mega-webstore

development

• final solution is using postgresql as database, make sure appsettings.json is configured correctly
• if you have no postgresql installed, you can use docker to run a postgresql container:
  • docker run --name ecommerce-postgres-db -e POSTGRES_USER=appuser -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:latest
  • appsettings.Development.json has to have this connection string: Server=localhost;Port=5432;User Id=appuser;Password=secret;Database=store
  • when the server is running in docker check Server value in the connection string to host.docker.internal, final value should be: Server=host.docker.internal;Port=5432;User Id=appuser;Password=secret;Database=store

docker

• Docker file is included in the project, API directory, navigate there and run:
  • docker build -t <username>/megastore .
• If building the image on new Mac M1, you might need to build the image with the following command:
  • docker build --no-cache --platform linux/amd64 -t <username>/megastore .
• To run the container:
  • docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 <username>/megastore

setting up the solution with dotnet cli

• create sln with dotnet cli command: dotnet new sln
• create webapi package: dotnet new webapi -o API
• add API to the solution: dotnet sln add API
