full ng generate capabilities are available and encouraged.

Running the project

This is an ASP.NET Core 2.2 project with an Angular 6 front-end. The dotnet project is configured to automatically build the Angular project when dotnet run is executed. This means that you do not need to worry about running ng serve -o manually. It also runs in hot reload mode so any changes made to the dotnet code and/or the angular code will cause an automatic reload and refresh in the browser.

Debugging from Visual Studio Code

Included with this project is a .vscode/launch.json file and a .vscode/tasks.json file. This means by default you can run F5 and hit breakpoints in both server and client side code. Sweet!!

If you have issues when first running make sure that the Full stack debug target is chosen.

Contributions Welcome
