This repository contains an example of "nearly empty" .NET Core 3.1 application structured following the Cross Architecture approach; in particular:
- each Logical Area is implemented by a single .NET Core project;
- each Unit Composition Ring and Integration Composition Ring is implemented by a single .NET Core project;
- the Application Host is implemented by a single ASP.NET Core (web API) project;
- the projects contain a set of very simple classes, whose only aim is to show the relation (injections and execution flow) between Logical Areas.
The Cross Architecture is a flexible approach for designing the architecture of a SW over the actual application needs, while respecting a set of basic constraints providing good decoupling, testability and logical organization of code.
More information about the Cross Architecture approach can be found here.
To start the application simply open the solution in Visual Studio 2019 and hit F5 ("Start Debugging") or CTRL+F5 ("Start Without Debugging"): a web browser will open showing the JSON result of a test web API action.
Also, you can start the application by running the following command from the solution folder:
dotnet run --project CrossArchitecture.ApplicationHost
Then, browsing to https://localhost:5001 you will be redirected to the test web API action.
Remarks: the test web API action triggers a call traversing all the SW blocks of the application and creating the temporary file indicated in the returned JSON data; this is in order to show a complete execution flow across the various SW blocks, also producing a side effect into an external system (in this case the file system).
