TicketTest

Reference ticket management application built with ASP.NET Core, Angular, Entity Framework Core, and Azure SQL.

Prerequisites

Install:

• .NET 8 SDK
• Node.js 22+
• Angular CLI
• Access to the development Azure SQL database, or configure an appropriate local SQL Server database

Run the API

From the repository root:

cd TicketTest.Api

Configure the database connection string using .NET User Secrets:

dotnet user-secrets set "ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection" "<connection-string>"

Apply any outstanding EF Core migrations:

dotnet ef database update

Start the API:

dotnet run

The API URL is displayed in the console when the application starts. Swagger is available at:

https://localhost:<port>/swagger

Run the Angular Client

Open another terminal:

cd TicketTest.Client
npm install
npm start

Browse to:

http://localhost:4200

The development Angular environment is configured to call the locally running API.

Run Tests

From the repository root:

dotnet test

Integration tests use an isolated in-memory SQLite database and do not modify the Azure SQL database.

The hosted application uses:

• Azure Static Web Apps --- Angular client
• Azure App Service --- ASP.NET Core API
