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

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t

DevToys–A swiss army knife for developers

As a developer there are a lot of small tasks you need to do as part of your coding, debugging and testing activities.  DevToys is an offline windows app that tries to help you with these tasks.
