It’s been a good week for my project. I had quite optimistic plans for it, but I realized them almost completely. Maybe there are not many changes in the frontend part, but I set the backend side of the project.
As I announced in the first articles in this series I used .Net 6 for the API controllers and I store data in MS SQL database using Entity Framework Core. I chose this tech stack because I work with these technologies in my daily work.
Therefore, this part of the project went pretty quickly. The only thing I planned to do and haven’t finished yet is the refresh token mechanism.
what did I do last week?
🔶 made register/login views in angular
🔶 signing up/ logging in/logging out finished & tested
🔶 authentication API in .Net 6
🔶 question management API in .Net
🔶 storing questions & users in MS SQL (using Entity Framework)
what was the biggest impediment?
- understanding the authentication mechanism (what are the vulnerabilities and how to avoid them)
- generating tokens (configuring all needed settings in .Net was not so clear)
what is the plan for next week?
- implement refresh token
- fix buttons appearance
- invent & implement points and reward strategy
- add user profile component with user settings

summary
I’m really happy with what I achieved last week. After the refresh token mechanism is completed, I will try to write down missing key things before deploying the app on azure and going public. There is still some time left until the end of the year…
