💻 Installation

To download .NET visit this link and follow instructions for your current OS.

🔧 Configuration

Open your system terminal and run commands:

git clone https://github.com/plxgwalker/Suvorov.LNU.Twitter-Clone.git
cd Suvorov.LNU.Twitter-Clone

Add your already deployed database connection string to files:

In Suvorov.LNU.TwitterClone.Database/NetworkDbContext.cs method OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder options) add line of code which below. Instead of ConnectionString add your database connection string. Line of code: options.UseSqlServer("ConnectionString");. Method should look like that:

protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder options)
	{
		options.UseLazyLoadingProxies();
		options.UseSqlServer("ConnectionString");
	}

In Suvorov.LNU.TwitterClone.Web/appsettings.json in "ConnectionStrings" add line: "NetworkConnection": "ConnectionString". Instead of ConnectionString add your database connection string. Code shluld look like this:

  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "NetworkConnection": "ConnectionString"
  }

Than (if you have App Services) add line of your connection string to application insights. Code in Suvorov.LNU.TwitterClone.Web/appsettings.json should look something like that, but also instead of ConnectionString should be yours.

"ApplicationInsights": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information"
    },
    "ConnectionString": "ConnectionString"
  },

Also should be installed list of NuGet packages to folder/project Suvorov.LNU.TwitterClone.Database.
