Key features: JSON functions in SQL Server 2016/Azure SQL Database
Programming Language: C#, Html/JavaScript, Transact-SQL
Authors: Jovan Popovic

Before you begin

To run this sample, you need the following prerequisites.

Software prerequisites:

SQL Server 2016 (or higher) or an Azure SQL Database
Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (or higher) or Visual Studio Code Editor with the ASP.NET Core 1.0 (or higher)

Azure prerequisites:

Permission to create an Azure SQL Database

Run this sample

Setup

Create a database on SQL Server 2016 or Azure SQL Database and set compatibility level to 130.
From SQL Server Management Studio or Sql Server Data Tools connect to your SQL Server 2016 or Azure SQL database and execute sql-scripts/setup.sql script that will create and populate Product table and create required stored procedures.
From Visual Studio 2015, open the ProductCatalog.xproj file from the root directory. Restore packages using right-click menu on the project in Visual Studio and by choosing Restore Packages item. As an alternative, you may run dotnet restore from the command line (from the root folder of application).
Add a connection string in appsettings.json or appsettings.development.json file. An example of the content of appsettings.development.json is shown in the following configuration:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "ProductCatalog": "Server=.;Database=ProductCatalog;Integrated Security=true"
  }
}

If your database is hosted on Azure you can add something like:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "ProductCatalog": "Server=<<SERVER>>.database.windows.net;Database=ProductCatalog;User Id=<<USER>>;Password=<<PASSWORD>>"
  }
}

Build and run sample

Build solution using Ctrl+Shift+B, right-click on project + Build, Build/Build Solution from menu, or dotnet build command from the command line (from the root folder of application).
Run the sample app using F5 or Ctrl+F5 in Visual Studio 2015, or using dotnet run executed in the command prompt of the project root folder.
Open /index.html Url to get all products from database,
Use Add button to add a new product,
Edit a product using Edit button in table,
Delete a product using Delete button in table,

Sample details

This sample application shows how to display list of products, add, edit or delete some product. Front-end code is implemented using JQuery/Bootstrap libraries, and JQuery DataTable component for displaying data in table. Server-side code is implemented using ASP.NET Core Web API. SQL Server JSON functions are used to format product data that will be sent to front-end page.

Disclaimers

The code included in this sample is not intended demonstrate some general guidance and architectural patterns for web development. It contains minimal code required to create REST API, and it does not use some patterns such as Repository. Sample uses built-in ASP.NET Core Dependency Injection mechanism; however, this is not prerequisite. You can easily modify this code to fit the architecture of your application.
