The quick-asp-blog from miptleha

quick-asp-blog's Introduction

Simple blog on ASP.NET 5.0

What is it

I want to start my blog (locally on laptop) and don't want to use ready-made solutions (for example, BlogEngine).

The idea was to create and run application on IIS as soon as possible.

It is very simple application, only list all posts and creation/edition/deletion for each one.

All posts stores in UTF-8 text files in application subfolder.

Creation

I have Visual Studio 2019 with .NET 5.0 (Core).

Before that I had experience in creating web applications on ASP.NET Core 2 and ASP.NET MVC (.NET 4.0).

First, I create new project (ASP.NET Core Web Application) with Razor Pages content.

Then add/modify pages, add some code (not a lot of).

Publication

I need to blog on my laptop at any time.

I decided to host on IIS (have Windows 10 with IIS 10).

Install .NET Core hosting bundle.
In IIS management console create new application pool, add new application for Default Web Site.
Publish in folder from Visual Studio.

quick-asp-blog's Issues

edit long entity

extend textarea down to long text.
scroll is not convinient to view text content.
may be extend textboxes (caption and text) to all screen via javascript (or bootstrap)

empty record

It is better add validation for empty post. There is no point in such post.
At least for the title.

Anonymous editing

Need protection from adding/editing/dropping posts from unknown hosts or not from me (kid or someone else).

It is suggested to create login.txt file in the root folder with login and password strings for admin.
Any write action will require authorization (only once for session).

It is simple protection. From another computer this file not visible (not in wwwroot folder).
