A website based off of Medium.com, that was created with a group of four people. The purpose of Tabloid was to utilize and level up our understanding of building an application in ASP.NET with the MVC Pattern. So it's time to pivot. We're still going to focus on long-form writing, but not we'll let people write their own posts.
- Clone the repo
- Run the SQL scripts in SQL directory in order
- Run the program using dotnet run or your debugger
Full CRUD with intricate foreign key relationships found throughout the database. A Repository Pattern was created to handle all of the SQL commands which allows the users to manipulate the data.
Models were created to represent the Data Tables for User Profiles, Posts, Comments, Tags, and categories.
Views utlize Razor pages which combine C# and HTML, which combine to give our users a pleasant way to view data and create/manipulate items which are within their authorization
Controllers were created for each model as a way to handle request coming from the browser, and relayed back to repositories to retrieve or manipulate items. Which then return one of the views so that users have a streamlined experience for creating, reading, updating, or even deleting posts on the website.
Tabloid Has two types of users, Authors and Admis, which are limited by authorization rights:
-
Authors can create Posts, manage their own Posts(to include editing and deleting), are prevented from making any changes to Posts which don't belong to them, and read and comment on other authors' posts
-
Admins can do all the things authors can do, but are also in charge of managing all the data in the system.
An Author has the same views an abilities as views as Authors, however they have no edit or delete restrictions
