ASP.NET Core and Vue.js

Overview of this book

Vue.js 3 is faster and smaller than the previous version, and TypeScript’s full support out of the box makes it a more maintainable and easier-to-use version of Vue.js. Then, there's ASP.NET Core 5, which is the fastest .NET web framework today. Together, Vue.js for the frontend and ASP.NET Core 5 for the backend make a powerful combination. This book follows a hands-on approach to implementing practical methodologies for building robust applications using ASP.NET Core 5 and Vue.js 3. The topics here are not deep dive and the book is intended for busy .NET developers who have limited time and want a quick implementation of a clean architecture with popular libraries. You’ll start by setting up your web app’s backend, guided by clean architecture, command query responsibility segregation (CQRS), mediator pattern, and Entity Framework Core 5. The book then shows you how to build the frontend application using best practices, state management with Vuex, Vuetify UI component libraries, Vuelidate for input validations, lazy loading with Vue Router, and JWT authentication. Later, you’ll focus on testing and deployment. All the tutorials in this book support Windows 10, macOS, and Linux users. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build an enterprise full-stack web app, use the most common npm packages for Vue.js and NuGet packages for ASP.NET Core, and deploy Vue.js and ASP.NET Core to Azure App Service using GitHub Actions.

Enabling a CORS policy in ASP.NET Core

Our goal in this section is to use an interface with CORS policy and configure it to allow any SPAs to send requests to our ASP.NET Core Web APIs.

So let's go to the Startup.cs file of the Travel.WebApi project and update the ConfigureServices method by adding the following code under the AddSpaStaticFiles method:

services.AddCors();

The services.AddCors method will be the last method we are calling inside ConfigureServices. This service is an extension method for setting up CORS services.

We are not yet done here; we still need to update our middleware. So, go to the Configure method and add the following code under app.UseSpaStaticFiles:

app.UseCors(b =>
  {
      b.AllowAnyOrigin();
      b.AllowAnyHeader();
      b.AllowAnyMethod();
 });

The UseCors method adds a CORS middleware to our web application's pipeline...
