We welcome PRs small and large to any .NET open source project on GitHub.
This project is intended to be used as a PR Tracker to help with Hacktoberfest.
Be sure to check the wiki for more information too!
This project currently uses Table storage for persisting data. To allow for development of this application we are using Cosmos DB Emulator with Table storage API.
.NET Core is open source and cross platform.
Come hang out in the Doscord and we'll help you!
For this project we are using the Table Storage Emulation which is not enabled by default. To enable this, run the Cosmos Emulator with the
command line switch /EnableTableEndpoint e.g.: {{InstallLocation}}\Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Emulator.exe /EnableTableEndpoint
Once the emulator is up and running the only thing left to do is to set the connection string and table name in the application. You can use appsettings.json or user secrets.
The connection string should be as follows (the account key shown here is the default installed by the emulator):
DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=localhost;AccountKey=C2y6yDjf5/R+ob0N8A7Cgv30VRDJIWEHLM+4QDU5DE2nQ9nDuVTqobD4b8mGGyPMbIZnqyMsEcaGQy67XIw/Jw==;TableEndpoint=http://localhost:8902/;
The table name doesn't matter as it can be unique to your installation. We suggest you use: HacktoberfestProject.
This will make life easier if we need to help you debug an issue.
- Visit https://github.com/settings/applications/new
- Set Application Name to HacktoberfestProject
- Homepage URL should be http://localhost:50085 (by default)
- Authorization Callback Url should be http://localhost:50085/github-oauth
This will provide you with the client id and secret needed for the secrets configuration below.
This application uses the dotnet user-secrets tool documented here
The following secrets will need setup from within the HacktoberfestProject.Web directory where the .csproj file exists. Run the following commands:
dotnet user-secrets set "CosmosTableStorage:ConnectionString" "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=localhost;AccountKey=C2y6yDjf5/R+ob0N8A7Cgv30VRDJIWEHLM+4QDU5DE2nQ9nDuVTqobD4b8mGGyPMbIZnqyMsEcaGQy67XIw/Jw==;TableEndpoint=http://localhost:8902/;"
dotnet user-secrets set "CosmosTableStorage:TableName" "HacktoberfestProject"
dotnet user-secrets set "GitHub:ClientId" "<replace with your clientid>"
dotnet user-secrets set "GitHub:ClientSecret" "<replace with your client secret>"
