SoftwareManager

Sample N-tier project using WebApi2 + OData + EF 6 + Aurelia with Visual Studio

This project is still work in progress. The goal is to create a sample which per example goes furhter than just creating a basic OData WebApi which do not use DbContext directly. Feel free to report issues and suggest improvements.

#Overview The sample currently provides the following features

• OData API using WebApi 2

• Entity Framework 6.1.3
• does communicate with its own models (using AutoMapper, Projection and extraction of navigation properties from the query options)
• Batchsupport
• Modelvalidation using FluentValidation

• Single Page Application

• built with Aurelia 1.0.0-rc.1.0.1
• Typescript
• Bootstrap

#Setup the database

1. To create the initial database you can use the SoftwareManager.DbMigrations
2. You have to create a database somewhere (configured is (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB with Inital Catalog "SoftwareManager" in the App.config)
3. Build the project
4. Call migrate_up.bat in the output folder

#Running the app To run the app locally, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that NodeJS is installed.
2. Ensure ASP.NET Core is installed.
3. Restore required Nuget packages
4. In the SoftwareManager.SPA project folder, exeucte the following commands:

```shell
npm install
```

5. Ensure that jspm is installed. If you need to install it, use the following command:

```shell
npm install -g jspm
```

6. Install the SoftwareManager.SPA dependencies with jspm:

```shell

jspm install
```

7. If you have changed the database connection you have to adjust this within the ApplicationSettingService class (Common Project)
