ASP.NET Core 5 and Angular - Fourth Edition

By: Valerio De Sanctis

Overview of this book

Learning full-stack development calls for knowledge of both front-end and back-end web development. ASP.NET Core 5 and Angular, Fourth Edition will enhance your ability to create, debug, and deploy efficient web applications using ASP.NET Core and Angular. This revised edition includes coverage of the Angular routing module, expanded discussion on the Angular CLI, and detailed instructions for deploying apps on Azure, as well as both Windows and Linux. Taking care to explain and challenge design choices made throughout the text, Valerio teaches you how to build a data model with Entity Framework Core, alongside utilizing the Entity Core Fluent API and EntityTypeConfiguration class. You’ll learn how to fetch and display data and handle user input with Angular reactive forms and front-end and back-end validators for maximum effect. Later, you will perform advanced debugging and explore the unit testing features provided by xUnit.net (.NET 5) and Jasmine, as well as Karma for Angular. After adding authentication and authorization to your apps, you will explore progressive web applications (PWAs), learning about their technical requirements, testing, and converting SWAs to PWAs. By the end of this book, you will understand how to tie together the front end and back end to build and deploy secure and robust web applications.

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.
