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.
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
