ReleaseNotes Hub

This is a small web app designed to host release notes for all versions of many projects.

Stack

It's a .NET Core app, using API Controllers for the backend, with a React frontend.

MongoDB is used for persistence. Mongo 3.6+ is required since we use ArrayFilters.

The default docker-compose file runs a local containerised mongo instance for dev convenience. Docker is obviously required.

The app gets its mongo connection string from the config path ConnectionStrings:ReleaseNotesHub.

When running in a development environment (with the default docker-compose file providing mongo) this is, while insecure, already provided.

In production, you'll want to set this as an environment variable either in Dockerfile, a docker-compose override, some other infrastructure config, or simply directly on the host machine.

Your mongo instance credentials (MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME, MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD) will also want to be specified as environment variables, to override the dev compose ones.

The DatabaseName is configurable and as this is unlikely to be sensitive, can be changed in appsettings.json.

TODO

The api routes are just coming together, so they need finishing.

The frontend is unstarted.

There will be a Dockerfile and probably some compose file(s), since we will run this internally in a Docker environment.

Maybe Swagger for the API

Auth

Usage

writes are API only, not frontend, so grab your favourite HTTP client and:

  • POST /projects to create a project
  • PUT /projects/{id} to create a project with a specified id
  • PUT /projects/{id}/{release} to add release notes for a specified release of an existing project

reads are frontend based, though it hits the API to get viewmodel data.
