Getting up to speed with QuickApp, an ASPNET Core / Angular4 startup project template

I’m always disappointed to see the amount of work to get your application setup done(you know the typical ‘Sprint 0’ work). Creating your frontend and backend projects, setting up your authentication and authorization, configure the webpack magic and so on… Before you know it you are 2 weeks in your project and you didn’t deliver a single bit of business functionality.

So every tool, framework or library that can help you get up to speed is a welcome addition to our toolbox. Recently I discovered QuickApp, an ASP.NET Core/AngularX Project Template.

QuickApp Demo

From the documentation:

This application consists of:

  • Template pages using Angular4 and TypeScript
  • RESTful API Backend using ASP.NET Core MVC Web API
  • Database using Entity Framework Core
  • Authentication based on OpenID Connect
  • API Documentation using Swagger
  • Webpack2 for managing client-side libraries
  • Theming using Bootstrap

You get the benefits of:

  • A complete backend and frontend project structure to build on, with login, user and permission-based role management already integrated
  • Data Access Layer built with the Repository and Unit of Work Pattern
  • Code First Database
  • A RESTful API Design
  • Angular Directives Quidance
  • Angular Pipes Quidance
  • Angular Animations Quidance
  • Angular Services
  • Dialog and Notification Services
  • Configuration Page and Configuration Service
  • Integrated Internationaliztion
  • Theming with SASS
  • Ready-to-use email API
  • Handling Access and Refresh Tokens with WebStorage (Bearer authentication) - No Cookies
  • Jquery Integration (Ability to use standard Jquery libraries)
  • CRUD APIs

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
