Pull repository locally and run the API in Visual Studio or deploy all necessary files in IIS.
-
Configure connection string and Token options in AppSettings.{env}.json. "DefaultConnection": "Host=localhost;Port=5432;Username=;Password=;Database=;"
-
Install Postgress where the DB will be deployed. If the database will run in a local machine, run "cmd.exe" on ~/JobsityFinancialChat.Domain and run the following command "dotnet ef database update". It will run all necessary migration files to create and put the database up-to-date. (note 1)
-
Once the WebApi is deployed, go to the Frontend folder and run the UI. Click on "init.html" and enter your user credentials**. If the WebAPI is running in a local environment, a new user must be created with:
Host: localhost:57092
Content-Type: application/json
cache-control: no-cache
Postman-Token: af0dcf4c-91ce-4f10-822a-76a19282831d
{
"firstName": <firstName>,
"firstName": "string",
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": <password> // Password must have at least 8 characters, an Uppercase letter, a symbol and a number. (i.e."A$2WEe_1")
}
-
After the user is authenticated, the UI saves the user token which is retrieved from the login endpoint. This process is automatic.
-
The user will see a list of available chatrooms, where he/she can join in (note 3). After the user selects a chatroom, the API retrieves the last 50 messages sorted by created date.
-
The user can post messages as commands into the chatroom with the following format
/stock=stock_code. The message will be a stock quote using the following format: “APPL.US quote is $93.42 per share. -
All users that belong to the chatroom should see all the messages, but the command messages are not stored in the DB.
(note 1) There's a remote server DB that can be used. Please send an email to [email protected] to get access.
(note 2) There are preexisting users in the remote database. Please send an email to [email protected] to get access.
(note 3) The API provides an endpoint that can be used to create new chat rooms:
Host: localhost:57092
