{
"UI": ["MVC", "Blazor", "BlazorServer", "NG"],
"DB": ["EF", "Mongo"]
}
````
This is a single-part, quick-start tutorial to build a simple todo application with the ABP Framework. Here, a screenshot from the final application:
![todo-list](todo-list.png)
You can find source code of the completed application [here](https://github.com/abpframework/abp-samples/tree/master/TodoApp).
## Pre-Requirements
* An IDE (e.g. [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/)) that supports [.NET 5.0+](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet) development.
{{if DB=="Mongo"}}
* [MongoDB Server 4.0+](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/install-community/)
{{end}}
{{if UI=="NG"}}
* [Node v14.x](https://nodejs.org/)
{{end}}
## Creating a New Solution
We will use the [ABP CLI](../../CLI.md) to create new solutions with the ABP Framework. You can run the following command in a command-line terminal to install it:
````bash
dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Cli
````
Then create an empty folder, open a command-line terminal and execute the following command in the terminal:
````bash
abp new TodoApp{{if UI=="Blazor"}} -u blazor{{else if UI=="BlazorServer"}} -u blazor-server{{else if UI=="NG"}} -u angular{{end}}{{if DB=="Mongo"}} -d mongodb{{end}}
````
{{if UI=="NG"}}
This will create a new solution, named *TodoApp* with `angular` and `aspnet-core` folders. Once the solution is ready, open the ASP.NET Core solution in your favorite IDE.
{{else}}
This will create a new solution, named *TodoApp*. Once the solution is ready, open it in your favorite IDE.
{{end}}
### Create the Database
If you are using Visual Studio, right click to the `TodoApp.DbMigrator` project, select *Set as StartUp Project*, then hit *Ctrl+F5* to run it without debugging. It will create the initial database and seed the initial data.
{{if DB=="EF"}}
> Some IDEs (e.g. Rider) may have problems for the first run since *DbMigrator* adds the initial migration and re-compiles the project. In this case, open a command-line terminal in the folder of the `.DbMigrator` project and execute the `dotnet run` command.
{{end}}
### Run the Application
{{if UI=="MVC" || UI=="BlazorServer"}}
It is good to run the application before starting the development. Ensure the {{if UI=="BlazorServer"}}`TodoApp.Blazor`{{else}}`TodoApp.Web`{{end}} project is the startup project, then run the application (Ctrl+F5 in Visual Studio) to see the initial UI:
{{else if UI=="Blazor"}}
It is good to run the application before starting the development. The solution has two main applications;
* `TodoApp.HttpApi.Host` host the server-side HTTP API.
* `TodoApp.Blazor` is the client-side Blazor WebAssembly application.
Ensure the `TodoApp.HttpApi.Host` project is the startup project, then run the application (Ctrl+F5 in Visual Studio) to see the server-side HTTP API on the [Swagger UI](https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/):
![todo-swagger-ui-initial](todo-swagger-ui-initial.png)
You can explore and test your HTTP API with this UI. Now, we can set the `TodoApp.Blazor` as the startup project and run it to open the actual Blazor application UI:
{{else if UI=="NG"}}
It is good to run the application before starting the development. The solution has two main applications;
* `TodoApp.HttpApi.Host` (in the .NET solution) host the server-side HTTP API.
* `angular` folder contains the Angular application.
Ensure the `TodoApp.HttpApi.Host` project is the startup project, then run the application (Ctrl+F5 in Visual Studio) to see the server-side HTTP API on the [Swagger UI](https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/):
![todo-swagger-ui-initial](todo-swagger-ui-initial.png)
You can explore and test your HTTP API with this UI. If that works, we can run the Angular client application.
First, run the following command to restore the NPM packages;
````bash
npm install
````
It will take some time to install all the packages. Then you can run the application using the following command:
````bash
npm start
````
This command takes time, but eventually runs and opens the application in your default browser:
{{end}}
![todo-ui-initial](todo-ui-initial.png)
You can click to the *Login* button, use `admin` as the username and `1q2w3E*` as the password to login to the application.
All ready. We can start the coding!
## Domain Layer
This application has a single [entity](../../Entities.md) and we are starting by creating it. Create a new `TodoItem` class inside the *TodoApp.Domain* project:
````csharp
using System;
using Volo.Abp.Domain.Entities;
namespace TodoApp
{
public class TodoItem : BasicAggregateRoot<Guid>
{
public string Text { get; set; }
}
}
````
`BasicAggregateRoot` is the simplest base class to create root entities, and `Guid` is the primary key (`Id`) of the entity here.
## Database Integration
{{if DB=="EF"}}
Next step is to setup the [Entity Framework Core](../../Entity-Framework-Core.md) configuration.
### Mapping Configuration
Open the `TodoAppDbContext` class in the `EntityFrameworkCore` folder of the *TodoApp.EntityFrameworkCore* project and add a new `DbSet` property to this class:
````csharp
public DbSet<TodoItem> TodoItems { get; set; }
````
Then locate to `OnModelCreating` method in the `TodoAppDbContext` class and add the mapping code for the `TodoItem ` entity:
````csharp
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
{
base.OnModelCreating(builder);
/* Include modules to your migration db context */
builder.ConfigurePermissionManagement();
...
/* Configure your own tables/entities inside here */
builder.Entity<TodoItem>(b =>
{
b.ToTable("TodoItems");
});
}
````
We've mapped `TodoItem` entity to a `TodoItems` table in the database.
### Code First Migrations
The startup solution is configured to use Entity Framework Core [Code First Migrations](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/managing-schemas/migrations). Since we've changed the database mapping configuration, we should create a new migration and apply changes to the database.
Open a command-line terminal in the directory of the *TodoApp.EntityFrameworkCore* project and type the following command:
````bash
dotnet ef migrations add Added_TodoItem
````
This will add a new migration class to the project:
![todo-efcore-migration](todo-efcore-migration.png)
You can apply changes to the database using the following command, in the same command-line terminal:
````bash
dotnet ef database update
````
> If you are using Visual Studio, you may want to use `Add-Migration Added_TodoItem` and `Update-Database` commands in the *Package Manager Console (PMC)*. In this case, ensure that {{if UI=="MVC"}}`TodoApp.Web`{{else if UI=="BlazorServer"}}`TodoApp.Blazor`{{else if UI=="Blazor" || UI=="NG"}}`TodoApp.HttpApi.Host`{{end}} is the startup project and `TodoApp.EntityFrameworkCore` is the *Default Project* in PMC.
{{else if DB=="Mongo"}}
Next step is to setup the [MongoDB](../../MongoDB.md) configuration. Open the `TodoAppMongoDbContext` class in the `MongoDb` folder of the *TodoApp.MongoDB* project and make the following changes;
1. Add a new property to the class:
````csharp
public IMongoCollection<TodoItem> TodoItems => Collection<TodoItem>();
````
2. Add the following code inside the `CreateModel` method:
````csharp
modelBuilder.Entity<TodoItem>(b =>
{
b.CollectionName = "TodoItems";
});
````
{{end}}
Now, we can use ABP repositories to save and retrieve todo items, as we'll do in the next section.
## Application Layer
An [Application Service](../../Application-Services.md) is used to perform use cases of the application. We need to perform the following use cases:
* Get the list of todo items
* Create a new todo item
* Delete an existing todo item
### Application Service Interface
We can start by defining an interface for the application service. Create a new `ITodoAppService` interface in the *TodoApp.Application.Contracts* project, as shown below:
````csharp
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Services;
namespace TodoApp
{
public interface ITodoAppService : IApplicationService
{
Task<List<TodoItemDto>> GetListAsync();
Task<TodoItemDto> CreateAsync(string text);
Task DeleteAsync(Guid id);
}
}
````
### Data Transfer Object
`GetListAsync` and `CreateAsync` methods return `TodoItemDto`. `ApplicationService` typically gets and returns DTOs ([Data Transfer Objects](../../Data-Transfer-Objects.md)) instead of entities. So, we should define the DTO class here. Create a new `TodoItemDto` class inside the *TodoApp.Application.Contracts* project:
````csharp
using System;
namespace TodoApp
{
public class TodoItemDto
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string Text { get; set; }
}
}
````
This is a very simple DTO class that matches to our `TodoItem` entity. We are ready to implement the `ITodoAppService`.
### Application Service Implementation
Create a `TodoAppService` class inside the *TodoApp.Application* project, as shown below:
````csharp
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Services;
using Volo.Abp.Domain.Repositories;
namespace TodoApp
{
public class TodoAppService : ApplicationService, ITodoAppService
{
private readonly IRepository<TodoItem, Guid> _todoItemRepository;
public TodoAppService(IRepository<TodoItem, Guid> todoItemRepository)
{
_todoItemRepository = todoItemRepository;
}
// TODO: Implement the methods here...
}
}
````
This class inherits from the `ApplicationService` class of the ABP Framework and implements the `ITodoAppService` that was defined before. ABP provides default generic [repositories](../../Repositories.md) for the entities. We can use them to perform the fundamental database operations. This class [injects](../../Dependency-Injection.md) `IRepository<TodoItem, Guid>`, which is the default repository for the `TodoItem` entity. We will use it to implement the use cases described before.
#### Getting Todo Items
Let's start by implementing the `GetListAsync` method:
````csharp
public async Task<List<TodoItemDto>> GetListAsync()
{
var items = await _todoItemRepository.GetListAsync();
return items
.Select(item => new TodoItemDto
{
Id = item.Id,
Text = item.Text
}).ToList();
}
````
We are simply getting the complete `TodoItem` list from database, mapping them to `TodoItemDto` objects and returning as the result.
#### Creating a New Todo Item
Next method is `CreateAsync` and we can implement it as shown below:
````csharp
public async Task<TodoItemDto> CreateAsync(string text)
{
var todoItem = await _todoItemRepository.InsertAsync(
new TodoItem {Text = text}
);
return new TodoItemDto
{
Id = todoItem.Id,
Text = todoItem.Text
};
}
````
Repository's `InsertAsync` method inserts the given `TodoItem` to database and returns the same `TodoItem` object. It also sets the `Id`, so we can use it on the returning object. We are simply returning a `TodoItemDto` by creating from the new `TodoItem` entity.
#### Deleting a Todo Item
Finally, we can implement the `DeleteAsync` as the following code block:
````csharp
public async Task DeleteAsync(Guid id)
{
await _todoItemRepository.DeleteAsync(id);
}
````
The application service is ready to be used from the UI layer.
## User Interface Layer
It is time to show the todo items on the UI! Before starting to write the code, it would be good to remember what we are trying to build. Here, a sample screenshot from the final UI:
![todo-list](todo-list.png)
> **We will keep the UI side minimal for this tutorial to make the tutorial simple and focused. See the [web application development tutorial](../Part-1.md) to build real-life pages with all aspects.**
{{if UI=="MVC"}}
### Index.cshtml.cs
Open the `Index.cshtml.cs` file in the `Pages` folder of the *TodoApp.Web* project and replace the content with the following code block:
````csharp
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace TodoApp.Web.Pages
{
public class IndexModel : TodoAppPageModel
{
public List<TodoItemDto> TodoItems { get; set; }
private readonly ITodoAppService _todoAppService;
public IndexModel(ITodoAppService todoAppService)
{
_todoAppService = todoAppService;
}
public async Task OnGetAsync()
{
TodoItems = await _todoAppService.GetListAsync();
}
}
}
````
This class uses the `ITodoAppService` to get the list of todo items and assign the the `TodoItems` property. We will use it to render the todo items on the razor page.
### Index.cshtml
Open the `Index.cshtml` file in the `Pages` folder of the *TodoApp.Web* project and replace with the following content:
````xml
@page
@model TodoApp.Web.Pages.IndexModel
@section styles {
<abp-style src="/Pages/Index.css" />
}
@section scripts {
<abp-script src="/Pages/Index.js" />
}
<div class="container">
<abp-card>
<abp-card-header>
<abp-card-title>
TODO LIST
</abp-card-title>
</abp-card-header>
<abp-card-body>
<!-- FORM FOR NEW TODO ITEMS -->
<form id="NewItemForm" class="form-inline">
<input id="NewItemText"
type="text"
class="form-control mr-2"
placeholder="enter text...">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>
<!-- TODO ITEMS LIST -->
<ul id="TodoList">
@foreach (var todoItem in Model.TodoItems)
{
<li data-id="@todoItem.Id">
<i class="fa fa-trash-o"></i> @todoItem.Text
</li>
}
</ul>
</abp-card-body>
</abp-card>
</div>
````
We are using ABP's [card tag helper](../../UI/AspNetCore/Tag-Helpers/Cards.md) to create a simple card view. You could directly use the standard bootstrap HTML structure, however the ABP [tag helpers](../../UI/AspNetCore/Tag-Helpers/Index.md) make it much easier and type safe.
This page imports a CSS and a JavaScript file, so we should also create them.
### Index.js
Open the `Index.js` file in the `Pages` folder of the *TodoApp.Web* project and replace with the following content:
````js
$(function () {
// DELETING ITEMS /////////////////////////////////////////
$('#TodoList').on('click', 'li i', function(){
var $li = $(this).parent();
var id = $li.attr('data-id');
todoApp.todo.delete(id).then(function(){
$li.remove();
abp.notify.info('Deleted the todo item.');
});
});
// CREATING NEW ITEMS /////////////////////////////////////
$('#NewItemForm').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var todoText = $('#NewItemText').val();
todoApp.todo.create(todoText).then(function(result){
$('<li data-id="' + result.id + '">')
.html('<i class="fa fa-trash-o"></i> ' + result.text)
.appendTo($('#TodoList'));
$('#NewItemText').val('');
});
});
});
````
In the first part, we are subscribing to click events of the trash icons near to the todo items, deleting the related item on the server and showing a notification on the UI. Also, we are removing the deleted item from DOM, so we don't need to refresh the page.
In the second part, we are creating a new todo item on the server. If it succeeds, we are then manipulating DOM to insert a new `<li>` element to the todo list. This way we don't need to refresh the whole page after creating a new todo item.
The interesting part here is how we communicate with the server. See the *Dynamic JavaScript Proxies & Auto API Controllers* section to understand how it works. But now, let's continue and complete the application.
### Index.css
As the final touch, open the `Index.css` file in the `Pages` folder of the *TodoApp.Web* project and replace with the following content:
````css
#TodoList{
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#TodoList li {
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px 0px;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
}
#TodoList li i
{
opacity: 0.5;
}
#TodoList li i:hover
{
opacity: 1;
color: #ff0000;
cursor: pointer;
}
````
This is a simple styling for the todo page. We believe that you can do much better :)
Now, you can run the application again and see the result.
### Dynamic JavaScript Proxies & Auto API Controllers
In the `Index.js` file, we've used `todoApp.todo.delete(...)` and `todoApp.todo.create(...)` functions to communicate with the server. These functions are dynamically created by the ABP Framework, thanks to the [Dynamic JavaScript Client Proxy](../../UI/AspNetCore/Dynamic-JavaScript-Proxies.md) system. They perform HTTP API calls to the server and return a promise, so you can register a callback to the `then` function as we've done above.
However, you may notice that we haven't created any API Controller, so how server handles these requests? This question brings us the [Auto API Controller](../../API/Auto-API-Controllers.md) feature of the ABP Framework. It automatically converts the application services to API Controllers by convention.
If you open the [Swagger UI](https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/) by entering the `/swagger` URL in your application, you can see the Todo API:
![todo-api](todo-api.png)
{{else if UI=="Blazor" || UI=="BlazorServer"}}
### Index.razor.cs
Open the `Index.razor.cs` file in the `Pages` folder of the *TodoApp.Blazor* project and replace the content with the following code block:
````csharp
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace TodoApp.Blazor.Pages
{
public partial class Index
{
[Inject]
private ITodoAppService TodoAppService { get; set; }
private List<TodoItemDto> TodoItems { get; set; } = new List<TodoItemDto>();
private string NewTodoText { get; set; }
protected async override Task OnInitializedAsync()
{
TodoItems = await TodoAppService.GetListAsync();
}
private async Task Create()
{
var result = await TodoAppService.CreateAsync(NewTodoText);
TodoItems.Add(result);
NewTodoText = null;
}
private async Task Delete(TodoItemDto todoItem)
{
await TodoAppService.DeleteAsync(todoItem.Id);
await Notify.Info("Deleted the todo item.");
TodoItems.Remove(todoItem);
}
}
}
````
This class uses the `ITodoAppService` to perform operations for the todo items. It manipulates the `TodoItems` list after create and delete operations. This way, we don't need to refresh the whole todo list from the server.
{{if UI=="Blazor"}}
See the *Dynamic C# Proxies & Auto API Controllers* section below to learn how we could inject and use the application service interface from the Blazor application which is running on the browser! But now, let's continue and complete the application.
{{end # Blazor}}
### Index.razor
Open the `Index.razor` file in the `Pages` folder of the *TodoApp.Blazor* project and replace the content with the following code block:
````xml
@page "/"
@inherits TodoAppComponentBase
<div class="container">
<Card>
<CardHeader>
<CardTitle>
TODO LIST
</CardTitle>
</CardHeader>
<CardBody>
<!-- FORM FOR NEW TODO ITEMS -->
<form id="NewItemForm"
@onsubmit:preventDefault
@onsubmit="() => Create()"
class="form-inline">
<input type="text"
@bind-value="@NewTodoText"
class="form-control mr-2"
placeholder="enter text...">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>
<!-- TODO ITEMS LIST -->
<ul id="TodoList">
@foreach (var todoItem in TodoItems)
{
<li data-id="@todoItem.Id">
<i class="far fa-trash-alt"
@onclick="() => Delete(todoItem)"
></i> @todoItem.Text
</li>
}
</ul>
</CardBody>
</Card>
</div>
````
### Index.razor.css
As the final touch, open the `Index.razor.css` file in the `Pages` folder of the *TodoApp.Web* project and replace with the following content:
````css
#TodoList{
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#TodoList li {
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px 0px;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
}
#TodoList li i
{
opacity: 0.5;
}
#TodoList li i:hover
{
opacity: 1;
color: #ff0000;
cursor: pointer;
}
````
This is a simple styling for the todo page. We believe that you can do much better :)
Now, you can run the application again to see the result.
{{if UI=="Blazor"}}
### Dynamic C# Proxies & Auto API Controllers
In the `Index.razor.cs` file, we've injected (with the `[Inject]` attribute) and used the `ITodoAppService` just like using a local service. Remember that the Blazor application is running on the browser while the implementation of this application service is running on the server.
The magic is done by the ABP Framework's [Dynamic C# Client Proxy](../../API/Dynamic-CSharp-API-Clients.md) system. It uses the standard `HttpClient` and performs HTTP API requests to the remote server. It also handles all the standard tasks for us, including authorization, JSON serialization and exception handling.
However, you may ask that we haven't created any API Controller, so how server handles these requests? This question brings us the [Auto API Controller](../../API/Auto-API-Controllers.md) feature of the ABP Framework. It automatically converts the application services to API Controllers by convention.
If you run the `TodoApp.HttpApi.Host` application, you can see the Todo API:
![todo-api](todo-api.png)
{{end # Blazor}}
{{else if UI=="NG"}}
### Service Proxy Generation
ABP provides a handy feature to automatically create client-side services to easily consume HTTP APIs provided by the server.
You first need to run the `TodoApp.HttpApi.Host` project since the proxy generator reads API definitions from the server application.
> **Warning**: There is an issue with IIS Express: it doesn't allow to connect to the application from another process. If you are using Visual Studio, select the `TodoApp.HttpApi.Host` instead of IIS Express in the run button drop-down list, as shown in the figure below:
![run-without-iisexpress](run-without-iisexpress.png)
Once you run the `TodoApp.HttpApi.Host` project, open a command-line terminal in the `angular` folder and type the following command:
````bash
abp generate-proxy
````
If everything goes well, it should generate an output like shown below:
````bash
CREATE src/app/proxy/generate-proxy.json (170978 bytes)
CREATE src/app/proxy/README.md (1000 bytes)
CREATE src/app/proxy/todo.service.ts (794 bytes)
CREATE src/app/proxy/models.ts (66 bytes)
CREATE src/app/proxy/index.ts (58 bytes)
````
We can then use the `todoService` to use the server-side HTTP APIs, as we'll do in the next section.
### home.component.ts
Open the `/angular/src/app/home/home.component.ts` file and replace its content with the following code block:
````js
import { ToasterService } from '@abp/ng.theme.shared';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { TodoItemDto, TodoService } from '@proxy';
@Component({
selector: 'app-home',
templateUrl: './home.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./home.component.scss']
})
export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {
todoItems: TodoItemDto[];
newTodoText: string;
constructor(
private todoService: TodoService,
private toasterService: ToasterService)
{ }
ngOnInit(): void {
this.todoService.getList().subscribe(response => {
this.todoItems = response;
});
}
create(): void{
this.todoService.create(this.newTodoText).subscribe((result) => {
this.todoItems = this.todoItems.concat(result);
this.newTodoText = null;
});
}
delete(id: string): void {
this.todoService.delete(id).subscribe(() => {
this.todoItems = this.todoItems.filter(item => item.id !== id);
this.toasterService.info('Deleted the todo item.');
});
}
}
````
We've used the `todoService` to get the list of todo items and assigned the returning value to the `todoItems` array. We've also added `create` and `delete` methods. These methods will be used in the view side.
### home.component.html
Open the `/angular/src/app/home/home.component.html` file and replace its content with the following code block:
````html
<div class="container">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">
<div class="card-title">TODO LIST</div>
</div>
<div class="card-body">
<!-- FORM FOR NEW TODO ITEMS -->
<form class="form-inline" (ngSubmit)="create()">
<input
name="NewTodoText"
type="text"
[(ngModel)]="newTodoText"
class="form-control mr-2"
placeholder="enter text..."
/>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>
<!-- TODO ITEMS LIST -->
<ul id="TodoList">
<li *ngFor="let todoItem of todoItems">
<i class="fa fa-trash-o" (click)="delete(todoItem.id)"></i> {%{{{ todoItem.text }}}%}
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
````
### home.component.scss
As the final touch, open the `/angular/src/app/home/home.component.scss` file and replace its content with the following code block:
````css
#TodoList{
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#TodoList li {
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px 0px;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
}
#TodoList li i
{
opacity: 0.5;
}
#TodoList li i:hover
{
opacity: 1;
color: #ff0000;
cursor: pointer;
}
````
This is a simple styling for the todo page. We believe that you can do much better :)
Now, you can run the application again to see the result.
{{end}}
## Conclusion
In this tutorial, we've built a very simple application to warm up to the ABP Framework. If you are looking to build a serious application, please check the [web application development tutorial](../Part-1.md) which covers all the aspects of a real-life web application development.
