});
21:1728
21:1729
Also, add app.UseCors(); in the ASP.NET Core pipeline, immediately before app.UseAuthorization(); .
21:1730
Now, we must enable the Blazor application to communicate with this server. Launch the solution again and take note of the REST API URL (in my case, https://localhost:7269/), and then replace the URL in the HttpClient configuration in the Program.cs file of the Blazor application with this URL:
21:1731
builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient {
21:1732
BaseAddress = new Uri(`https://localhost:7269/`)});
21:1733
21:1734
Let’s also copy the same connection string of the old web project into the PackagesManagementBlazor.Server appsettings.json file:
21:1735
`ConnectionStrings`: {
21:1736
`DefaultConnection`: `Server=(localdb)mssqllocaldb;Database=package-management;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true`
21:1737
},
21:1738
21:1739
This way, we can reuse the database we have created. We also need to add the same DDD tools we added to the old web project. Add a folder named Tools in the project root and copy the contents of the ch07 -> ApplicationLayer folder of the GitHub repository associated with the book there.
21:1740
In order to finish the solution setup, we just need to connect PackagesManagementBlazor.Server with the domain layer by adding the following code at the end of the services configuration code in the Program.cs file:
21:1741
builder.services.AddDbLayer(Configuration
21:1742
.GetConnectionString(`DefaultConnection`),
21:1743
`PackagesManagementDB`);
21:1744
21:1745
It is the same method we added to the old web project. Finally, we can also add the AddAllQueries extension method, which discovers all queries in the web project:
21:1746
builder.services.AddAllQueries(this.GetType().Assembly);
21:1747
21:1748
We don’t need other automatic discovery tools since this is a query-only application.
21:1749
Due to a bug in Entity Framework Core 8, you also need to change a setting in the server project that prevents the usage of .NET culture. You must change the InvariantGlobalization project setting to false:
21:1750
<InvariantGlobalization>false</InvariantGlobalization>
21:1751
21:1752
At this point, we have the project completely configured. We just need to implement server-side code and client-side code that implements our package search.
21:1753
The next subsection explains how to design the server-side REST API.
21:1754
Implementing the required ASP.NET Core REST APIs
21:1755
As the first step, let’s define the ViewModels used in the communication between the server and the client applications. They must be defined in the PackagesManagementBlazor.Shared project that is referenced by both applications.
21:1756
Let’s start with the PackageInfosViewModel ViewModel, which will be the data structure used by the Blazor application to exchange package info with the server-side REST API:
21:1757
using System;
21:1758
namespace PackagesManagementBlazor.Shared
21:1759
{
21:1760
public class PackageInfosViewModel
21:1761
{
21:1762
public int Id { get; set; }
21:1763
public required string Name { get; set; }
21:1764
public decimal Price { get; set; }
21:1765
public int DurationInDays { get; set; }
21:1766
public DateTime? StartValidityDate { get; set; }
21:1767
public DateTime? EndValidityDate { get; set; }
21:1768
public required string DestinationName { get; set; }
21:1769
public int DestinationId { get; set; }
21:1770
public override string ToString()
21:1771
{
21:1772
return $`{Name}. {DurationInDays} days in {DestinationName}, price: {Price}`;
21:1773
}
21:1774
}
21:1775
}
21:1776
21:1777
Then, add the ViewModel that encloses all packages to return to the Blazor application:
21:1778
using System.Collections.Generic;
21:1779
namespace PackagesManagementBlazor.Shared
21:1780
{
21:1781
public class PackagesListViewModel
21:1782
{
21:1783
Public required ReadOnlyCollection<PackageInfosViewModel>
21:1784
Items { get; set; }
21:1785
}
21:1786
}
21:1787
21:1788
Now, we can also add our query that searches packages by location. Let’s add a Queries folder in the root of the PackagesManagementBlazor.Server project and then add the interface that defines our query, IPackagesListByLocationQuery:
21:1789
using DDD.ApplicationLayer;
21:1790
using PackagesManagementBlazor.Shared;
21:1791
using System.Collections.Generic;
21:1792
using System.Threading.Tasks;
21:1793
namespace PackagesManagementBlazor.Server.Queries
21:1794
{
21:1795
public interface IPackagesListByLocationQuery: IQuery
21:1796
{
21:1797
Task<ReadOnlyCollection<PackageInfosViewModel>>
21:1798
GetPackagesOf(string location);
21:1799
}
21:1800
}
21:1801
21:1802
Finally, let’s also add the query implementation:
21:1803
public class PackagesListByLocationQuery(MainDbContext ctx):IPackagesListByLocationQuery
21:1804
{
21:1805
21:1806
public async Task<ReadOnlyCollection<PackageInfosViewModel>>
21:1807
GetPackagesOfAsync(string location)
21:1808
{
21:1809
Return new ReadOnlyCollection<PackageInfosViewModel>
21:1811
.Where(m => m.MyDestination.Name.StartsWith(location))
21:1812
.Select(m => new PackageInfosViewModel
21:1813
{
21:1814
StartValidityDate = m.StartValidityDate,
21:1815
EndValidityDate = m.EndValidityDate,
21:1816
Name = m.Name,
21:1817
DurationInDays = m.DurationInDays,
21:1818
Id = m.Id,
21:1819
Price = m.Price,
21:1820
DestinationName = m.MyDestination.Name,
21:1821
DestinationId = m.DestinationId
21:1822
})
21:1823
.OrderByDescending(m=> m.EndValidityDate)
21:1824
.ToListAsync());
21:1825
}
21:1826
}
21:1827
