Hello and welcome to my sample repo for a Cinema bookings web application using MVC.

Getting started

I am using Visual Studio 2022 with .NET 6 to create this web app.You need to create a new ASP.NET MVC project using C#.
Then you have to install (EF=Entity Framework) EF Core , EF Tools and EF SQL Server through the NuGet Package Manager of Visual Studio.
Also you have to setup your application.json file in the project.I included it in .gitignore in this project because it contains sensitive info.

Create one first on the root of your solution.Then you must set it up like this:\

{
    "Logging": {
        "LogLevel": {
        "Default": "Information",
        "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
        }
    },
    "AllowedHosts": "*",
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "{Your_Connection_Name}": "Server={Your_Server};Database={Your_DB_Name};Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=True"
    }
}

Exclude the hyphens on the above example.The hyphens highlight your custom values for the connection string.

EF Core Info

I will be using Entity Framework Core using a code-first approach for the database creation , handling etc.
Whenever you want to create a new model , update a table , create a table etc. , you have to add your changes in the ApplicationDbContext file.
Afterwards , you need to migrate the changes to the database.EF Core achieves that through migrations.Check online for more info.
In our case , after every change we perform to the data models , we have to do the following:

1.Open Tools->Package Manager Console 2.Perform the following command : 'add-migration {your_migration_name}' 3.update-database

The migration name must be somewhat related to the changes you perform.For instance , if you change a model named User , you can have a name such as
'UpdateUserTable'.

Basic View Setup

I will use the slate theme from https://bootswatch.com/ and the navbar included if you go on Preview->Second navbar and code the code in place of the basic navbar.

Pop-up messages functionality

I will be using the Sweet Alert 2 from https://sweetalert2.github.io/ for pop-up messages in my application.
Just go over to the above website , find the script source and include it in the header of the _Layout.cshtml file. In order to include a Sweet Alert pop-up in a view , you need a code bracket like the following:

@{
...some code here
<script>
Swal.fire({
title: {Title},
text: {Your Message},
icon: {Appropriate icon name},
confirmButtonText: {Button text}
})
</script>
...rest code here
}

The values in brackets in the above snippet should be your custom values.Search at the website provided for every provided icon name.
