JsonApiDotNetCore Todo List Example

Demo application for JsonApiDotNetCore using Ember.js.

Back in 2017, Jared Nance did an excellent video series in which he built this demo:

Usage

Start the database

The app requires running postgres instance with credentials specified in appsettings.json. One way to do this is run the database in a Docker container:

docker run --name TodoListSampleDb \
    -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
    -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres \
    -e POSTGRES_DB=TodoList \
    -p 5432:5432 \
    -d postgres

Starting the API

  • Switch directory
    • cd TodoListAPI
  • Set the environment to development (mac)
    • export ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=development
  • Start the server
    • dotnet run

Starting the Client

  • Switch directory

    • cd TodoListClient
  • Install ember-cli

    • npm install -g ember-cli
  • Restore packages

    • npm install -g yarn
    • yarn install
  • Start the client

    • yarn start or
    • ember s
  • Open http://localhost:4200/ in your browser

In case you haven't watched the videos: the default username/password is guest/Guest1!.

Running Client Tests

  • ember test
  • ember test --server

Updating to the latest version of Ember

Usually the following commands are sufficient

  • npm install -g ember-cli-update
  • ember-cli-update
  • ember-cli-update --run-codemods
  • yarn install

Testing if everything still works

  • application starts and displays login link
  • login with invalid username/password shows popup
  • login with correct username/password shows single todo-item "owned-by-guest"
  • input validation: adding a todo-item with less than 4 characters is not possible
  • after adding a todo-item, you're taken back to the list, which includes the new item
  • clicking logout takes you back to the login page
  • navigating to http://localhost:4200/s/todo-items when logged out takes you to the login page
