An example app for my Pluralsight course.

Starting Code for "Using gRPC in ASP.NET Core"

An example app for my Pluralsight course (Using gRPC in ASP.NET Core). The Course can be found at:

Building the Example

There are a couple of tasks before you can just run the project:

Build the Database

If you don't have the Entity Framework Core tools installed for .NET 3.0, you'll need to:

C:/>dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

Then you can build the database by running this in the root of the project (at a console):

C:/>dotnet ef database update

Setup the NPM Dependencies

First you'll need to install the root project's NPM packages. To do so, go to the src/MeterReader/ directory:

C:/> cd {RootFolder}/src/MeterReader

Then you'll need to run NPM's install:

C:/.../MeterReader> npm install

Finally, merge the libraries with Gulp:

C:/.../MeterReader> gulp

Build the Vue Project

Next, you'll need to build the Vue project (only once). GO to the client directory under the MeterReader directory:

C:/> cd {RootFolder}/src/MeterReader/client

Then run npm install in that folder:

C:/.../client> npm install

Now you can build the project like so:

C:/.../client>npm run build

Now you're ready to open the project by opening the:

C:/> cd {RootFolder}/src
C:/.../src> MeterReader.sln

With the project open, you can be ready to start the course.
