This repository contains a demo using Microsoft's Azure CosmosDB to build a simple ASPNET Core API for updating and creating user profiles.

You need to install the following on your computer:

• Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio 2017
• .NET Core >= 2 (this packaged with Visual Studio 2017)
• DocumentDB Emulator

If you environment is set up correctly you should be able to run the following command on the command line and get the output:

dotnet --version
# 2.0.0

NOTE: You need to start the CosmosDB emulator before running the API

To run the server in a few ways:

• Open the folder in Visual Studio Code and press F5

• Open the solution in Visual Studio and press F5

• Open the root folder on the command line and run the following:

  cd server
  dotnet run

  NOTE: you will also need to set the environment variable ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT to Development if you want to run the server from the command line.

You can deploy this directly to azure

NOTE: This will create a App Service Plan and a CosmosDB account
