Dot Net Core for the win

Example project that Uses latest DotNet Core , Web API, Dapper and Swagger and Build API Docker container

• use DotNet Core to demonstrate that we can build Web API
• added XUnit test project to show that it can be unit tested
• added Swagger - API shall help developers and expose documentation
• added Dapper and Postrges support - to proove that other Databases can be used - not only SQL Server
• Added Docker file - that can Build and Run this Web Api as Linux Container

Hooray! Now we can run .Net WebAPI inside a Linux and we do not need to pay MS for Operation system or SQL Server!

How the hell shall I build it locally?

navigate to ./rocket folder.

• run dotnet restore
• run dotnet build
• run dotnet run

to execut unit tests: navigate to ./rocket-tests folder.

• run dotnet restore
• run dotnet build
• run dotnet test

And how can I run it inside the Docker?

1. Navigate to ./rocket folder.
2. run docker build -t mission_core . this will build docker image. you can see it if you run docker images command later. this image can be uploaded to the DockerHub or ECR and used in production.
3. run docker run -p 5000:5000 mission_core . this will start docker image and will connect port 5000.

You can hit API after that either going to: localhost:5000/api/Values.

Windows 7 or Docker-Machine users

if you are using Win7 and running inside Docker-Machine you need to find you docker machine IP address docker-machine ip. Then hit {that ip}:5000/api/Values
