122 samples for aspnetcore fundamentals (updated daily)

Note

Now that .NET Core 2.0 and ASP.NET Core 2.0 have been released, I am going to update all the existing samples over time. All the new samples will rely on ASP.NET Core 2.0 immediately.

If you are studying ASP.NET Core, I am lurking on this Gitter Channel.

Welcome

The goal of this project is to enable .NET programmers to learn the new ASP.NET Core stack from the ground up directly from code. I will not address ASP.NET Core MVC in this project. There is so much power in the underlying ASP.NET Core stack. Don't miss them!

You should download the latest release version .NET Core SDK to be able to run these samples.

If you are running these samples on Linux, change the target framework inside the csproj files from

<TargetFramework>net461</TargetFramework>

to

<TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>

or to

<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>

Every sample is designed specifically to demonstrate a single idea. We will go wide and deep to the nitty gritty of ASP.NET Core stack. Enjoy the ride!

Some of the samples you see here involve mixed projects (net461) that will run only in Windows. For many .NET developers, full framework is the reality for forseeable future. We are not going to port multi-year production systems to run on Linux. We want to improve the creaky .NET MVC 2.0 that we have lying around and bring it up to speed to aspnetcore MVC.

If a sample requires additional dependencies, I will list them.

I highly recommend using Visual Studio Code to play around with these samples but it is not required. You can use Visual Studio 2017 as well.

How to run these samples

To run these samples, simply open your command line console, go to each folder and execute dotnet restore and then continue with dotnet watch run.

What's new in ASP.NET Core 2.0 (11)

This is a good explanation on what's new on ASP.NET Core 2.0. If you are new to ASP.NET Core, skip this section and go through the examples of ASP.NET Core 1.1/2.0 Samples listed below. They are better organized for newcomers.

This section will show new things in ASP.NET Core 2.0. The rest of the samples will work in ASP.NET Core 1.1 unless specified otherwise.

• Hello World with Microsoft.AspNetCore.All package

  If you are targeting netcoreapp2.0, you can use Microsoft.AspNetCore.All meta package that download most of the necessary packages to develop an ASP.NET Core/MVC system (including EF DB support).

  It also adds the following packages

  Installing Microsoft.IdentityModel.Logging 1.1.4.
  Installing Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens 5.1.4.

  In ASP.NET Core 2.0, this is the recommended way to start your host

  public class Program
  {
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        BuildWebHost(args).Run();
    }
  
    public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
        WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
            .UseStartup<Startup>()
            .UseEnvironment("Development")
            .Build();
  }
  

• A new way of configuring logging

  Now you configure logging at Program instead of Startup.Configure via ConfigureLogging.

• Logging filtering

  Now you can adjust what kind of logging information from various part of ASP.NET Core and your app you want show/stored.

• IConfiguration is now core

  ASP.NET Core 1.1

      public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory logger)
      {
          //These are the three default services available at Configure
          app.Run(context =>
          {
              return context.Response.WriteAsync('hello world');
          });
      }
  

  ASP.NET Core 2.0

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory logger, IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        //These are the four default services available at Configure
        app.Run(context =>
        {
            return context.Response.WriteAsync(configuration["greeting"]);
        });
    }
  

• Session Feature with Redis using BinaryFormatter

  This shows how to use session with Redis store. We use BinaryFormatter which is only available at .NET Core 2.0 to serialize and deserialize your object. The better way is to serialize your object using Json - BinaryFormatter is SLOW.

  Make sure you have Redis running on your localhost at default port. The connection string is specified at appsetings.json.

• Session Feature with Redis using JSON Serialization

  This shows how to use session with Redis store. Use this method instead of using BinaryFormatter.

  Make sure you have Redis running on your localhost at default port. The connection string is specified at appsetings.json.

  Note: This method is already available since ASP.NET Core 1.0. I put it here so it is located next to the BinaryFormatter sample.

• Anti Forgery on Form

  This exists on since .NET Core 1.0 however the configuration for the cookie has changed slightly. We are using IAntiForgery interface to store and generate anti forgery token to prevent XSRF/CSRF attacks.

• Razor Pages Basic

  This is the simplest example of the brand new Razor Pages. It shows the two approaches to Razor Pages, one with inline code behind and another with separate code behind.

• Razor Pages and MVC Basic

  Compare and contrast on how the same task can be performed by using Razor Pages and MVC.

  This sample also shows you how to us Entity Framework Core In-Memory Database.

• UseRouter extension

  Use app.UseRouter() extension to create minimalistic HTTP services similar to Nancy.

• UseRouter extension 2

  Use app.UseRouter() with alternative lambda signature.

• IHostedService

  Implement background tasks using the new IHostedService interface.

ASP.NET Core 1.1/2.0 Samples

All the samples below will run on ASP.NET Core 1.1 and ASP.NET Core 2.0.

All these projects require the following dependencies

   "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting" : "1.1.0-*"

• Hello World (21)

  • Hello World with reload

    Setup your most basic web app and enable the change+refresh development experience.

    We are using IApplicationBuilder Run, an extension method for adding terminal middleware.

  • Startup class

    • Hello World with startup basic

      This project contains all the available services available in Startup class constructor, ConfigureServices and Configure methods.

    • Hello World with custom startup class name

      You don't have to call your startup class Startup. Any valid C# class will do.

    • Hello World with responding to multiple urls

      Configure so that your web app responds to multiple urls.

    • Hello World with multiple startups

      This project highlights the fact that you can create multiple Startup classes and choose them at start depending on your needs.

    • Hello World with multiple startups using environment

      This project highlights the fact that you can create multiple startup classes and choose them at start depending on your needs depending on your environment (You do have to name the startup class with Startup).

    • Hello World with multiple Configure methods based on environment

      This project demonstrates the ability to pick Configure method in a single Startup class based on environment.

    • Hello World with multiple ConfigureServices methods based on environment

      This project demonstrates the ability to pick ConfigureServices method in a single Startup class based on environment.

    • Hello World with an implementation of IStartup interface

      We are really getting into the weed of startup right now. This is an example on how to implement IStartup directly.

    • Hello World without a startup class

      Why? just because we can.

    • Hello world with IStartupFilter

      Use IStartupFilter to configure your middleware. This is an advanced topic. This article tries at explaining IStartupFilter. I will add more samples so IStartupFilter can be clearer.

  • Show errors during startup

    Show a detailed report on exceptions that happen during the startup phase of your web app. It is very useful during development.

  • Show Connection info

    Enumerate the connection information of a HTTP request.

  • Environmental settings

    Set your application environment to Development or Production or other mode directly from code.

  • Console logging

    Setup a basic logging in your app and show it to console.

    We add the following dependencies "Microsoft.Extensions.Logging": "1.1.0" and "Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console": "1.1.0"

    We are using IApplicationBuilder Run, an extension method for adding terminal middleware.

  • Console logging - without framework log messages

    Filter out frameworking logging from your log output. Without filtering, logging can get very annoying becuase the framework produces a lot of messages.

  • Hello World with middlewares

    ASPNetCore is built on top of pipelines of functions called middleware.

    We are using IApplicationBuilder Use, an extension method for adding middleware and IApplicationBuilder Run.

  • IApplicationLifetime

    Respond to application startup and shutdown.

    We are using IApplicationLifetime that trigger events during application startup and shutdown.

  • IHostingEnvironment

    IHostingEnvironment is available at Startup constuctor and Startup.Configure. This sample shows all the properties available in this interface.

  • Application Environment

    Requires Microsoft.Extensions.PlatformAbstractions" : "1.1.0-* dependency. This sample shows how to obtain application environment information (target framework, etc).

  • Adding HTTP Response Header

    Demonstrate on how to add a response header and where is allowed place to do it.

• Request(7)

  This section shows all the different ways you capture input and examine request to your web application.

  • HTTP Verb (1)

    • Get request verb

      Detect the verb/method of the current request.

  • Headers (2)

    • Access Request Headers

      Enumerate all the available headers in a request.

    • Type Safe Access to Request Headers

      Instead of using string to access HTTP headers, use type safe object properties to access common HTTP headers.

  • Form (2)

    We take dependency on "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing" : "1.1.0-*" to enable routing facilities to make the form handling easier.

    • Form Values

      Handles the values submitted via a form.

    • Form Upload File

      Upload a single file and save it to the current directory (check out the usage of .UseContentRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()))

  • Cookies (2)

    • Cookies

      Read and write cookies.

    • Removing cookies

      Simply demonstrates on how to remove cookies.

• Routing (9)

  We take dependency on "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing" : "1.1.0-*" to enable routing facilities in your aspnetcore apps. There are several samples to illuminate this powerful library.

  • Router

    A single route handler that handles every path request.

  • Router 2

    Two route handler, one for home page (/) and the other takes the rest of the request using asterisk (*) in the url template.

  • Router 3

    We are exploring default handler - this is the entry point to create your own framework.

  • Router 4

    We are mixing optional route parameter, route parameter with default value and default handler.

  • [Router 5]

    This is still broken. I am trying to figure out how to do nested routing. Wish me luck!

  • Router 6

    We are building a template route segment by segment and parts by parts, oldskool. We are using TemplateMatcher, TemplateSegment and TemplatePart.

    Hold your mask, we are going deep.

  • Router 7

    We are creating a routing template with two segments, one with Literal part and the other Parameter part, e.g, "/page/{*title}"

  • Router 8

    We are creating a routing template with one segment consisted of two parts, one Literal and one Parameter, e.g. "/page{*title}". Note the difference between this example and Router 7.

  • Router 9

    I am still trying to determine whether TemplateMatcher uses the InlineConstraint information.

    Update: No, TemplateMatcher does not run constraints. #362

  • Router 10

    We have been building a RouteTemplate manually using TemplateSegment and TemplatePart. In this example we are using TemplateParser to build the RouteTemplate using string.

• Middleware (8)

  We will explore all aspect of middleware building in this section. There is no extra dependency taken other than Kestrel and dotnet watch.

  • Middleware 1

    This example shows how to pass information from one middleware to another using HttpContext.Items.

  • Middleware 3

    This is the simplest middleware class you can create.

  • Middleware 4

    Use app.Map (MapMiddleware) to configure your middleware pipeline to respond only on specific url path.

  • Middleware 5

    Nested app.Map (show Request.Path and Request.PathBase).

  • Middleware 6

    Use app.MapWhen(MapWhenMiddleware) and Nested app.Map (show Request.Path and Request.PathBase).

  • Middleware 7

    Use MapMiddleware and MapWhenMiddleware directly without using extensions (show Request.Path and Request.PathBase).

  • Middleware 8

    Demonstrate the various ways you can inject dependency to your middleware class manually.

  • Middleware 9

    Demonstrate how to ASP.NET Core built in DI (Dependency Injection) mechanism to provide dependency for your middleware.

• Features (7)

  Features are collection of objects you can obtain from the framework at runtime that serve different purposes.

  • Server Addresses Feature

    Use this Feature to obtain a list of urls that your app is responding to.

  • Request Feature

    Obtain details of a current request. It has some similarity to HttpContext.Request. They are not equal. HttpContext.Request has more properties.

  • Connection Feature

    Use IHttpConnectionFeature interface to obtain local ip/port and remote ip/port.

  • Custom Feature

    Create your own custom Feature and pass it along from a middleware.

  • Custom Feature - Override

    Shows how you can replace an implementation of a Feature with another within the request pipeline.

  • Request Culture Feature

    Use this feature to detect the culture of a web request through IRequestCultureFeature. It needs the following dependency "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Localization": "1.1.0".

  • Session Feature

    Use session within your middlewares. This sample shows a basic usage of in memory session. It needs the following dependency '"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Session" : "1.1.0-"and"Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory" : "1.1.0-"`.

• Dependency Injection (2)

  ASP.NET Corenetcore lives and die by DI. It relies on Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection library. There is no need to put this dependency in your project.json explicitly because aspnetcore already has this package as its own dependency.

  • Dependency Injection 1 - The basic

    Demonstrate the three lifetime registrations for the out of the box DI functionality: singleton (one and only forever), scoped (one in every request) and transient (new everytime).

  • Dependency Injection 3 - Easy registration

    Register all objects configured by classes that implements a specific interface (IBootstrap in this example). This is useful when you have large amount of classes in your project that needs registration. You can register them near where they are (usually in the same folder) instead of registering them somewhere in a giant registration function.

    Note: example 2 is forthcoming. The inspiration has not arrived yet.

• File Provider (2)

  We will deal with various types of file providers supported by ASP.NET Core

  • Physical File Provider - Content and Web roots

    Access the file information on your Web and Content roots.

  • Custom File Provider

    Implement a simple and largely nonsense file provider. It is a good starting point to implement your own proper File Provider.

• In Memory Caching (a.k.a local cache) (4)

  These samples depends on Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory library. Please add this dependency to your project.json.

  • Caching - Absolute/Sliding expiration

    This is the most basic caching you can use either by setting absolute or sliding expiration for your cache. Absolute expiration will remove your cache at a certain point in the future. Sliding expiration will remove your cache after period of inactivity.

  • Caching 2 - File dependency

    Add file dependency to your caching so when the file changes, your cache expires.

    You need to put the cache file in your project.json so it gets copied over, e.g.

    "buildOptions": { "emitEntryPoint": true, "copyToOutput": ["cache-file.txt"] }

    Note: example 1 is forthcoming. The inspiration has not arrived yet.

  • Caching 3 - Cache removal event

    Register callback when a cached value is removed.

  • Caching 4 - CancellationChangeToken dependency

    Bind several cache entries to a single dependency that you can reset manually.

• Configuration (7)

  This section is all about configuration, from memory configuration to INI, JSON and XML.

  • Configuration

    This is the 'hello world' of configuration. Just use a memory based configuration and read/write values to/from it.

  • Configuration - Options

    Use IOptions at the most basic.

  • Configuration - Environment variables

    Load environment variables and display all of them.

  • Configuration - INI file

    Read from INI file. It requires taking a new dependency, "Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.INI" : "1.1.0".

  • Configuration - INI file - Options

    Read from INI file (with nested keys) and IOptions. It requires taking two new dependencies, "Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.INI" : "1.1.0" and "Microsoft.Extensions.Options.ConfigurationExtensions" : "1.1.0".

  • Configuration - XML file

    Read from XML file. It requires taking a new dependency, "Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Xml" : "1.1.0".

    Note: This Xml Configuration provider does not support repeated element.

    The following configuration settings will break:

    <appSettings>
      <add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
      <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
    </appSettings>
    

    On the other hand you can get unlimited nested elements and also attributes.

  • Configuration - XML file - Options

    Read from XML file and use IOptions. It requires taking two new dependencies, "Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Xml" : "1.1.0" and "Microsoft.Extensions.Options.ConfigurationExtensions" : "1.1.0".

• Localization and Globalization (6)

  This section is all about languages, culture, etc.

  • Localization

    Shows the most basic use of localization using a resource file. This sample only supports French language (because we are fancy). It needs the following dependency "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Localization": "1.1.0" and "Microsoft.Extensions.Localization": "1.1.0".

  • Localization - 2

    We build upon the previous sample and demonstrate how to switch request culture via query string using the built in QueryStringRequestCultureProvider. This sample supports English and French.

  • Localization - 3

    Demonstrate the difference between Culture and UI Culture.

  • Localization - 4

    Demonstrate how to switch request culture via cookie using the built in CookieRequestCultureProvider. This sample supports English and French.

  • Localization - 5

    Demonstrate using Portable Object (PO) files to support localization instead of the cumbersome resx file. This sample requires OrchardCore.Localization.Core package. This sample requires ASPNET Core 2.

  • Localization - 6

    This is a continuation of previous sample but with context, which allows the same translation key to return different strings.

• URL Redirect/Rewriting (6)

  This section explore the dark arts of URL Rewriting

  • Rewrite

    Shows the most basic of URL rewriting which will redirect (returns HTTP 302) anything to the home page "/". It requires "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Rewrite" : "1.0.0-*" and "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing" : "1.1.0-*" dependencies. These two dependencies apply to the rest of the samples in this category.

    If you have used routing yet, I recommend of checking out the routing examples.

  • Rewrite - 2

    Redirect (returns HTTP 302) anything with an extension e.g. about-us.html or welcome.aspx to home page (/). It also shows how to capture the matched regex values.

  • Rewrite - 3

    Rewrite anything with an extension e.g. about-us.html or welcome.aspx to home page (/). It also shows how to capture the matched regex values.

  • Rewrite - 4

    Permanent Redirect (returns HTTP 301) anything with an extension e.g. about-us.html or welcome.aspx to home page (/). It also shows how to capture the matched regex values.

  • Rewrite - 5

    Implement a custom redirect logic based on IRule implementation. Require additional dependency of "Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles": "1.1.0" to serve images.

    This custom redirection logic allows us to simply specify the image file names without worrying about their exact path e.g.'xx.jpg' and 'yy.png'.

  • Rewrite - 6

    Implement a custom redirect logic using lambda (similar functionality to Rewrite - 5). Require additional dependency of "Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles": "1.1.0" to serve images.

    This custom redirection logic allows us to simply specify the image file names without worrying about their exact path e.g.'xx.jpg' and 'yy.png'.

• Compression (1)

  Enable the ability to compress ASP.NET Core responses. These samples takes a dependency of Microsoft.AspNetCore.ResponseCompression": "1.0.1.

  • Default Gzip Output Compression

    Compress everything using the default Gzip compression.

    Everything means the following MIME output

    • text/plain
    • text/css
    • application/javascript
    • text/html
    • application/xml
    • text/xml
    • application/json
    • text/json

• Diagnostics(6)

  These samples take a dependency of "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics":"1.1.1".

  • Welcome Page

    Simply show a welcome page to indicate that the app is working properly. This sample does not use a startup class simply because it's just a one line code.

  • Developer Exception Page

    Show any unhandled exception in a nicely formatted page with error details. Only use this in development environment!

  • Custom Global Exception Page

    Use IExceptionHandlerFeature feature provided by Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics.Abstractions to create custom global exception page.

  • Custom Global Exception Page - 2

    Similar to the previous one except that that we use the custom error page defined in separate path.

  • Status Pages

    Use UseStatusCodePagesWithRedirects. Beware: This extension method handles your 5xx return status code by redirecting it to a specific url. It will not handle your application exception in general (for this use UseExceptionHandler - check previous samples).

  • Middleware Analysis

    Here we go into the weeds of analysing middlewares in your request pipeline. This is a bit complicated. It requires the following packages:

    • Microsoft.AspNetCore.MiddlewareAnalysis
    • Microsoft.Extensions.DiagnosticAdapter
    • Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console

• Static Files(6)

  This additional dependency is required to enable the functionality "Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles": "1.1.0".

  • Serve static files

    Simply serve static files (html, css, images, etc).

    There are two static files being served in this project, index.html and hello.css. They are stored under wwwroot folder, which is the default folder location for this library.

    To access them you have to refer them directly e.g. localhost:5000/index.html and localhost:5000/hello.css.

  • Allow Directory Browsing

    Allow listing and browsing of your wwwroot folder.

  • Use File Server

    Combines the functionality of UseStaticFiles, UseDefaultFiles, and UseDirectoryBrowser.

  • Custom Directory Formatter

    Customize the way Directory Browsing is displayed. In this sample the custom view only handles flat directory. We will deal with more complex scenario in the next sample.

  • Custom Directory Formatter - 2

    Show custom Directory Browsing and handle directory listing as well as files.

  • Allow Directory Browsing

    Use Directory Browsing on a certain path using DirectoryBrowserOptions.RequestPath, e.g. /browse.

• Web Sockets (5)

  We are going to explore websocket functionality provided by ASP.NET Core. All the samples here require Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebSockets.

  Warning: These samples are low level websocket code. For production, use SignalR. Yes I will work on SignalR samples soon.

  • Echo Server

    This is the simplest web socket code you can write. It simply returns what you sent. It does not handle the closing of the connection. It does not handle data that is larger than buffer. It only handles text payload.

  • Echo Server 2

    We improve upon the previous sample by adding console logging (requiring Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console package) and handling data larger than the buffer. I set the buffer to be very small (4 bytes) so you can see how it works.

  • Echo Server 3

    We improve upon the previous sample by enabling broadcast. What you see here is a very crude chat functionality.

  • Echo Server 4

    We improve upon the previous sample by handling closing event intiated by the web client.

  • Chat Server

    Implement a rudimentary single channel chat server.

• Server Side Events (1)

  • Forever Server

    This server will send a 'hello world' greeting forever.

• Syndications (2)

  We are using the brand new Microsoft.SyndicationFeed.ReaderWriter package to read RSS and ATOM feeds.

  • Syndication - Read RSS

    This is the shortest amount of code to read an RSS feed. This example read the feed from the inventor of RSS, Dave Winer at http://scripting.com/rss.xml.

  • Syndication - Read RSS with extensions

    This sample process RSS Outline Extension.

• Misc (3)

  • Markdown server

    Serve markdown file as html file. You will see how you can create useful app using a few basic facilities in aspnetcore.

    We take "CommonMark.Net" : "0.13.4" as dependency.

  • Markdown server - implemented as middleware component

    Serve markdown file as html file. It has the same exact functionality as Markdown server but implemented using middleware component.

    We take "CommonMark.Net" : "0.13.4" as dependency.

    Check out the documentation on how to write your own middleware.

  • Password Hasher server

    Give it a string and it will generate a secure hash for you, e.g. localhost:5000?password=mypassword.

    We add dependency "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity": "1.1.0-*" to enable this functionality.

ASP.NET Core 2.0 Samples

• Trimming (1)

  This section shows the various way on how to trim the size of your application by using Microsoft.Packagin.Tools.Trimming

  • Trimming Microsoft.AspNetCore.All hello world application

    Run dotnet publish or dotnet build and read the output in your terminal. It will read something similar to Trimmed 128 out of 180 files for a savings of 20.8 MB Final app size is 3.2 MB. You can turn off the trimming by setting <TrimUnusedDependencies>true</TrimUnusedDependencies> to false at the project file.

• Modules (1)

  This section shows how to create pluggable and extensible web system using Orchardcore Modules system.

  • Modular Hello World

    Run dotnet watch run at the web folder. This example shows a module that just writes "hello world".

    The module1 project requires OrchardCore.Module.Targets and the host web project requires OrchardCore.Application.Targets and OrchardCore.Modules.

• Middleware (1)

  • Response Buffering

    Use Microsoft.AspNetCore.Buffering 0.2.2 middleware to implement response buffering facility. This will allow you to change your response after you write them.

• Device Detection (1)

  The samples in this section rely on Wangkanai.Detection library.

  • Device Detection

    This is the most basic device detection. You will be able to detect whether the client is a desktop or a mobile client.

• Owin (1)

  All these samples require Microsoft.AspNetCore.Owin package. These are low level samples and in most cases are not relevant to your day to day ASP.NET Core development.

  • Owin
