This project provides a How To Become app for use in the Job Profiles app, which is a part of the Composite UI (Shell application) to dynamically output markup from How To Become data sources.
Details of the Job Profiles application may be found here https://github.com/SkillsFundingAgency/dfc-app-jobprofiles

This How To Become app runs in two flavours:
- How To Become segments
This is a self-contained Visual Studio 2019 solution containing a number of projects (web application, service and repository layers, with associated unit test and integration test projects).
Clone the project and open the solution in Visual Studio 2019.
| Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Azure Cosmos DB | Document storage |
Once you have cloned the public repo you need to rename the appsettings files by removing the -template part from the configuration file names listed below.
| Location | Repo Filename | Rename to |
|---|---|---|
| DFC.App.HowToBecome.IntegrationTests | appsettings-template.json | appsettings.json |
| DFC.App.HowToBecome | appsettings-template.json | appsettings.json |
The project contains a number of "appsettings-template.json" files which contain sample appsettings for the web app and the integration test projects. To use these files, rename them to "appsettings.json" and edit and replace the configuration item values with values suitable for your environment.
By default, the appsettings include a local Azure Cosmos Emulator configuration using the well known configuration values. These may be changed to suit your environment if you are not using the Azure Cosmos Emulator.
| File | Setting | Example value |

To run this product locally, you will need to configure the list of dependencies. Once configured and the configuration files updated, it should be F5 to run and debug locally. The application can be run using IIS Express or full IIS.
To run the project, start the web application. Once running, browse to the main entrypoint which is the "https://localhost:44340/segments". This will list all of the How To Become segments available and from here, you can navigate to the individual How To Become segments.
The How To Become app is designed to be run from within the Job Profiles app, which in turn is run from within the Composite UI, therefore running the How To Become app outside of the other apps will only show simple views of the data.
This How To Become app will be deployed as an individual deployment for consumption by the Composite UI.
