An online community website used to share interesting call for papers with speakers.
This website is built using ASP.NET Core 2.0 and hosted on Azure: https://cfp.exchange.
This project uses a number of secrets to connect to various APIs and databases. For this we use the ASP.NET Core user secrets.
To enter the connection string for your development database, use the following steps:
Create a file in %APPDATA%\microsoft\UserSecrets\CfpExchangeSecrets\secrets.json
and paste in the example below - then update it with your own secret values!
Create a file in ~/.microsoft/usersecrets/CfpExchangeSecrets/secrets.json
and paste in the example below - then update it with your own secret values!
The file should have the following layout:
{
"TwitterConsumerKey": "key",
"TwitterConsumerSecret": "secret",
"TwitterOAuthToken": "token",
"TwitterOAuthTokenSecret": "tokensecret",
"AdminEmailaddress": "[email protected]",
"EmailSettings": {
"ApiKey": "MailGunApiKey",
"ApiUri": "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/yourdomain.com/messages",
"From": "No-Reply CFP Exchange <[email protected]>"
},
"MapsApiKey": "key",
"ConnectionStrings": {
"CfpExchangeDb": "ConnectionStringToTheCfpExchangeDatabase"
},
"UrlPreviewApiKey": "key",
"FeatureToggle": {
"HostOwnImages": true
},
"ServicebusQueueConnectionString": "ConnectionStringToTheServiceBusQueue"
}
MapsApiKey
is an API key for the Azure Maps serviceUrlPreviewApiKey
is the Azure Cognitive Services URL Preview key (experimental) functionality for this is implemented but not currently used.
In order to run the Azure Functions project, you need to create a file called local.settings.json
in the root directory of this project.
The contents should look like the following:
{
"IsEncrypted": false,
"Values": {
"AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
"AzureWebJobsDashboard": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
"ServicebusQueueConnectionString": "ConnectionStringToTheServiceBusQueue",
"StorageAccountName": "ConnectionStringToTheBlobStorageAccount",
"CfpExchangeDb": "ConnectionStringToTheCfpExchangeDatabase"
}
}
All of these settings can be found within the Azure Portal once your environment is deployed to Azure via the ARM template.
