In addition to the Angular frontend, we also have an ASP.NET Core API setup server-side. When we create a new ASP.NET Core Web Application using the Angular template, a new “Hello, World” application is generated. This article will discuss enhancing the default template configuration to build and run your ASP.NET Core Angular app in Docker. Fortunately, with a couple of small changes, we can incorporate Docker into the default ASP.NET Core Angular template and take advantage of the benefits that come along with the Visual Studio container tools. This is, of course, until you use the ASP.NET Core Angular template and notice the Enable Docker Support checkbox is disabled. Things that would typically take a couple of hours to setup are created with the click of a button.
NET Core and Visual Studio have many very convenient interaction points with Docker. If you’ve read any of my previous posts, you know that.
Being a new project, we were also able to use the latest version of ASP.NET Core and Visual Studio 2019.
A project I started recently had a strong focus on Docker. What’s better than starting a new greenfield project? You finally have the opportunity to leverage all the latest patterns, technologies, and frameworks that you’ve been dying to get your hands on.
