Description

A simple app to record visitors.

Users are registered with basic credentials or OAuth.

1. User registers or signs in
2. User records visit details
3. User ends visit

Admin

Admin users can log in and see a record of all visitors

Future development

• Filter visitors on admin page based on date.
• Add optional Company for contractors and visitors. Add Centre for employees. Store against user profile
• Update OAuth secrets and keys
• Use refresh token
• Integrate with AD to find employees
• Add notifications so host is notified that a visitor has arrived

Install Dependencies

After creating your project go to your Reception folder and install your client App dependencies with:

$ npm install

If your IDE doesn't automatically install your .NET NuGet Dependencies, you can manually install them with:

$ dotnet restore

Add the dev cert for https

$ dotnet dev-certs https --trust

Dev Workflow

Start a watched .NET Core build in the background from the command-line with:

$ dotnet watch run

In a new terminal window start a watched nuxt dev server build with:

$ npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to view your App served directly from Nuxt.js dev server and will proxy all Server requests to ServiceStack Server running on http://localhost:5000.

Update DTOs

Whilst Nuxt.js is a JavaScript (ES 6/7) App it still benefits from ServiceStack's TypeScript Add Reference where you can generate typed DTOs with the dtos npm script:

$ npm run dtos

This will update the Servers dtos.ts and generate its corresponding dtos.js which can be imported as normal classes as seen in gateway.js. Despite the App not being built with TypeScript, developing using a "TypeScript-aware" IDE like VS Code will still be able to utilize the TypeScript classes in @servicestack/client and the generated dtos.ts to provide a rich, typed intelli-sense experience.

Generate Static Production Build

Most of the time during development you'll be viewing your App through Nuxt.js dev server to take advantage of it's Hot Module Replacement for instant UI updates. At any time you can also view a production build of your App with:

$ npm run build

Which will generate an encapsulated production build of your App in /wwwroot which you can view running from your ServiceStack Server App directly:

• http://localhost:5000

Publishing App for Deployment

To create a release client and server build of your App run:

$ npm run publish

Which will publish your App to bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1/publish which you can deploy as a standard .NET Core App.

Provision an environment

Prerequisites

• Install Azure CLI

Commands can be run individual through the Azure Cloud Shell or via powershell. If running via powershell, change the extension to .ps1. The script will create a app service under a resource group.

1. Run the provision.azcli script in the 'Scripts' folder.

2. If required, install the SSL certificate (found in the 'Scripts' folder along with the installation script). After the application has been installed the website bindings would need to be configured to reference the certificate. A CNAME entry needs to be requested from IT Support. Provide the DNS label that has been created from the provisioning script.
