Overview of this book

This book will walk you through the process of developing an e-commerce application from start to finish, utilizing an ASP.NET Core web API and Vue.js Single-Page Application (SPA) frontend. We will build the application using a featureslice approach, whereby in each chapter we will add the required frontend and backend changes to complete an entire feature. In the early chapters, we’ll keep things fairly simple to get you started, but by the end of the book, you’ll be utilizing some advanced concepts, such as server-side rendering and continuous integration and deployment. You will learn how to set up and configure a modern development environment for building ASP.NET Core web APIs and Vue.js SPA frontends.You will also learn about how ASP.NET Core differs from its predecessors, and how we can utilize those changes to our benefit. Finally, you will learn the fundamentals of building modern frontend applications using Vue.js, as well as some of the more advanced concepts, which can help make you more productive in your own applications in the future.

Before we wrap up this chapter, let's quickly test that everything is configured correctly. A feature we'll most likely need later on is a users feature, so let's create a Features/Users/UsersController.cs file, and fill it in with the following contents:

namespace ECommerce.Features.Users
{
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class UsersController : Controller
{
private readonly EcommerceContext _db;

public UsersController(EcommerceContext db)
{
_db = db;
}

[HttpGet]
public async Task<IActionResult> Get()
{
return Ok(await _db.Users.ToListAsync());
}
}
}

This is all we need to test the completed setup, so run the application again now and navigate to http://localhost:5000/api/users in your web browser. You should be presented with a...
