Step-by-step action

Prerequisite:

• Install azd command line
• Visual Studio 2022 preview 17.9. and newer
• Visual Studio Code Optional
• Docker Desktop for local development

Local development

When you clone the code, open it with Visual Studio 2022 preview 17.9 and newer and set the startup project to WeatherApp.AppHost and fire up.

With the current code, it will start a dashboard.

Azure Cloud Development

Follow the steps below:

Login to azure

azd auth login

Switch to Aspire project

cd WeatherApp.AppHost

generate manifest.json

dotnet run --publisher manifest --output-path manifest.json

Required only first time

azd init

What to answer:

-> Use code in the current directory

-> Confirm and continue initializing my app

[X] frontend
[ ] weatherapi

Enter a new environment name: staging-environment

When done successfully

azd up

-> subscription selection -> location wait for provision resources in Azure

to delete the resource

azd down

to update existing resources

azd config set alpha.infraSynth on
azd infra synth
azd up

to update your code deployment only

azd deploy

to recreate everything and start over again

Just delete .azure folder, infra folder, azure.yml, and manifest.json

Enable a feature that generates bicep

azd config set alpha.infraSynth on

Generate infra folder with bicep

azd infra synth

I have put all commands in line order to start and stop the solution

Before running the following start.ps1, you need to edit it with your azure subscription id.

From PowerShell:

.\start.ps1

if you need to update the existing resources

.\update.ps1

When finished testing and playing, then clean up:

.\stop.ps1

Snapshot of start.ps1 and stop.ps1 process
