DotVVM Sample App
CheckBook:This is a sample application featuring the basic principles of DotVVM, an open source MVVM framework for ASP.NET Core and OWIN.
This application demonstrates using DotVVM 2.3.1 with ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core and SQLite database.
You can find an older version of this sample using ASP.NET 4.5 with OWIN in the dotnetframework
branch.
Running The Sample
The SQLite database will be created upon first run of the application.
Simply open the solution in Visual Studio, or go to the CheckBook.App
folder and run dotnet run
. You'll need to install .NET Core SDK (2.0 or newer).
The default user account is [email protected] / Pa$$w0rd.
Features Demonstrated in the Sample
-
Bootstrap and Modal Dialogs
The sample is a demonstration of a simple web app with common features like authentication. There are two projects in the application:
-
CheckBook.DataAccess - Data Access Layer and Business Layer of the application
-
Model folder contains Entity Framework Core model
-
Services folder is a simple business layer. The services are registered in the
IServiceCollection
in theStartup.cs
file. -
Data contains objects that are passed from the DataAccess project to the App project. We don't use Entity Framework Core entities in the viewmodels because it would cause serialization and other issues. We always transform them to these Data Transfer Objects.
