OnlineStore API application used to better understand the Clean Architecture and coding best practices. The architecture and design of the project is explained in the video:

• Clean Architecture with ASP.NET Core 2.1 (slide deck)

The initial construction of this project is explained in the following blog posts:

• Code: Northwind Traders with Entity Framework Core
• Create Northwind Traders Code First with Entity Framework Core – Part 1
• Create Northwind Traders Code First with Entity Framework Core – Part 2

Use these instructions to get the project up and running.

If you plan on using .NET Core 3.0 or later you need to recreate the architecture and you will need the following tools:

• Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio 2019 (version 16.3 or later)
• .NET Core SDK 3
• Node.js (version 10 or later) with npm (version 6.11.3 or later)

If you plan on using the existing architecture you just need

• Visual Studio 2017
• .NET Core SDK 2

Follow these steps to get your development environment set up:

1. Clone the repository
2. At the root directory, restore required packages by running:

   dotnet restore
   

3. Next, build the solution by running:

   dotnet build
   

4. Next, within the PackageManager 1. Select default prject as Persistence 2. Execute Update-Database

Because we use EF Core when we want to add an update to the database: 1. Go to PackageManager 2. Select default prject as Persistence 3. Add-Migration [MigrationName] 3.1 Remove-Migration - to remove the latest migration added 4. Update-Database
