Sample web app for ASP.NET MVC 5, EF 6 Code First, AutoMapper, Autofac and TDD

SocialGoal v1.0.0

SocialGoal is a social networking web app for socializing your goals and strategies with people. The primary objective of the SocialGoal app is to provide a learning app for building real-world web apps with ASP.NET MVC 5 and EF 6 Code First. The application architecture is inspired from EFMVC. SocialGoal is developed by Marlabs.

Technologies

• ASP.NET MVC 5
• EF 6 Code First
• AutoMapper
• Autofac
• Twitter Bootstrap
• NUnit
• Moq

Patterns & Practices

• Domain Driven Design (DDD)
• Test-Driven Development (TDD)
• Repository Pattern & Generic Repository
• Unit of Work
• Dependency Injection

Running the Application

1. Open the solution in Visual Studio 2013. Build the solution to install Nuget packages.(This will automatically restore Nuget packages. Please ensure you have Nuget version 2.7 or higher)
2. Open the web.config and change the connecting string "SocialGoalEntities" for working with your system.
3. Run the application and register a new User. (Please note that currently the applictaion does not provided any pre-defined user. Earlier there was a pre-defined user named "Admin")

Please note that we have tested the app in Chrome browser. We have observed that a JavaScript Chart compoment is having browser compatibility issues with some versions of IE.

Goals and Roadmap

Overall Project Goals

• Web app for Social Networking for soclialize your goals and strategies.
• A reference web app for ASP.NET MVC 5 and EF 6 Code First.
• Improve developer productivity for building web apps on the Microsoft Web stack.
• Reference app for building Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Domain-Driven Design (DDD).
• Mobilize an existing app for solving the mobility challenges.

Roadmap Targets

• Build a full-fledged social networking app with enhanced UI and new features.
• Mobilize the existing app
• Provide an API for Mobility, by using ASP.NET Web API 2.
• Build cross platform, minimalist mobile apps by using HTML5/JavaScript platform.
• Build Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS) solution on the Windows Azure for the mobile apps.

socialgoal's Issues

Is this DDD?

AFAIK DDD should be divided into bounded context and using events on its entities. Also you're having anemic models which is emphasize in DDD.

Java Issues

Hi guys,

I have just downloaded application and tried to register a user and login. When I do this I get alot of java issues

Admin Login Issue

I have just downloaded the project and the Admin username and password does not work. the password I have is 123456

Unit Tests Incorrect

I'm not 100% if I am correct in this, but I believe some of the UnitTests are producing false positive results.

When CreateAsync() is called in the AccountController, it reaches into TestUserStore.FindAsync() and it always finds the user, so creation fails. Changing this to something like:

    public Task<ApplicationUser> FindByNameAsync(string userName)
    {
        foreach (ApplicationUser user in _users.Values)
        {
            if (user.UserName == userName)
                return Task.FromResult(user);
        }
        return Task.FromResult<ApplicationUser>(null);
    }

Will produce different results. The test LoginTest() succeeds because no user is created, and because user is null, RedirectToLocal is not called. UrlHelper is null in RedirectToLocal when using the above FindByNameAsync method.

Md5EncryptPassword?

https://github.com/MarlabsInc/SocialGoal/blob/master/source/SocialGoal.Core/Common/Md5Encrypt.cs#L8-13

Seeing this code in place, i guess security is of no concern. And indeed, it is not explicitly listed as a goal of this project. But, md5(pass). Really? Might as well store the passwords as plain text...

Admin Dashboard

Appears to be missing controller/index, or index is corrupted, doesn't appear in your source tree, but does appear in the solution once downloaded and unzipped

project dead or futures roadmap ?

How to construct the database needed in this project?

while using correct connectionString, i cannnot build the correct database, tables etc...

SocialGoal.Data Repository How testing

Connect to two databases

How I will connect to two databases in SocialGoal Infrastructure??

Why is DataContext implemented as a singleton in RepositoryBase?

It looks like dataContext will never be null, since you call DataContext property in the constructor, which will initialize dataContext.

I faced errors on delete and insert

i faced errors when running
dbSet.Remove(entity); & dataContext.Entry(entity).State = EntityState.Modified;

The object cannot be deleted because it was not found in the ObjectStateManager
where dbcontext turned down to be null in each request

Got problems with current Nuget Package Restore

Please change how work Nuget Package Restore to the "right way"

Pop up Goes Away

I ran the application logged in with Google > Clicked on Create Group > Pop opens > Click on Create button directly. Pop up goes away :(

inviting people to the group and inviting people to follow the goal

sir good work you have done a lot of work i appericiate you on this but sir when we invite people to the group no invitation is stored in database and so user get no notification same the case is is inviting the people to follow the cant search the person to invite for following goal

Poor password management implementation

Passwords are hashed using MD5 which is an extremely bad example to provide. MD5 is considered a broken/banned algorithm by the SDL.

Banned Crypto and the SDL
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sdl/archive/2009/07/16/banned-crypto-and-the-sdl.aspx

Better implementation uses a password based key derivation function (pbkdf2) and used in the new versions of the ASP.NET identity model. See

http://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/89b9166ca722#src/System.Web.Helpers/Crypto.cs

This implementation uses these key features:

1. a versioned hashed password. Allows for migrating to newer versions or changing the algorithm over time
2. a salted hashed password
3. password that is hashed multiple times to increase hacking difficulty

A more extreme version of this algorithm can be found in the Thinktecture Identity server project:

https://github.com/thinktecture/Thinktecture.IdentityServer.v2/blob/master/src/Libraries/Thinktecture.IdentityServer.Core/Helper/CryptoHelper.cs

Profile

while logged in as Admin clicking profile yields null object - admin profile isn't created by default which causes issue.

Also appears to be some field duplication with Profile object, (username there and in IdentityUser (asp.net identity already has it it)), do really need it 2 times since you use it in the viewmodel for userprofile view.

Followers link throws null reference exception

Navigating to Account/Followers, clicking on a follower's link, throws NULL Reference exception cause UserId is null at:

var followers = Mapper.Map<IEnumerable, IEnumerable>(users);

id will be null when reaching Account/UserProfile(string id)
var user = userService.GetUserProfile(id);

Changing both FollowingViewModel and FollowersViewModel to have string Id (not UserId) and their respective partial views will solve the problem.
