Project structure

• Program.cs — startup, middleware and DI
• Controllers — API-like endpoints and helpers (search feed, cart actions)
• Views / Pages — Razor pages and shared layout (Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml)
• wwwroot/css — global site.css plus page-specific styles
• wwwroot/js — client-side scripts (e.g., site.js)
• Data — DbContext, migrations, DbSeeder
• Models — domain models (Product, CartItem, Order, User, ...)
• ViewModels — DTOs and page view models

---

Development notes

• Global styling lives in wwwroot/css/site.css. Page files (e.g., home.css) refine UI.
• Navbar search loads a product feed from /Home/GetAllProducts and performs client-side filtering for instant results; use /Home/SearchResults for full server-side queries.
• Authentication handled by Controllers/AccountController.cs with views in Views/Account.
• Admin UI is under Views/Admin and controlled by AdminController.

---

Useful commands

• Run: dotnet run
• Add EF migration: dotnet ef migrations add <Name>
• Apply EF migrations: dotnet ef database update
• Tests: dotnet test (if tests exist)

---

Deployment

Deploy like any ASP.NET Core app (Azure App Service, IIS, Docker). Use environment variables or platform settings for production secrets. For Docker, use a multi-stage Dockerfile targeting mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0.

---

Contributing

Follow .editorconfig and CONTRIBUTING.md. Keep PRs focused and include migrations and seed updates when changing models.

Suggested flow:

1. Fork → feature branch feat/xyz → commit → PR against master.

---

Troubleshooting

• DB errors: check DefaultConnection and that migrations are applied.
• Static assets: ensure wwwroot is published and paths use ~/.
• Auth issues: review Identity/cookie settings in Program.cs.
