A stackoverflow clone

TinRoll

A stackoverflow clone built with C# + EF Core for the backend and React for the front end. Right now it's very feature bare. You can ask text only questions and can view them in a list.

Running Locally

DB Setup:

1. Install Sql Server
2. Right now TinRoll is defaulted to use localdb instance.
3. Run src/api/TinRoll.Migrations/updateDatabase.ps1 script to create local database.
4. If that fails, try logging into sql server instance through SSMS and creating the TinRollDb manually then rerunning the script. Some versions of LocalDb have a bug around creating databases.

API Setup:

1. Download Visual Studio Code
2. Open up the API folder in Visual Studio Code.
3. You should be prompted to install some extensions, the ionide plugin allowing F# support.
4. Edit the API to your heart's content.
5. You can either run the project from Visual Studio Code, or un the src/api/run.ps1 script to launch the API.

UI Setup:

1. In src/ui folder, run npm install.
2. Run npm run start
3. Navigate browser to localhost:8080 to access the UI.

tinroll's Issues

When object is created, CreatedDate and ModifiedDate aren't the same

In the TinRollContext there's code to set both the created date and modified date. When an object is created both of those timestamps should be the same. Currently two datetime objects are created which results in those fields being set to different values.

TinRoll doesn't support basic Q&A flow

For a first step TinRoll needs to support basic Q&A.

Work to be completed:

1. Adding api endpoints for Answer entities
2. Adding UI for viewing questions, creating questions
3. Adding UI for creating answers to a specific question, viewing answers for a specific question.

The question api endpoints already exist so work can be started on item number 2.

@stefan-kenyon At the moment we can use issues to track things that are pending. This is a bit better than commenting on old PRs. Once some of the basic React stuff is setup I could also do some UI work. I can also show you some backend F# stuff at some point.

TinRoll Needs to Support Basic User Accounts

At the moment all entities created inside TinRoll aren't tied to anyone. Will need some sort of user accounts in order to tie entities towards.
