Hi Travis, I just stumbled upon this upload. Been needing this. Thank you :)

An amazing quickstart video for a dotnet newbie thanks a lot!

Will you please make a video on identity, auth, jwt, secure auth with react, .net core api with sql server??? Thanks for making this video. it helped a lot.

[alexandershubert]

Thank you indeed! Having sloooowly done this on mac with .net7 it finally worked. deleting db.sql messed up the authentication/login, but the api worked beautifully. thank you!

Hello Travis, this works wonderfully as it is shown, but if I try to call API from REACT side there are many problems with proxy port or if I specify full URL then there are problems with cors. Do you have same problems and how did you solve them. Thanks in advance!

Wonderfull video, it helps me a lot, but I have a question🤔
Can someone on Windows run the app fine if he's using Visual Studio IDE? I would appreciate an answer a lot; thank you!

Hey Travis, I have followed your tutorial however when I use postman to go post a note it says Cannot POST. Would you happen to know why?

[gypmaa]

Hi Travis, intresting video! I followed along and got everything working (with .NET version 6.0) except postman which I guess is an issue with my network. What I would like to know is, how do I go to the next step now? how Do my React code communicate with my (.NET C#) backend? How do I update my Postgres database? Have you got more videos on this or are you planing on making them?

Where did you get this command line: "dotnet new react -o reactnet --auth Individual"? I have looked everywhere on the .net docs and reactjs docs, but I can't seem to find it...

i can not run the program as i am having issue with reauired libraries, how can i set up the my VSC first to run it

[ImaginativeWork]

Any tutorials for doing this with SQL Server?

[AllysonTS]

Ok this did work for me on Windows. But anyone knows how i use this API on React side? (I'm starting to learn React). 😅

[dingusdingus]

i was able to follow the video for dotnet 7.0, but i am struggling to use postman to access the api. I recieve 404 errors. anyone run into this issue and know where i may be going wrong?

ERROR: SSL connect error. Not able to do any requests. Stuck here, have no idea what else to do ugh

Edit: it works with http instead of https.
