DotnetCoreBlog - Overview

This repository contains a multi-layered ASP.NET Core blog application with API and web UI components. The solution follows a modular architecture with separation of concerns across different projects.

Solution Structure

CoreBlog.API

The main API project for the blog application.

CoreBlog.BusinessLayer

Business logic layer containing service implementations and validation rules.

CoreBlog.CoreLayer

Core abstractions and cross-cutting concerns.

CoreBlog.DataAccessLayer

Data access implementations with Entity Framework.

CoreBlog.EntityLayer

Domain entities and models.

CoreBlog.JwtAPI

JWT authentication API project.

CoreBlog.UI

ASP.NET Core MVC web application.

Development Setup

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/doganenes/DotnetCoreBlog
   cd DotnetCoreBlog

2. Restore NuGet packages

   dotnet restore

3. Update connection strings

   • Configure database connection strings in appsettings.json files
   • Update JWT settings in authentication projects

4. Run database migrations

   dotnet ef database update

5. Build and run

   # For API
   dotnet run --project CoreBlog.API
   
   # For Web UI
   dotnet run --project CoreBlog.UI
   
   # For JWT API
   dotnet run --project CoreBlog.JwtAPI

Architecture Overview

The project follows a layered architecture pattern:

• Presentation Layer: CoreBlog.UI and CoreBlog.API
• Business Layer: CoreBlog.BusinessLayer
• Data Access Layer: CoreBlog.DataAccessLayer
• Entity Layer: CoreBlog.EntityLayer
• Core Layer: CoreBlog.CoreLayer
• Authentication: CoreBlog.JwtAPI

Key Features

• Multi-layered architecture
• JWT authentication support
• Entity Framework Core data access
• ASP.NET Core Web API
• MVC web interface
• Separation of concerns
• Repository pattern implementation
• Business logic validation

Technology Stack

• .NET Core 8.0
• Entity Framework Core - ORM for data access
• JWT Bearer Authentication - Token-based authentication
• ASP.NET Core MVC - Web application framework
• ASP.NET Core Web API - RESTful API services

Project Dependencies

Each layer has specific responsibilities and dependencies:

Project	Purpose
CoreBlog.UI	Web interface
CoreBlog.API	REST API endpoints
CoreBlog.JwtAPI	Authentication services
CoreBlog.BusinessLayer	Business rules
CoreBlog.DataAccessLayer	Data operations
CoreBlog.EntityLayer	Domain models
CoreBlog.CoreLayer	Cross-cutting concerns

Getting Started

1. Ensure you have .NET 8.0 or later installed
2. Set up your database connection string
3. Run migrations to create the database schema
4. Start with either the API or UI project based on your needs
5. Use the JWT API for authentication token generation
