ASP.NET Core 6 and Angular - Fifth Edition

By: Valerio De Sanctis

Overview of this book

Every full-stack ninja needs the tools to operate on front-end and back-end application development. This web app development book takes a hands-on, project-based approach to provide you with all the tools and techniques that web developers need to create, debug, and deploy efficient web applications using ASP.NET Core and Angular. The fifth edition has been updated to cover advanced topics such as Minimal APIs, Web APIs with GraphQL, real-time updates with SignalR, and new features in .NET 6 and Angular 13. You begin by building 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 6) and Jasmine, as well as Karma for Angular. After adding authentication and authorization to your apps, you will explore progressive web applications, learning about their technical requirements, testing processes, and how to convert a standard web application to a PWA. By the end of this web development book, you will understand how to tie together the front-end and back-end to build and deploy secure and robust web applications.

Azure App Service deployment

Throughout this section, we’ll learn how to deploy our HealthCheck and HealthCheckAPI web applications on MS Azure App Service, a fully managed platform for building, deploying, and scaling web apps.

As we’ll be able to see, this deployment is considerably easier and faster than the previous ones, because we won’t need to deploy a virtual machine; App Service’s fully managed approach grants a deployment experience similar to the one we experienced back in Chapter 5, Data Model with Entity Framework Core, when we created an MS Azure database: we’ll just get what we need to publish our app, without the need to perform any hardware and/or software setup.

This approach can be a tremendous advantage for most projects, as long as we don’t need to perform complex low-level infrastructure configuration tasks.

Here’s what we’ll do in detail:

  • Create two Web App instances on MS Azure...
