ASP.NET Core codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

RealWorld

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with ASP.NET Core (with Feature orientation) including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the ASP.NET Core community styleguides & best practices.

For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

How it works

This is using ASP.NET Core with:

• CQRS and MediatR
  • Simplifying Development and Separating Concerns with MediatR
  • CQRS with MediatR and AutoMapper
  • Thin Controllers with CQRS and MediatR
• AutoMapper
• Fluent Validation
• Feature folders and vertical slices
• Entity Framework Core on SQLite for demo purposes. Can easily be anything else EF Core supports. Open to porting to other ORMs/DBs.
• Built-in Swagger via Swashbuckle.AspNetCore
• Cake for building!
• JWT authentication using ASP.NET Core JWT Bearer Authentication.

This basic architecture is based on this reference architecture: https://github.com/jbogard/ContosoUniversityCore

Getting started

Install the .NET Core SDK and lots of documentation: https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core

Documentation for ASP.NET Core: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/

Docker Build

There is a 'Makefile' for OS X and Linux:

• make build executes docker-compose build
• make run executes docker-compose run

The above might work for Docker on Windows

Local building

• Install Cake as a global tool: dotnet tool install -g Cake.Tool
• Run Cake: dotnet cake build.cake
  • Note: this publishes as an OS X runtime by default. Use the Cake argument runtime passing an RID explained here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/rid-catalog
  • The Dockerfile uses this to publish to Alpine
