Dot Net Api Rest Basic Template

Is a AspNet Core (API Rest) template to provide Best Practices and use several professional componentes and much more. Also everything you have to know how about it and how DotNet Templates work.

API project structure:

• Application
  • Models. Models, ViewModels and DTOs used by Controllers and Services.
  • Services. Application Logic.
• Controllers (Think controllers)
• Domain
  • Exceptions.
  • Interfaces.
• Infrastructure
  • ActionResults
  • EntityConfigurations. EF programatically configuration.
  • Filters. ASPNet Core Filteres.
  • Http. Client to invoque other API Rests.
  • Middlewares.
  • Providers.
  • Repositories. DB repositories to use EF easyly in an isolatted layer.

k8s folder Kubernetes and helm “.YAML” configuration to publish API to Kubernetes.

azure folder Azure resources scripts to register App in Azure Active Directory (AAD). other scripts, like ARM (Azure Resource Manager), could be added here.

Runnng the App

1. Using Kestrel from Visual Studio:

   cd ./content/src/ElGuerre.Items.Api
   dotnet run ...
   

2. Using Docker from Visual Studio or Docker Command Line:

   cd ./content
   docker build -t items-api .
   docker run items-api
   

3. Run Entity Framework Migration:

   cd ./content/src/ElGuerre.Items.Api
   dotnet ef migrations add Init --startup-project ..\src\ElGuerre.Items.Api.csproj
   dotnet ef database update --startup-project ..\src\ElGuerre.Items.Api.csproj
   

Generate and publish Template

Package a new template version

• Nuget.exe pack ElGuerre.ApiRest.Template.nuspec -Version 1.0.n

Nuget.org

dotnet nuget push AppLogger.1.0.0.nupkg -k xxx -s https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

Github (Packages)

Update Nuget.config

• Update %APPDATA%\NuGet\NuGet.config and delete properties “github”.
• Set or updated Nuget.config properties with the password already got in the previous steps
• nuget.exe sources Add -Name github -Source https://nuget.pkg.github.com/juanluelguerre/index.json -username ### USERNAME ### -password ### TOKEN ###

Note TOKEN will be generated as follow. More details here.

Publish a new template version

dotnet nuget push "ElGuerre.ApiRest.Template.1.0.0.nupkg" --source "github"

Publish a new template version

• dotnet nuget push --source github ElGuerre.ApiRest.Template.1.0.n.nupkg or
• nuget.exe push -Source github ElGuerre.ApiRest.Template.1.0.n.nupkg

Azure DevOps (Artifacts)

Generate a new token

• %USERPROFILE%.nuget\plugins\netfx\CredentialProvider.Microsoft\CredentialProvider.Microsoft.exe -U https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/JuanluElGuerre/elGuerre/_packaging/templates/nuget/v3/index.json

Update Nuget.config

• Update %APPDATA%\NuGet\NuGet.config and delete properties “templates”.
• Set or updated Nuget.config properties with the password already got in the previous steps
• nuget.exe sources Add -Name templates -Source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/JuanluElGuerre/elGuerre/_packaging/Templates/nuget/v3/index.json -username unused -password ### TOKEN ###

Publish a new template version

• nuget.exe push -source templates -ApiKey AzureDevOps ElGuerre.ApiRest.Template.1.0.n.nupkg

Install and uninstall templates

Clear cache: dotnet nuget locals http-cache --clear Add new templates dotnet new -i ElGuerre.ApiRest.Template::*

Note: List of templeates cached: dotnet nuget locals all --list Note: Remove cached of templatess Http and Temps: dotnet nuget locals http-cache --clear y dotnet nuget locals temp --clear

Azure DevOps Multi-stages

Attach AKS (Azure Kubernetes Services) to ACR (Azure Container Registry)

To authorize AKS to accesos ACR execute the sentence: az aks update -n elguerreaks -g elguerre --attach-acr elguerreacr.azurecr.io

Navigate to kubectl proxy using

az aks browse --resource-group elguerre --name elguerreaks

Create AKS namespaces ‘dev’, ‘int’ and ‘pro’ :

kubectl apply -f ./k8s/namespace-dev.json
kubectl apply -f ./k8s/namespace-int.json
kubectl apply -f ./k8s/namespace-pro.json

Note: Review azure-pipelines.yml for more detail.
