The Application uses data-store in SQL Server.

Update the SimpleChatConnectionString connection string within simple-chat-api/src/Ehasan.SimpleChat.API/appsettings.json , so that application can point to a valid SQL Server instance.

  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "SimpleChatConnectionString": "Server=ehasan-dbms; Database=SimpleChatDb; Trusted_Connection=True; MultipleActiveResultSets=True;"
  },

When you run update-database command, the migrations will be applied and the database will be automatically created.

This will contain all entities, enums, exceptions, interfaces, types and logic specific to the domain layer.

This layer contains all application logic. It is dependent on the domain layer, but has no dependencies on any other layer or project. This layer defines interfaces that are implemented by outside layers. For example, if the application need to access a message service, a new interface would be added to application and an implementation would be created within infrastructure.

This layer contains classes for accessing external resources such as file systems, web services, smtp, and so on. These classes should be based on interfaces defined within the application layer.

This layer contains unit tests.

This layer is a restfull api based on .Net Core 3.1. This layer depends on both the Application and Infrastructure layers, however, the dependency on Infrastructure is only to support dependency injection. Therefore only Startup.cs should reference Infrastructure.

Front-end is a single page application based on angular 9. This only communicates with restfull api layer to store or retrieve data.
