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.

Linux deployment

Throughout this section, we'll learn how to deploy our WorldCities web application on a Linux CentOS 8 server hosted on MS Azure.

More precisely, here's what we're going to do:

  • Create a new VM on MS Azure using the CentOS-based 8.2 template
  • Configure the VM to accept inbound calls to TCP ports 22 (for SSH), 80 (for HTTP), and 443 (for HTTPS)
  • Adapt the WorldCities app for the Nginx + Kestrel edge-origin hosting model
  • Publish the WorldCities app to the web server we've just set up
  • Test the WorldCities app from a remote client

Let's get to work!

It's worth noting that the CentOS-based template that we're going to use in this deployment sample can be easily replaced – with minor variations – with any other Linux VM template available on MS Azure: as a matter of fact, the ASP.NET Core Linux runtime works well with most Debian-based and RPM-based Linux distributions...
