ASP.NET Core 3 and React

By: Carl Rippon

Overview of this book

Microsoft's ASP.NET Core is a robust and high-performing cross-platform web API framework, and Facebook's React uses declarative JavaScript to drive a rich, interactive user experience on the client-side web. Together, they can be used to build full stack apps with enhanced security and scalability at each layer. This book will start by taking you through React and TypeScript components to build an intuitive single-page application. You’ll understand how to design scalable REST APIs that can integrate with a React-based frontend. You’ll get to grips with the latest features, popular patterns, and tools available in the React ecosystem, including function-based components, React Router, and Redux. The book shows how you can use TypeScript along with React to make the frontend robust and maintainable. You’ll then cover important .NET Core features such as API controllers, attribute routing, and model binding to help you build a sturdy backend. Additionally, you’ll explore API security with ASP.NET Core identity and authorization policies, and write reliable unit tests using both .NET Core and React before you deploy your app to the Azure cloud. By the end of the book, you’ll have gained all the knowledge you need to enhance your C# and JavaScript skills and build full stack, production-ready applications with ASP.NET Core and React.

Questions

Answer the following questions to test the knowledge we have gained in this chapter:

  1. What Dapper method can be used to execute a stored procedure that returns no results?
  2. What Dapper method can be used to read a single record of data where the record is guaranteed to exist?
  3. What Dapper method can be used to read a collection of records?
  4. What is wrong with the following statement that calls the Dapper Query method?
return connection.Query<BuildingGetManyResponse>(
@"EXEC dbo.Building_GetMany_BySearch
@Search = @Search",
new { Criteria = "Fred"}
);
  1. We have the following stored procedure:
CREATE PROC dbo.Building_GetMany 
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON

SELECT BuildingId, Name
FROM dbo.Building
END

We have the following statement that calls the Dapper Query method:

return connection.Query<BuildingGetManyResponse>(
"EXEC dbo.Building_GetMany...
