aurelia-webapi-example

This project is a full-stack example application showcasing an Aurelia frontend integrated with an ASP.NET 5 Web API backend. It serves as a practical reference for developers building modern web applications with these technologies, illustrating client-server communication, build processes, and database management.

Key Features

• Aurelia Frontend — Client-side application written in ES6 using the Aurelia framework.
• ASP.NET 5 Web API — Server-side RESTful API built with C# and ASP.NET 5.
• Gulp Build System — Automated build tasks for both client and server code.
• Entity Framework Code First — Database modeling and migrations with SQLite (production) and in-memory (development) databases.
• User Secrets Management — Secure configuration handling for sensitive data like API keys.
• Structured Testing — Includes unit and end-to-end tests for both client (Aurelia) and server (ASP.NET) components.

Philosophy

The project emphasizes a clean separation between client and server concerns while providing a cohesive development experience, using modern tooling and best practices for full-stack .NET and JavaScript development.
