  1. Hi Mukesh, thank you so much for this great work ! do you think it is a good idea to add 2 others projects to the template : an “integration test” project and a “unit test” project …. with samples to show how the tests should be approaches with architecture… ?

    Again, I really like your good job ! Thanks you !

  2. I would like to let you know that I have cloned your source code from Github and build it in my development environment it is working fine, but when I try to publish this and host it to iis I am getting server error 500.
    I am getting issues on //Read Configuration from appSettings
    var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddJsonFile(“appsettings.json”)
    .Build();
    Json Parsing issue.
    I have only made changes in the connection string and nothing else.

  4. This is awesome! I plan to play around with it this week. I am curious with everyone moving to Angular, React, or Vue; why did you chose MVC for the front end? I need to make this decision for a project and am curious on your input.

    1. Hi. Nothing very specific actually. People build client applications using React etc. But the project that I included is not a client application. It’s a complete application with direct access to the app layer without consuming the API. If I were to go for a client application, I would have chosen Angular or Blazor.

      Regards.

  8. Hi Mukesh, Thank you so much for an amazing work!
    I’ve one question, how can we use ApplicationUser inside Domain project?
    For i.e
    public class Feedback
    {
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Note { get; set; }
    public string UserId { get; set; }
    public DateTime Created { get; set; }
    [JsonIgnore]
    public virtual ApplicationUser User { get; set; }
    }
    Here UserId is foreign key and using User as navigation property.
    But

  10. I would like to ask about one issue. I want to make a one to many relationship with the application user (aspnet user) for which I have a table named Office unit. So the scenario is , one office unit can have many users. How can I implement this relationship in the architecture if I implement a new Entity named OfficeUnit inside Core->Domain. Or I am getting this wrong? I am just learning it so I may be confused.
    Thanks.
