Alternatively you can also clone the Repository.

  1. Clone this Repository and Extract it to a Folder.
  2. Change the Connection Strings for the Application and Identity in the WebApi/appsettings.json - (WebApi Project)
  3. Run the following commands on Powershell in the WebApi Projecct's Directory.
  • dotnet restore
  • dotnet ef database update -Context ApplicationDbContext
  • dotnet ef database update -Context IdentityContext

How to use MySQL as your Data Provider

The Project currently uses MSSQL as the default Data Provider. If you are more comfortable with MySQL, Here is how to migrate to MySQL easily.

  1. delete all existing file inside migrations folder on both project

    • {YourProjectName}.Infrastructure.Identity
    • {YourProjectName}.Infrastructure.Persistence
  2. change from options.UseSqlServer to options.UseMySql in ServiceExtensions.cs and ServiceRegistration.cs

  3. run dotnet add package Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql --version 3.1.2 on two project/subproject

  4. on IdentityContext.cs comment builder.HasDefaultSchema("Identity"); because ef doesn't support that on mysql

  5. cd to {YourProjectName}.Infrastructure.Identity and run

    • dotnet ef database update --startup-project ../{YourProjectName}.WebApi/{YourProjectName}.WebApi.csproj -c "IdentityContext"
    • dotnet ef migrations add Initial --startup-project ../{YourProjectName}.WebApi/{YourProjectName}.WebApi.csproj -c "IdentityContext"
  6. cd to {YourProjectName}.Infrastructure.Persistence and run

    • dotnet ef database update --startup-project ../{YourProjectName}.WebApi/{YourProjectName}.WebApi.csproj -c "ApplicationDbContext"
    • dotnet ef migrations add Initial --startup-project ../{YourProjectName}.WebApi/{YourProjectName}.WebApi.csproj -c "ApplicationDbContext"

The above guide (To use MySQL) was contributed by geekz-reno.

Default Roles & Credentials

As soon you build and run your application, default users and roles get added to the database.

Default Roles are as follows.

  • SuperAdmin
  • Admin
  • Moderator
  • Basic

Here are the credentials for the default users.

You can use these default credentials to generate valid JWTokens at the ../api/account/authenticate endpoint.

Purpose of this Project

Does it really make sense to Setup your ASP.NET Core Solution everytime you start a new WebApi Project ? Aren't we wasting quite a lot of time in doing this over and over gain?

This is the exact Problem that I intend to solve with this Full-Fledged ASP.NET Core 3.1 WebApi Solution Template, that also follows various principles of Clean Architecture.

The primary goal is to create a Full-Fledged implementation, that is well documented along with the steps taken to build this Solution from Scratch. This Solution Template will also be available within Visual Studio 2019 (by installing the required Nuget Package / Extension).

  • Demonstrate Clean Monolith Architecture in ASP.NET Core 3.1
  • This is not a Proof of Concept
  • Implementation that is ready for Production
  • Integrate the most essential libraries and packages

Share it!

I have personally not come across a clean implementation on a WebAPI, which is the reason that I started building this up. There are quite a lot of improvements and fixes along the way from the day I started out. Thanks to the community for the support and suggestions. Please share this Repository within your developer community, if you think that this would a difference! Thanks.
