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.
• Microsoft ASP.NET Core JavaScript Services

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

Angular General functionality:

• Authenticate users via JWT (login/signup pages + logout button on settings page)
• CRU* users (sign up & settings page - no deleting required)
• CRUD Articles
• CR*D Comments on articles (no updating required)
• GET and display paginated lists of articles
• Favorite articles
• Follow other users

The general page breakdown looks like this:

• Home page (URL: /#/ )
  • List of tags
  • List of articles pulled from either Feed, Global, or by Tag
  • Pagination for list of articles
• Sign in/Sign up pages (URL: /#/login, /#/register )
  • Uses JWT (store the token in localStorage)
  • Authentication can be easily switched to session/cookie based
• Settings page (URL: /#/settings )
• Editor page to create/edit articles (URL: /#/editor, /#/editor/article-slug-here )
• Article page (URL: /#/article/article-slug-here )
  • Delete article button (only shown to article's author)
  • Render markdown from server client side
  • Comments section at bottom of page
  • Delete comment button (only shown to comment's author)
• Profile page (URL: /#/profile/:username, /#/profile/:username/favorites )
  • Show basic user info
  • List of articles populated from author's created articles or author's favorites articles
