Overview of this book

This book will walk you through the process of developing an e-commerce application from start to finish, utilizing an ASP.NET Core web API and Vue.js Single-Page Application (SPA) frontend. We will build the application using a featureslice approach, whereby in each chapter we will add the required frontend and backend changes to complete an entire feature. In the early chapters, we’ll keep things fairly simple to get you started, but by the end of the book, you’ll be utilizing some advanced concepts, such as server-side rendering and continuous integration and deployment. You will learn how to set up and configure a modern development environment for building ASP.NET Core web APIs and Vue.js SPA frontends.You will also learn about how ASP.NET Core differs from its predecessors, and how we can utilize those changes to our benefit. Finally, you will learn the fundamentals of building modern frontend applications using Vue.js, as well as some of the more advanced concepts, which can help make you more productive in your own applications in the future.

Summary

In this chapter, we've created a much more robust deployment mechanism by building a CI/CD pipeline in VSTS. We started by disabling our original Git deployment mechanism in Azure itself, before creating a VSTS build to replace it. We saw that we have much more control over how our application is published if we need it, but also how simple it is to create a build if your requirements are fairly simple, like ours are.

We then enabled CI so that every push to the master Git branch of our source control repository triggers a new build in VSTS. Next, we created a release definition to connect to our Azure subscription and push the build artifact to our production environment app service.

We saw how easy it is to integrate VSTS releases with Azure app services, due to the built-in tasks that Microsoft provide. Finally, we optionally enabled CD so that every time a new...
