This project uses C#, MySQL, Entity Framework, Microsoft Identity, and MVC to create a web interface that will allow the greatest video rental franchise of all time to maintain a catalog of videos to rent, categorize them by actor* and genre, search for videos, authorize customers, and rent videos out to customers with an accurate track of stock. The interface will achieve this by utilizing a MySQL database along with Identity authorization.

Requirements:

• .NET Core SDK 2.2
• MySQL Server 8.0.19
• MySQL Workbench 8.0.19
• Entity Framework

To use this program:

1. Open your preferred browser.

2. Navigate to https://github.com/jkbutserious/Blockbuster.Solution.git.

3. Click the Code button and click Download ZIP to clone the repository to your computer.

4. Open the Windows PowerShell console, VS Code Bash terminal, or the MacOS Terminal and use the cd [YOUR DOWNLOAD FILEPATH]/Blockbuster.Solution/Blockbuster command to navigate to the Blockbuster subdirectory.

5. Use the dotnet restore command to install the necessary packages on your computer.

6. Use the dotnet run command to run the program.

7. Use the web interface to add engineers and machines and keep track of Dr. Sneuss's Blockbuster.

8. Ensure that the following code is present in your appsettings.json file:

   {
     "ConnectionStrings": {
         "DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost;Port=3306;database=blockbuster;uid=root;pwd=epicodus;"
     }
   }
   

9. If you have any issues running this program, please reach out to the developer or troubleshoot at your own risk.

To recreate the database using MySQL and Entity Framework Core:

Note: These instructions assume that you have installed and set up your MySQL Server according to Epicodus's guidelines, as well as Entity Framework Core. For more information, see Installing and Configuring MySQL and Configuration for Entity Framework Core.

1. Open Windows PowerShell, the MacOS Terminal, or your VS Code terminal and use the command cd [YOUR DOWNLOAD FILEPATH]/Blockbuster.Solution.
2. Ensure that the Migrations folder is included in your cloned repository.
3. Use the dotnet ef database update command to apply the latest database migration.
4. Use MySQL Workbench or your preferred terminal to verify the database schema.
