Debugging and development

For debugging and development purposes you will need to run you applications locally.

Run the Function

To run the function locally install azure-functions-core-tools by following the instructions [1].

Navigate to the api or function root directory:

cd src/Microservices/Books/Api/BookStore.Books.Api

Then run the command:

func host start --verbose

Console showing that the worker was started and initialized successfully

Run the UI angular web app

To run the angular web application locally use visual studio or dotnet cli.

To use dotnet cli you should have the dotnet cli installed on your machine.

From the root directory of the project navigate to the UI Web directory:

cd src/Presentation/UI/BookStore.UI.Web

And then run the command:

dotnet run

What's next / Outstanding

• Dockerize, make the application scalable using kubernetes and deploy to Azure AKS
• Add centralized caching (redis cache) and or inmemory caching inorder to improve book search efficiency.
• Add exception handling in the worker / azure function
• The book card component must display more details e.g. publish name, author name and etc.
