SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers understand and work with the complex structure of the ASP.NET Core backend, enabling efficient development and maintenance of its various components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Layering: Understand the separation of concerns between Core, Insulation, Web, and Job projects.
  • Service & Repository Patterns: Learn how domain logic, data access, and validation are implemented.
  • API Development: Grasp controller patterns, authorization, and error handling with ProblemDetails.
  • Configuration & Service Discovery: Understand how the application is configured and how services find each other.
  • Use Case: When adding a new feature that requires a new API endpoint and database interaction, this Skill provides the blueprint for where to place the controller, repository, and validation logic.

Quick Start

Run the Exceptionless.AppHost project from your IDE to start the backend services.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a new API endpoint and database interaction in ASP.NET Core?

To structure a new API endpoint in ASP.NET Core, place your controller in the Web project, implement data access using the repository pattern, and enforce validation rules within the service layer to maintain separation of concerns.

What is the recommended project layering for an ASP.NET Core backend architecture?

A recommended ASP.NET Core backend architecture separates concerns across Core, Insulation, Web, and Job projects to isolate domain logic, manage dependencies, and streamline the deployment of background tasks.

How does error handling work with ProblemDetails in ASP.NET Core?

Error handling with ProblemDetails in ASP.NET Core standardizes API failure responses by returning consistent HTTP status codes and machine-readable error details directly from your controllers.

How do I implement authorization policies and validation strategies in ASP.NET Core?

Implement authorization policies in ASP.NET Core by defining policy requirements in your startup configuration, and apply validation strategies within your service layer to validate domain logic before data persistence.

Does this ASP.NET Core backend architecture support custom WebSocket hubs?

Yes, this ASP.NET Core backend architecture supports custom WebSocket hubs, enabling real-time communication alongside standard controller patterns and service discovery mechanisms.

What are the limitations of using repository and service patterns in ASP.NET Core?

Using repository and service patterns in ASP.NET Core introduces additional layers and abstraction overhead, requiring strict dependency direction management to prevent circular dependencies and maintain code navigability.
