ASP.NET Core Identity Example

This project complements my blog post: https://gldraphael.com/blog/getting-started-with-identity-in-asp-net-core/

Setting up your dev environment and this project solution

• Install Visual Studio or any text editor of your choice like VS Code
• Install MySql and create a new database (you can also use postgres or SQL Server etc; refer to my blog post or Microsoft Docs)
• Clone this repo
• Open up the solution (directory) in VS / your text editor
• Rename Web/appsettings.Development.example.json to appsettings.Development.json
• Update the ConnectionStrings with the correct parameters. (If you're not using MySql replace it with an appropriate connection string.)
• If you don't use MySql, you'll need to regenerate the Migrations folder.
• Run the migrations using dotnet ef database update (from the Web project directory).
