Technical requirements
These are the software packages (and relevant version numbers) used to write this book and test the source code:
- Visual Studio 2019 Community edition 16.8.2 with the optional ASP.NET and web development workload (it can be selected from the Workloads section within the Visual Studio installer app)
- Microsoft .NET 5 SDK 5.0.100
- TypeScript 4.0.5
- NuGet package manager 5.7.0
- Node.js 14.15.0 (we strongly suggest installing it using Node Version Manager, also known as nvm)
- Angular 11.0.1
If you're on Windows, we strongly suggest installing Node.js using nvm
for Windows – a neat Node.js version manager for the Windows system. You can download it from the following URL: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases
We strongly suggest using the same version used within this book – or newer, but at your own risk! Jokes aside, if you prefer to use a different version, that's perfectly fine, as long as you are aware that, in that case, you may need to make some manual changes and adjustments to the source code.
