Useful Scripts

All of the below scripts can be executed in the terminal of your choice (PowerShell/Cmd on windows, Terminal on mac). They must be executed from the "Source" folder, where the .Net Core project/node package files are located.

Front-end:

• npm install - installs any missing npm dependencies. When in doubt, run this before any other front-end commands. If you get any errors with the other below commands, try running this first as well.

• npm run dev - compiles vue components into wwwroot/dist/app.css and wwroot/dist/app.js files in development mode - non minified and more error information avaialble.

• npm run build - compiles vue components into same files as above but in production mode - minified and with less error info available

• npm run watch - compiles vue components into same files as above in watch mode - whenever changes are made to the vue components and saved, files get recompiled.

Back-end:

• dotnet run - runs the backend ASP.Net Core app. This is handiest to use when you're working in VS Code on a mac. Running this will give you a url to browse to to view the running app.

• dotnet ef migrations add "MigrationName" - creates a new entity framework code first migration

• dotnet ef database update - applies any unapplied migrations to the database

• dotnet ef migrations remove - removes the most recent migration, as long as it has not been appleid to the database
