Do you really need a SPA and full JavaScript framework for that? htmx might be all you need—it's clean, fast, and plays great with Razor Pages. Let’s break down when to use htmx vs the usual suspects: https://woodruff.dev/htmx-vs-javascript-frameworks-choosing-the-right-tool-for-the-job/

okay so i'm considering using keycloak for my aspnet core application but i'm confused about one thing: how do i store the user id that other database models depend on? users can own feeds and those feeds can own articles. do i just assign the userid from keycloak to a barebones user entity and then have a join with the feeds table?

i would use aspnet core identity but i still don't really understand how it would work with jwt auth and the docs are not helping

Can someone on the #dotnet and #aspnetcore team explain the decision behind making empty string values equate to null in form posts when using minimal APIs?

I know this is a big ask but would anyone be willing to tutor me with aspnet core and auth? I've been beating my head against this for like months and I just want to get to actually making my application. aspnet core identity seems like it's too limited and not really meant for what i'm trying to do (support an SPA and third party client mobile apps), but the docs are confusing me so I'm not even sure if that's right. I was thinking of using keycloak, but that's a huge undertaking it seems like and has been giving me trouble too. #fediHelp #aspnetcore #programmingHelp

Using #Vite development server to proxy calls to an #aspnetcore backend is relatively simple if you know what levers to pull.

This should make #TypeScript and #JavaScript development for #dotnet powered APIs much more straightforward for folks than dealing with the SpaProxy.

Loading #aspnetcore self-signed certificate into your #vite dev server is straightforward. Here is the code for anyone doing #frontend #javascript #development.

The pfx file is under `~/.aspnet/dev-certs/https` on macOS.
