Running The Application

1. Ensure that the appsettings.json file contains a valid ConnectionStrings section.

You will need two connection strings:

• onionDataConnection

This is the database which will contain all of the Book and Series information

• onionAuthConnection

This is the database which will contain all of the ASP.NET MVC Core auth information.

Example ConnectionStrings section:

"ConnectionStrings": {
  "onionDataConnection": "DataSource=onionData.db",
  "onionAuthConnection": "DataSource=onionAuth.db"
},

2. Open a command prompt in the Onion.Web directory

Issue the following commands to set up the databases:

dotnet restore

Check for migrations in the Onion.Repo.Identity directory. If there isn't a directory labelled Migrations, then run the following (from the Onion.Web) directory to generate them:

dotnet ef migrations add CreateIdentitySchema -c AppIdentityDbContext -p ../Onion.Repo/Onion.Repo.csproj -s Onion.Web.csproj

Similarly, check for migrations in the Onion.Repo.Data directory. If there isn't a directory labelled Migrations, then run the following (from the Onion.Web) directory to generate them:

dotnet ef migrations add InitialMigration -c DataContext -p ../Onion.Repo/Onion.Repo.csproj -s Onion.Web.csproj

Apply all migrations to the databases by running the following commands (from the Onion.Web directory):

dotnet ef database update -c DataContext -p ../Onion.Repo/Onion.Repo.csproj -s Onion.Web.csproj
dotnet ef database update -c AppIdentityDbContext -p ../Onion.Repo/Onion.Repo.csproj -s Onion.Web.csproj

3. Build the front end

Issue the following commands from the Onion.Web directory:

npm i
npm run build

4. Run the application and seed the database

Issue the following command from the Onion.Web directory:

dotnet run
