Run Locally

Prerequisites: Node.js compatible with Angular 14, .NET 5 SDK, and SQL Server.

1. Create the Ecommerce database and apply the SQL scripts in EcomDB Scripts/. The included users are fictional development fixtures only.

2. Configure the API connection string in ProductWebAPI/ProductWebAPI/appsettings.json for your local SQL Server instance.

3. Set a local JWT signing key outside Git before starting the API:

   export Jwt__SigningKey='replace-with-a-long-random-local-value'

4. Start the API and frontend in separate terminals:

   dotnet run --project ProductWebAPI/ProductWebAPI/ProductWebAPI.csproj

   cd Frontend
   npm ci
   npm start

The frontend calls the API at http://localhost:33037/. Adjust the frontend service base URLs if your local API runs on another address.

Development Notes

• .NET 5 is end-of-support, so framework upgrades should be handled as a separate tested task.
• The current authentication and authorization model is prototype-only. Do not deploy it or use real credentials.
• No license has been selected. Do not assume permission to copy, modify, or redistribute this project.
