## 🎉 Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started/) / [Podman](https://podman.io/get-started) / [OrbStack](https://orbstack.dev/)
- [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/10.0)
- [Aspire CLI](https://aspire.dev/get-started/install-cli/)
- `dotnet-ef`, restored from the solution's tool manifest:
  ```bash
  dotnet tool restore
  ```
  The AppHost's `migrations` resource shells out to `dotnet ef database update` on every start,
  so the app won't boot without it. `.config/dotnet-tools.json` pins the version that matches the
  solution's EF Core packages — a mismatched global `dotnet-ef` will not do.

### Installing the Template

1. Install the SSW VSA template
   ```bash
   dotnet new install SSW.VerticalSliceArchitecture.Template
   ```

> [!NOTE] 
> The template only needs to be installed once. Running this command again will update your version of the template.

2. Create a new directory
   ```bash
   mkdir Sprout
   cd Sprout
   ```

3. Create a new solution
   ```bash
   dotnet new ssw-vsa
   ```

> [!NOTE]
> `name` is optional; if you don't specify it, the directory name will be used as the solution name and project namespaces.

Alternatively, you can specify the `name` and `output` directory as follows:

```bash
dotnet new ssw-vsa --name {{SolutionName}}
```

### Running the Solution

1. Restore the local tools (first run only)
   ```bash
   dotnet tool restore
   ```

2. Run the solution
   ```bash
   aspire start
   ```

> [!NOTE]
> The first time you run the solution, it may take a while to download the docker images, create the DB, and seed the data.

2. Open https://localhost:7255/swagger in your browser to see it running ️🏃‍♂️

## Adding Features

### Adding a Feature Slice

A full Vertical Slice is a set of files across the domain, persistence, and feature layers:

- A domain object in `src/WebApi/Common/Domain/*`
- Domain configuration in `src/WebApi/Common/Persistence/*`
- Command & Query API endpoints in `src/WebApi/Features/*`

The template ships skills that scaffold all of this for you. In Claude Code:

```
/add-entity   # domain object, strongly typed ID, spec, EF config, DbSet, Vogen registration, migration
/add-slice    # one use case — endpoint, request, response, validator, summary — plus tests
```

Run `/add-entity` first when the use case needs a domain type that doesn't exist yet, then `/add-slice`. The skills live in `.claude/skills/`, and the conventions they follow are documented in [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) and `.claude/rules/`. Using a different agent? Point it at `.claude/skills/add-slice/SKILL.md` — they're plain markdown.

`/add-slice` adds a *slice* — one use case in its own folder. It creates the Feature and its route Group as well, but only when the slice is the first one in that Feature. [`CONTEXT.md`](CONTEXT.md) defines both terms.

To do it by hand instead, copy an existing feature such as `Heroes` and rename it. Two steps are easy to miss:

1. Register the strongly typed ID
   This project uses [strongly typed IDs](https://www.ssw.com.au/rules/do-you-use-strongly-typed-ids/), which require registration in the `VogenEfCoreConverters` class. Miss this and the app throws on startup — it isn't a compile error:
   ```csharp
   // Register the newly created Entity ID here
   [EfCoreConverter<PersonId>]
   internal sealed partial class VogenEfCoreConverters;
   ```

2. Add a migration for the new Entity
   ```bash
   dotnet ef migrations add AddPerson --project src/WebApi/WebApi.csproj --startup-project src/WebApi/WebApi.csproj --output-dir Common/Persistence/Migrations
   ```

### EF Migrations

Migrations are their own Aspire resource. The AppHost declares it with
`AddEFMigrations("migrations")`, and `RunDatabaseUpdateOnStart()` runs
`dotnet ef database update` before the API starts. Both the migrations and the `ApplicationDbContext`
live in `src/WebApi`, so every command below targets that one project.

#### Adding a Migration

```bash
dotnet ef migrations add YourMigrationName --project src/WebApi/WebApi.csproj --startup-project src/WebApi/WebApi.csproj --output-dir Common/Persistence/Migrations
```

Nothing needs to be running for this — no database, no AppHost. Scaffolding a migration only
needs the model.

#### Applying a Migration

Locally, .NET Aspire handles this for you — just start the project. The `migrations` resource
runs to completion, then the `seeder` and `api` resources start. Watch its progress in the
Aspire Dashboard like any other resource.

On Azure this is a deployment step rather than something the app does to itself — see
[Deploying to Azure](#deploying-to-azure).

#### Removing a Migration

```bash
dotnet ef migrations remove --project src/WebApi/WebApi.csproj --startup-project src/WebApi/WebApi.csproj --force
```

`--force` is always required here, and not because anything needs to be running. Aspire injects
the connection string into the `migrations` and `api` resources at runtime, so a `dotnet ef` you
run yourself never gets one. EF can't reach the database to check whether the migration has been
applied, and refuses to guess — without `--force` it stops at
`The ConnectionString property has not been initialized`.

`--force` skips that check, so mind what the check was for. If you've started the app since
adding the migration, the `migrations` resource has already applied it, and deleting the files
leaves the database ahead of the model. Recover by dropping the local database — the **Drop
Database** command on the `AppDb` resource, from the dashboard or via
`aspire resource AppDb drop-database` — or by rolling forward with a new migration that undoes
the change. Rolling forward is the safer habit once a migration has left your machine.

## Deploying to Azure

The template can be deployed to Azure via
the [Azure Developer CLI (AZD)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/install-azd?tabs=winget-windows,brew-mac,script-linux&pivots=os-mac).
This will setup the following:

- Azure App Service: API
- Azure SQL Server + Database: Data storage
- Application Insights + Log Analytics: For monitoring and logging
- Managed Identities: For secure access to Azure resources
- Azure Container Registry: For storing Docker images

The `seeder` resource is deliberately absent. It's only added to the graph in run mode, so it
never reaches Azure and Bogus data can't land in a deployed database.

### Steps to Deploy

1. Authenticate with Azure

```bash
    azd auth login
    ```

2. Initialize AZD for the project

```bash
    azd init
    ```

3. Deploy to Azure

```bash
    azd up
    ```

> [!NOTE]
> `azd up` combines `azd provision` and `azd deploy` commands to create the resources and deploy the application. If running this from a CI/CD
> pipeline, you can use `azd provision` and `azd deploy` separately in the appropriate places.

### Applying Migrations on Azure

**`azd up` does not apply migrations.** `PublishAsMigrationBundle()` writes an artifact; it
doesn't run one. Applying it is a step you own.

Publishing produces a self-contained [EF Core migration bundle](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/managing-schemas/migrations/applying#bundles)
at `efmigrations/migrations` in the output directory. Run it against the target database as a
deployment step, after `azd provision` and before (or alongside) `azd deploy`:

```bash
aspire publish --output-path ./publish
./publish/efmigrations/migrations --connection "<target-connection-string>"
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The bundle is a native executable built for the platform that published it. Publishing on a
> macOS or Windows dev box produces a binary that will not run on a Linux CI agent. Generate it
> on a runner matching wherever you intend to execute it.

Two alternatives, depending on how your organisation prefers to ship schema changes:

- `PublishAsMigrationScript()` in place of `PublishAsMigrationBundle()` emits an idempotent
  `.sql` script instead of a binary. It has no platform problem and it's reviewable before it
  runs, which many DBA-gated environments require.
- `PublishAsAzureContainerAppJob()` is the one option that applies migrations automatically on
  deploy, but it needs Azure Container Apps. This template targets App Service, so it isn't
  wired up here.
