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.

Server-side role-based authorization

Remembering that we can't trust client-side authorization checks alone, the final change we need to make to prevent admin users placing orders is to protect the API endpoint that stores the order and processes the payment information. Open up the Features/Orders/Controller.cs file and amend it as follows:

[HttpPost, Authorize(Roles = "Customer")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Create([FromBody] CreateOrderViewModel model)
{
//...method body omitted for brevity
}

That's all there is to it. In this instance, we only allow the single Customer role to place orders, but if we had multiple roles, then we could pass a comma-separated list of roles here instead.
