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.
