Build Real World ECommerce Website with .Net Core 7 2025

Implement the repository pattern in a .NET Core 7 ecommerce app by creating a product repository interface with methods for all, trending, and by-id products, plus a dummy-data repository.

Explore how Entity Framework Core streamlines database work with an object-relational mapping and an object oriented data model. Install two NuGet packages to enable SQL Server connectivity for your application.

Explore the code-first approach with entity framework by defining a coffee shop db context and a products db set, then configure options and the connection string.

Learn how to add a database connection string in app settings, set up coffee shop db context with entity framework, and access the string through builder configuration.

Install the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools package, create a migration named initial create, and apply it with update-database to build the database and products table.

Seed the products table by using the data method in the model creating method, add a seed migration, update the database, and verify data via the product shop endpoint.

Discover how to build a shared layout in views/shared, apply _layout and RenderBody for consistent headers and dynamic content, and optimize with view start and view imports.

Retrieve trending products from the database via the product repository and display them on the index page. Bind image, name, and price from the product model.

Create a shopping cart model and repository using session-based user IDs, add a cart items table, and implement add, get, clear, and total methods for the cart.

Add the shopping cart index view using a base template, display a cart item and a total price, and set up future data retrieval from the database.

Display data in the shopping cart by loading a list of cart items in the index view, showing product name, image, quantity, price, and the total price.

Compute the shopping cart total with the repository’s get shopping cart total method, pass the decimal result via view bag, and display the dynamic total price in the cart.

Display an empty shopping cart view by showing a no-items message when the cart is empty, using model.count. Provide a start shopping link that redirects to the shop page.

Define the order model with id, user first name, last name, email, phone, address, order total, and placed date; add order detail with product, quantity, price; register in context.

Add a checkout view to the orders controller, render the order form from a custom template with a shared navigation bar, preparing for model binding.

Apply model binding to map form fields to the order model and perform type conversion during checkout. Place the order via the checkout form and reset the cart count.

Add authentication with scaffolding identity, enabling user registration, login, and logout using the coffee shop context and Entity Framework, and integrate Razor Pages for sign-in flows.

Improve the register and login pages by center aligning controls with bootstrap, updating navigation to the identity area, and configuring the login partial for sign in and sign out.

Authorize the orders controller to ensure only registered users can place orders by adding an authorization attribute, enforcing login before checkout.

Create an Azure web app by selecting the web app template, configuring a resource group, unique name, dotnet runtime, region, and pricing plan, then deploy and download the publish profile.

Publish your .NET Core 7 e-commerce web app to Azure. Update the app settings with the Azure SQL Database connection string and publish using the published profile.
