Frizerski-Salon-ML

Project Info

This website was made using Angular 14 and ASP.NET 6

The big idea behind the website is that the admin has close to complete control of the text, images, and partly the layout

Visit the website at https://salonmlsarajevo.com/admin-test and click around to emulate being the admin. Using the preceding link sets an invalid token in local storage - allowing you to pretend to be an admin on the front end, but not allowing any changes to occur in the backend (you will receive expected 401 responses)

Be sure to check the "Tips and Tricks" in the footer for more information

Credit to book author and template creator

This was the first website I've made and deployed, and the first time using Angular. Credit to utilizing angular goes to author of this book - I read the book before starting this project

In addition, this template(s) was purchased and built upon

• Run the command npm install -g @angular/cli@14

Installing Git, downloading the code, and installing node packages

1. Download Git here
2. Open Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt and run the following commands:
3. Run cd C:\
4. Run mkdir Projects
5. Run cd Projects
6. To download the code run git clone https://github.com/dzenis-zigo/Frizerski-Salon-ML.git
7. Run cd Frizerski-Salon-ML\SalonML\SalonML
8. To install libraries run npm install
9. Leave the shell window open for upcoming commands

Installing .NET 6 SDK

• Download from this link (make sure you choose SDK not Runtime)

Installing and running Visual Studio 2022 Community

1. Download the Community version here
2. Choose "ASP.NET and web development" and "Azure development" at the install screen
3. When install is finished, open the Solution file at the following directory: C:\Projects\Frizerski-Salon-ML\SalonML
4. Right click the solution in the Solution Explorer window and select "Set Startup Projects"
5. Under "Single startup project", select SalonML_API

Setting up secrets.json

1. Right click on the SalonML_API project and select "Manage User Secrets"
2. Copy paste the following code (wait until the next step to insert the SQL Server Connection String):

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "<SQL Server Connection String>"
  },
  "DefaultUsers": {
    "DefaultEmailOne": "<Valid email>"
    "DefaultPassword": "<Password with 8 characters: 1 lowercase, 1 uppercase, 1 digit, and 1 special character>"
  },
  "JwtSettings": {
    "SecurityKey": "<String with at least 16 characters>"
  },
  "SendInBlue": {
    "APIKey": "<Get an Email API Key online at sendinblue.com (optional if you don't plan to use reset password or contact form features)>"
  }
}

3. Make sure you replace DefaultUsers:DefaultEmailOne and DefaultUsers:DefaultPassword with valid values or else you will get errors in a future step

Installing SQL Server 2022

1. Download the Express edition here
2. When finished copy the Connection String into the previous step's secrets.json ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection field
   • If you have trouble with the string, it should look something like this: Server=localhost\\SQLEXPRESS01;Database=<DB Name>;Trusted_Connection=True;
   • Make sure to replace <DB Name> with salon-ml (it should by default be master)
3. Click the Install SSMS and then download SQL Server Management Studio 18.12.1

Installing SQL Server Management Studio

2. Navigate to C:\Projects\Frizerski-Salon-ML\SalonML\SalonML_API and execute the command dotnet ef database update
3. View the results in SSMS (the relevant tables will show up under Databases>System Databases>salon-ml>Tables)
   • There will be six tables created by ASP.NET Identity and one table created code-first by us (dbo.DynamicContents) - we will populate these tables in the next steps

Running the frontend

1. To start the Angular frontend make sure you are in the C:\Projects\Frizerski-Salon-ML\SalonML\SalonML directory in PowerShell or CMD
2. Run ng serve
3. When finished, navigate to localhost:4200 in a web browser

   • Observe the results in SSMS under the dbo.AspNetUsers table (right click the table and select Select Top 1000 Rows)
4. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/ in a browser and click Login at the bottom of the page
5. After logging in with the values that you set in secrets.json, click Seed Data at the bottom of the page
