# ![RealWorld Example App](logo.png)

> ### A functionally written ASP.NET Core codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the [RealWorld](https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld) spec and API.

### [RealWorld Repo](https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld)

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged backend application built with **ASP.NET Core** and **[Optional](https://github.com/nlkl/Optional)**. It includes CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

It completely adheres to the **ASP.NET Core** community styleguides & best practices.

For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the [RealWorld](https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld) repo.

# Features

What's special about this specific implementation is that it employs a different approach on error handling and propagation. It uses the **Maybe** and **Either** monads to enable very explicit function declarations and allow us to abstract the conditionals and validations into the type itself.

This allows you to do cool stuff like:

```csharp
public Task> LoginAsync(CredentialsModel model) =>
GetUser(u => u.Email == model.Email)
.FilterAsync(user => UserManager.CheckPasswordAsync(user, model.Password), "Invalid credentials.")
.MapAsync(async user =>
{
var result = Mapper.Map(user);

result.Token = GenerateToken(user.Id, user.Email);

return result;
});
```

You can read more about **Maybe** and **Either** [here](https://devadventures.net/2018/04/17/forget-object-reference-not-set-to-an-instance-of-an-object-functional-adventures-in-c/) and [here](https://devadventures.net/2018/09/20/real-life-examples-of-functional-c-sharp-either/).

# Architecture

This application has been made using the [Dev Adventures .NET Core template](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dnikolovv.dev-adventures-project-setup), therefore it follows the architecture of and has all of the features that the template provides.

- [x] Swagger UI + Fully Documented Controllers

![swagger-ui](./img/swagger-ui.JPG)

- [x] Thin Controllers

```csharp
///
/// Retreives a user's profile by username.
///
/// The username to look for.
/// A user profile or not found.
/// Returns the user's profile.
/// No user with tha given username was found.
[HttpGet("{username}")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(UserProfileModel), StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(Error), StatusCodes.Status400BadRequest)]
public async Task Get(string username) =>
(await _profilesService.ViewProfileAsync(CurrentUserId.SomeNotNull(), username))
.Match(profile => Ok(new { profile }), Error);
```

- [x] Robust service layer using the [Either](https://devadventures.net/2018/09/20/real-life-examples-of-functional-c-sharp-either/) monad.

```csharp
public interface IProfilesService
{
Task> FollowAsync(string followerId, string userToFollowUsername);

Task> UnfollowAsync(string followerId, string userToUnfollowUsername);

Task> ViewProfileAsync(Option viewingUserId, string profileUsername);
}
```

```csharp
public Task> FollowAsync(string followerId, string userToFollowUsername) =>
GetUserByIdOrError(followerId).FlatMapAsync(user =>
GetUserByNameOrError(userToFollowUsername)
.FilterAsync(async u => u.Id != followerId, "A user cannot follow himself.")
.FilterAsync(async u => user.Following.All(fu => fu.FollowingId != u.Id), "You are already following this user")
.FlatMapAsync(async userToFollow =>
{
DbContext.FollowedUsers.Add(new FollowedUser
{
FollowerId = followerId,
FollowingId = userToFollow.Id
});

await DbContext.SaveChangesAsync();

return await ViewProfileAsync(followerId.Some(), userToFollow.UserName);
}));
```

- [x] Safe query string parameter model binding using the [Option](https://github.com/nlkl/Optional) monad.

```csharp
public class GetArticlesModel
{
public Option Tag { get; set; }

public Option Author { get; set; }

public Option Favorited { get; set; }

public int Limit { get; set; } = 20;

public int Offset { get; set; } = 0;
}
```

- [x] AutoMapper
- [x] EntityFramework Core with ~~SQL Server~~ Postgres and ASP.NET Identity
- [x] JWT authentication/authorization
- [x] File logging with Serilog
- [x] Stylecop
- [x] Neat folder structure

- [x] Global Model Errors Handler

```json
{
"messages": [
"The Email field is not a valid email.",
"The LastName field is required.",
"The FirstName field is required."
]
}
```

- [x] Global Environment-Dependent Exception Handler

"Message": null,
"Data": null,
"InnerException": null,

"StackTraceString": "...",

// Production

"An unexpected internal server error has occurred."
]
}
```

- [x] Neatly organized solution structure

### Test Suite
- [x] xUnit
- [x] Autofixture
- [x] Moq
- [x] Shouldly
- [x] Arrange Act Assert Pattern

```csharp
[Theory]
[AutoData]
public async Task Login_Should_Return_Exception_When_Credentials_Are_Invalid(CredentialsModel model, User expectedUser)
{
// Arrange
AddUserWithEmail(model.Email, expectedUser);

MockCheckPassword(model.Password, false);

// Act
var result = await _usersService.LoginAsync(model);

// Assert
result.HasValue.ShouldBeFalse();
result.MatchNone(error => error.Messages?.Count.ShouldBeGreaterThan(0));
}
```

# Getting started

1. Set the connection string in `src/server/Conduit.Api/appsettings.json` to a running Postgres instance. Set the database name to an unexisting one.
2. Execute `dotnet restore`
3. Execute `dotnet build`
4. Execute `dotnet ef database update`
5. Execute `dotnet run`
