Pre-requisites

1. .Net core sdk
2. Either VSCode with C# extension OR Visual studio 2017
3. Nodejs

Make sure you have Node version >= 6.9.x and NPM >= 3

Installation

1. Clone the repo
    git clone https://github.com/asadsahi/AspNetCoreSpa
2. Change directory to our repo
    cd AspNetCoreSpa
3. dotnet restore
4. Install global dependencies
    npm install protractor rimraf http-server @angular/cli -g
5. npm install
6. Run the app (Development mode):
    * If you are running the project for first time:
      dotnet run migratedb seeddb (this will create database, apply migrations and seed the data)
    Subsequently
    i) One way (from VScode or Visual studio IDE):
        F5 (This will automatically launch browser)
    ii) Another way (from command line)
        set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
        `dotnet run` (for single run) OR `dotnet watch run` (in watch mode)
        Browse using http://localhost:5000 or https://localhost:5001 
7. Run the app (Production mode):
    npm run build:prod
    set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production
    `dotnet run` (for single run) OR `dotnet watch run` (in watch mode)
    Browse using http://localhost:5000 (Note: https://localhost:5001 will not work for production as private SSL certificate only added as Dev middleware)
8. Notes on setting up database
    * This project supports both sql server and sql lite databases
    * Currently this project is configured to run under sqllite to speedup development cycle and the migrations added in this project are W.R.T sql lite
    * To run under sql server:
        * delete bin & Migrations folders
        * Flip the switch in appsettings.json called `useSqLite` to `false`, this should point to use local sql server setup   as default instance.
        * Run `dotnet ef migrations add "MigrationName"`
        
    * CAUTION: If you want to drop database while in development, you can run command `dotnet run dropdb`

Compodoc Angular documentation

• Steps to generate:
  • npm i compodoc -g
  • npm run compodoc
  • cd documentation
  • http-server

Compodoc documentation:

### run end-to-end tests
```bash
# make sure you have your server running in another terminal (i.e run "dotnet run" command)
npm run e2e

run webdriver (for end-to-end)

npm run webdriver:update
npm run webdriver:start

run Protractor's elementExplorer (for end-to-end)

npm run webdriver:start
# in another terminal
npm run e2e:live

AOT - Ahead of time compilation DON'TS

The following are some things that will make AOT compile fail.

• Don’t use require statements for your templates or styles, use styleUrls and templateUrls, the angular2-template-loader plugin will change it to require at build time.
• Don’t use default exports.
• Don’t use form.controls.controlName, use form.get(‘controlName’)
• Don’t use control.errors?.someError, use control.hasError(‘someError’)
• Don’t use functions in your providers, routes or declarations, export a function and then reference that function name
• Inputs, Outputs, View or Content Child(ren), Hostbindings, and any field you use from the template or annotate for Angular should be public

How to run in docker on windows: more info
