WeText is a sample application that demonstrates the implementation of DDD/CQRS and microservice architectural patterns in C#.

• Visual Studio 2015 with latest update (For development and debugging purpose)
  • If you want to setup the CI server, you don't need to install the whole Visual Studio pack on your CI server, which is neither necessary nor cost-efficient. Please install the following packs instead:
    • MS Build Tool: https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/download/details.aspx?id=48159
    • .NET 4.6.1 Developer Pack: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49978
• Rabbit MQ (For lightweight message queue)
• Mongo DB (For CQRS Event Store)
• MySQL (In case you wish to use MySQL as Table Data Gateway)
• PostgreSQL (In case you wish to use PostgreSQL as Table Data Gateway)

Follow the instructions below to setup your environment so that you can debug and run the WeText application.

• Download the source code from GitHub

    git clone https://github.com/daxnet/we-text
  

• Download and install Rabbit MQ with default preferences (Default port numbers, default server configuration)

  • For more information about Rabbit MQ installation, please refer to https://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html

• Download and install Mongo DB with default preferences (Default port numbers, default server configuration)

  • For more information about MongoDB installation, please refer to https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/

• Download and install MySQL community edition with default preferences (In case you wish to use MySQL as Table Data Gateway)

  • For more information about MySQL server installation, please refer to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/installing.html

• Download and install PostgreSQL database with default preferences (In case you wish to use PostgreSQL as Table Data Gateway)

  • For more information about PostgreSQL installation, please refer to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/tutorial-install.html

• Initialize databases with the scripts (These scripts are only for use by querying)

  • If you are using MySQL, please execute the database initialization script file mysql_query_databases.sql under the scripts folder
  • If you are using PostgreSQL, please execute the database initialization script file pg_query_databases.sql under the scripts folder

• (Optional) Install either MySQL or PostgreSQL client management tools

  • For MySQL, please refer to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
  • For PostgreSQL, please refer to http://www.pgadmin.org/

Follow the instructions below to run WeText application from within Visual Studio 2015.

• Open WeText.sln from Visual Studio 2015
• Set WeText.Service project as startup project and run
• Set WeText.Web project as startup project and run
• Enjoy! ^_^

Note that the default configuration assumes that all the message queuing and database services are run on the same machine as the application (localhost). You can change the settings by editing the App.config file in WeText.Service application according to your environment setup. For debugging and demonstration purpose, running on the same local machine is recommended.
