Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The previous code fails this rule, as running UnitTest2 before UnitTest1 will fail the test.”

A block of code is set as follows:

public class SampleTests 
{
    private static int _staticField = 0;
    [Fact]
    public void UnitTest1()
    {
        _staticField += 1;
        Assert.Equal(1, _staticField);
    }
    [Fact]
    public void UnitTest2()
    {
        _staticField += 5;
        Assert.Equal(6, _staticField);
    }
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

public class SampleTests 
{
    private static int _staticField = 0;
    [Fact]
    public void UnitTest1()
    {
        _staticField += 1;
        Assert.Equal(1, _staticField);
    }
    [Fact]
    public void UnitTest2()
    {
        _staticField += 5;
        Assert.Equal(6, _staticField);
    }
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

GET https://webapidomain/services

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “After installing the local emulator, you need to grab the connection string, which you can do by browsing to https://localhost:8081/_explorer/index.html and copying the connection string from the Primary Connection String field.”
