.NET Aspire Node.js App sample

Browse code

This sample demonstrates an approach for integrating a Node.js app into a .NET Aspire application.

The app consists of two services:

• NodeFrontend: This is a simple Express-based Node.js app that renders a table of weather forecasts retrieved from a backend API and utilizes a Redis cache.
• AspireWithNode.AspNetCoreApi: This is an HTTP API that returns randomly generated weather forecast data.

Pre-requisites

• .NET 8 SDK
• Docker Desktop
• Node.js - at least version 20.9.0
• Optional Visual Studio 2022 17.10

Running the app

If using Visual Studio, open the solution file AspireWithNode.sln and launch/debug the AspireWithNode.AppHost project.

If using the .NET CLI, run dotnet run from the AspireWithNode.AppHost directory.
