Introduction

What is this project about?

The landing page is for an international company called “Acme Corporation” where users can enter a draw for a prize.

A user can enter the draw if they have a valid serial number from purchasing one of Acme Corporation’s products.

You can test the valid product serial number in the ~/ASP.NET-website/"Product serial numbers.txt" file.

The valid product serial number can be used twice in the draw, but the user must fill out a form and be at least 18 years old.

Getting started

Clone repo

Clone via PowerShell.

git clone https://github.com/Flakvard/ASP.NET-website.git

Open path in File Explorer.

cd ASP.NET-website/AcmeCorporation && explorer .

And then open AcmeCorporation.sln via Visual Studio.

Database setup

Inside appsettings.json there is the default login. No username or password needed, but be sure to add the database to a working Server=<server>. MSSQL Management studio you can find relevant information about this.

  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "Server=LAPTOP-AV3K8LV5;Database=AcmeCorp;Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=True;"

There are already 100 valid serial numbers generated via Add-Migration, so you only need to Update-Database inside the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio like this:

PM> Update-Database

Implementation

The aim was to try an create an flexible, maintainable, and testable system that can adapt to changing requirements over time.

This was done by:

• Defining the layers of the project
• Try to hold SOLID principles on all levels to improve modularity and testability.
• Test everything
• Implementing Inversion of Control (IoC) using Dependency Injection (DI) between the layers/components.
• Using EntityFramework ORM for the Data layer/repository

There is of course other ways to do this, and I could add more abstractions layers, but I did not think it was neccesery for the assignment.

I tried my best to hold the YAGNI principles and not go by "ifs/maybes".

Assignment:

• Using Visual Studio
• Create a web application project
• Create secondary projects for
  • test
  • class library content
• Create database and table(s) to store information for the draw
• README.md steps to get the database running locally
• Generate 100 valid serial numbers
  • Export the generated serial numbers for submitting ("~/Product serial numbers.txt")
• Create a submission form on a web page (should include):
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email address
  • Product serial number
  • Over 18 (Yes/no) (My addition to the form)
• Form submission data needs to be:
  • validated and
  • stored in the database
  • Both client-side and server-side validation on user input. (My addition to the form)
• Create a web page showing all the form submissions
  • Pagination showing 10 items per page
• Write unit tests for validating the form data to ensure that the rules for entering the draw are followed

Bonus:

• Use IoC/Dependency Injection for the solution
  • Dependency Injection into ASP.NET WebApplication pipeline builder
    • IDrawManager
    • IApplicationDbContext
• Unit test for the Controller action submitting the form
  • Serverside validation with invalid and valid
  • Get submissions via Async and JSON (for AJAX)
• Display submissions via AJAX GET method
• Notification of successful form submission
• Write a README.md file at the root of your repository
• Require authenticated access to view the report of form submissions
