It also allows the user to add flavors to a treat and/or treats to a particular flavor.

Setup and Use

Prerequisites

• .NET 5 SDK
• A text editor like VS Code
• A browser like Chrome or Firefox
• MySQL Workbench

Installation

1. Clone the repository: $ git clone https://github.com/tprussell19/SweetAndSavory.Solution
2. Navigate to the SweetAndSavory.Solution/ directory on your computer
3. Open with your preferred text editor to view the code base
4. Create a database using SQL via Entity:
   • Navigate to SweetAndSavory.Solution/SweetAndSavory in your command line
   • Create a file named appsettings.json and paste the following code:

     {
        "ConnectionStrings": {
        "DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost;Port=3306;database=thomas_russell;uid=root;pwd=[YOUR-PASSWORD-GOES-HERE];"
        }
     }
     

     Note: Be sure to change [YOUR-PASSWORD-GOES-HERE] to your actual MySQL password.
   • Run the command dotnet ef migrations add Initial. (If this command throws an error, you might have to run the command dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef first.)
   • Once the migration has been added, run the command dotnet ef database update to setup your database.
5. To run the app:
   • Navigate to SweetAndSavory.Solution/SweetAndSavory in your command line
   • Run the command dotnet restore to restore the dependencies that are listed in the .csproj
   • Run the commmand dotnet build to build the project and its dependencies into a set of binaries
   • Finally, run the command dotnet run to run the project!
   • Note: dotnet run also restores and builds the project, so you can use this single command to start the app and launch
   • If the application does not automatically launch in your browser, you will need to open a browser window and navigate to "localhost:5000"
