This is a modified copy of https://github.com/jasontaylordev/CleanArchitecture solution template for creating a Single Page App (SPA) with Angular and ASP.NET Core following the principles of Clean Architecture. Create a new project based on this template by clicking the above Use this template button.
- ASP.NET Core 5
- Entity Framework Core 5
- ASP.NET Core Identity
- SQLite
- Angular 11
- ngX Starter Kit for Angular
- MediatR
- AutoMapper
- FluentValidation
- NUnit, FluentAssertions, Moq & Respawn
- Bootstrap
- Docker
- Install the latest .NET 5 SDK
- Install the latest Node.js LTS
- Run
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef
- Clone this project and
cd
to its root directory - Navigate to
src/WebUI/ClientApp
and runnpm install
- Navigate to
src/WebUI/ClientApp
and runnpm start
to launch the front end (Angular) - Navigate to
src/WebUI
and rundotnet run
to launch the back end (ASP.NET Core Web API)
In order to get Docker working, you will need to add a temporary SSL cert and mount a volume to hold that cert. You can find Microsoft Docs that describe the steps required for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
For Windows:
The following will need to be executed from your terminal to create a cert in PowerShell
dotnet dev-certs https -ep $env:USERPROFILE\.aspnet\https\clw_aspnetapp.pfx -p Your_password123
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
NOTE: When using CMD/batch, replace $env:USERPROFILE
with %USERPROFILE%
FOR macOS:
dotnet dev-certs https -ep ${HOME}/.aspnet/https/clw_aspnetapp.pfx -p Your_password123
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
FOR Linux:
dotnet dev-certs https -ep ${HOME}/.aspnet/https/clw_aspnetapp.pfx -p Your_password123
In order to build and run the docker containers, execute docker-compose -f 'docker-compose.yml' up -d --build
from the root of the solution where you find the docker-compose.yml file. You can also use "Docker Compose" from Visual Studio for Debugging purposes.
Then open http://localhost:5000 on your browser.
Default database engine is set as SQLite, but it can be easily switched to SQL Server or InMemory
The template is configured to use a SQLite database by default. This ensures that all users will be able to run the solution without needing to set up additional infrastructure (e.g. SQL Server).
When you run the application the database will be automatically created (if necessary) and the latest migrations will be applied.
tests\Application.IntegrationTests\
does not work with SQLite database
If you would like to use in-memory database, you will need to update WebUI/appsettings.json
as follows:
"UseInMemoryDatabase": true
If you would like to use SQL Server you need to do following steps:
-
In
src/Infrastructure/DependencyInjection.cs
replaceoptions.UseSqlite
withoptions.UseSqlServer
-
Update
WebUI/appsettings.json
as follows:
"UseInMemoryDatabase": false,
- Verify that the
DefaultConnection
connection string withinWebUI/appsettings.json
tests\Application.IntegrationTests\appsettings.json
points to a valid SQL Server instance.
"ConnectionStrings": {
"DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=CleanArchWebDb;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true;"
}
-
Remove
Migrations
folder:src/Infrastructure/Persistence/Migrations/
-
Execute the following command from the repository root:
dotnet ef migrations add "InitialCreate" --project src\Infrastructure --startup-project src\WebUI --output-dir Persistence\Migrations
- Update
docker-compose
- uncommentdb
section:
docker-compose.yml
db:
image: "mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server"
environment:
- "SA_PASSWORD=Your_password123"
- "ACCEPT_EULA=Y"
docker-compose.override.yml
db:
ports:
- "1433:1433"
To use dotnet-ef
for your migrations please add the following flags to your command (values assume you are executing from repository root)
--project src/Infrastructure
(optional if in this folder)--startup-project src/WebUI
--output-dir Persistence/Migrations
For example, to add a new migration from the root folder:
dotnet ef migrations add "SampleMigration" --project src\Infrastructure --startup-project src\WebUI --output-dir Persistence\Migrations
This will contain all entities, enums, exceptions, interfaces, types and logic specific to the domain layer.
This layer contains all application logic. It is dependent on the domain layer, but has no dependencies on any other layer or project. This layer defines interfaces that are implemented by outside layers. For example, if the application need to access a notification service, a new interface would be added to application and an implementation would be created within infrastructure.
This layer contains classes for accessing external resources such as file systems, web services, smtp, and so on. These classes should be based on interfaces defined within the application layer.
This layer is a single page application based on Angular 10 and ASP.NET Core 5. This layer depends on both the Application and Infrastructure layers, however, the dependency on Infrastructure is only to support dependency injection. Therefore only Startup.cs should reference Infrastructure.
Major modification compared with original CleanArchitecture
- SQLite as default database instead of InMemory or SQL Server
- Updated to Angular 11
- Used ngX Starter Kit for Angular as
WebUI\ClientApp
template - VSCode settings
- recommended
extensions.json
launch.json
for debug and tests
- recommended
- Extracted all ASP.NET Core Identity views to have full control over it
- Changed layout to match this from ngX Starter Kit
- Added
libman.json
- Shared styles
WebUI\ClientApp\src\shared.scss
->WebUI\wwwroot\css\site.shared.css
