Setup Guide

If you already completed the setup guide for the api repository you can skip steps 1 and 2 as this project shares the same development environment.

1. Install the .NET Core 3.1 SDK: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download

2. Configure the ASP.NET core environment for development: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/environments?view=aspnetcore-3.1#set-the-environment

    export ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
   

3. Create the following configuration files and modify as required. Network delay values are in milliseconds and are used to simulate a slow article server:

    appsettings.json
   

   {
     "NetworkDelay": {
       "ArticlePageDelay": 0,
       "CssFileDelay": 0,
       "HomePageDelay": 0,
       "ImageFileDelay": 0,
       "JavascriptFileDelay": 0
     },
     "Logging": {
   		"LogLevel": {
   			"Default": "Information",
   			"Microsoft": "Warning",
   			"Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
   		}
   	},
   	"AllowedHosts": "*",
   	"Kestrel": {
   		"Endpoints": {
   			"Http": {
   				"Url": "http://localhost:5002"
   			}
   		}
   	}
   }

4. Restore packages

    dotnet restore
   

5. Build and run the server

    dotnet watch run
