Users management practice on .Net Core, using WebAPI and ASP.NET MVC Core

To develop and run ASP.NET Core applications locally, download and install the following:

• .NET Core SDK - includes the .NET Core runtime and command line tools
• Visual Studio Code - code editor that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux
• C# extension for Visual Studio Code - adds support to VS Code for developing .NET Core applications

• Download or clone the tutorial project code from https://github.com/fennnan/SHUsersManagement.git

1. Open a shell command windows in the Project root folder
2. Change folder to the Rest Api Server project root folder (where the RestServer.csproj file is located)
   • cd RestServer
3. Start the api by running dotnet run from the command line. You should see the message Now listening on: http://localhost:5000. You can test the api directly using an application such as Postman or you can test it with one of the single page applications below.

1. Open a shell command windows in the Project root folder
2. Change folder to the Mvc UI application project root folder (where the MvcUI.csproj file is located)
   • cd MvcUI
3. Start the api by running dotnet run from the command line in the project root folder (where the WebApi.csproj file is located), you should see the message Now listening on: http://localhost:6000
4. You can test the app by opening writting http://localhost:6000 on the direction tool bar.

I have used XUnit for writting the Unit Test and Mock as a mocking framework. Because this project is intended as a proof of concept there is only Unit Test for the Rest API Server project.

1. Open a shell command windows in the Project root folder
2. Change folder to the Rest Api Server Unit Test project root folder (where the RestServer.Test.csproj file is located)
   • cd RestServer.Test
3. Start the api by running dotnet test from the command line. After few second it will show the results of the tests

1. Have up and running both projects, Rest API Server and Mvc UI app
2. Log in in the Mvc UI with one of these users:
   • Admin/admin1 - Rol ADMIN
   • User1/user1 - Rol PAGE_1
   • User2/user2 - Rol PAGE_2
   • User3/user3 - Rol PAGE_3
3. Navigate through the differents pages

I didn't want to extend the project for a long time, so I decide to not implement some litle (or not so litle), details of the project.

• Add HTTPS support. The Basic Authentication is sended as a plain text and it shouldn't be in a not encripted web
• Add Unit Test for the Mvc UI app
• Add more tests for the Rest API Server
