Please help with brief steps to get ASP.Net Core breeze server up

[bancroftway]

It would be extremely helpful to get a list of steps to get an ASP.Net Core Breeze server up, even if a full sample is a bit further away.

BTW, this maybe just me, but sometimes a series of step-by-step instructions are far more instructive than code samples...I found Brian Noyes' Pluralsight video far more helpful than the temphire sample.

Hi @bancroftway , I created a sample project here . This includes the basic setup you're looking for.

These are the steps I took to get things working:

• create a new ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Framework - Select the Web API project template)
• add a Class Library project (.NET Framework) to the solution for the Entity Framework
• add Entity Framework to both projects in the solution
• add your context and model classes
• add a ContextFactory class to the EF project (check this

Then in the web application project:

• add a reference to the Data project

• install these nuget packages: see this
  Breeze.Server.Core
  Breeze.Server.Persistence
  Breeze.Server.Persistence.EF6
  Breeze.Server.AspNetCore.NetFramework
  Breeze.Composite.AspNetCore.EF6

• modify the services configuration in Startup.cs:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // Add framework services.
    var mvcBuilder = services.AddMvc();

    mvcBuilder.AddJsonOptions(opt => {
        var ss = JsonSerializationFns.UpdateWithDefaults(opt.SerializerSettings);
        var resolver = ss.ContractResolver;
        if (resolver != null)
        {
            var res = resolver as DefaultContractResolver;
            res.NamingStrategy = null;  // <<!-- this removes the camelcasing
        }

    });

    mvcBuilder.AddMvcOptions(o => { o.Filters.Add(new GlobalExceptionFilter()); });


    services.AddScoped<SchoolContext>(_ => new SchoolContext(Configuration.GetConnectionString("SchoolContext")));
}

• add a connectionstring the the appsettings.json
• add a breezeController:

[Route("breeze/[controller]/[action]")]
[BreezeQueryFilter]
public class SchoolModelController : Controller
{
    private SchoolPersistenceManager PersistenceManager;

    // called via DI 
    public SchoolModelController(SchoolContext context)
    {
        PersistenceManager = new SchoolPersistenceManager(context);
    }

    [HttpGet]
    public IActionResult Metadata()
    {
        return Ok(PersistenceManager.Metadata());
    }
    [HttpPost]
    public SaveResult SaveChanges([FromBody] JObject saveBundle)
    {
        return PersistenceManager.SaveChanges(saveBundle);
    }

    [HttpGet]
    public IQueryable<Student> Students()
    {
        return PersistenceManager.Context.Students.Include("Enrollments");
    }
}

internal class SchoolPersistenceManager : EFPersistenceManager<SchoolContext>
{
    public SchoolPersistenceManager(SchoolContext context) : base(context) { }

    // additional stuff goes here. Checkout the NorthwindIBModelController of the Breeze.AspNetCore.InternalTest.sln in the breeze.server.net repo
    // https://github.com/Breeze/breeze.server.net/blob/master/Tests/Test.AspNetCore/Controllers/NorthwindIBModelController.cs
}

Good luck!

Nope! Not working with ASP.NET Core 2.0. Libraries on nuget are build using .net 4.6.1 and therefore incomplatible...

[jasoncowan]

+1 for ASP.NET Core + EF Core 2.0. Could you pls advise if compatibility with these is on your roadmap?

[jtraband]

We are definitely planning on working on this starting in the next few weeks. Will advise of progress and expected timeframe once we start.

[ahedreville]

Hi there is any progress on this ?😊

[jtraband]

I'm a just finishing this up now. Should be putting it up on Nuget within a few days - but the current version ( in test) is already checked into GitHub under breeze.server.net/aspnetcore folder. ( support for both EFCore and EF6 is provided) and an example of sample servers can be found in breeze.server.net/tests/( Test.AspNetCore.EFCore and Test.AspNetCore.EF6).

I have all of this working in dotnet core 2.0.....ef core + webapi core + breeze aspnetcore + dotnet-cli + ef-cli

My persistence layer is SQL Server 2017 running in a Linux Docker container. See ya Windows........

Anybody got a Breeze client app working with this .net core backend? https://github.com/mikemichaelis/dnc

I would love to see the client code

[breynolds]

Is this still open because the breezejs official repo does not yet support dotnet core 2.x? Would be great to have official support. Breeze is a great help for building our applications! @mikemichaelis, we'll still use your dnc repo if we need to.

[jtraband]

Just updated both Asp.net and AspNetCore nugets. For ASP.NET Core with EF Core use the latest versions of Breeze.Core, Breeze.Persistence, Breeze.Persistence.EFCore and Breeze.AspNetCore.NetCore

[gmareater]

if you know how muuuuuchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i just waited for this message , hope it works with no bug,
i dont know about others, but i almost forget who to work without breeze, it's one of the must have,
so please do not give up on it
