LampShade is a web application built as the final project of the ASP.NET Core MVC Training Course. The project demonstrates practical implementation of clean architecture, DDD (Domain-Driven Design), and modular design principles in ASP.NET Core MVC.

• ✅ Modular architecture (separate layers for Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and UI)
• ✅ Entity Framework Core with Code-First Migrations
• ✅ Repository & Unit of Work patterns
• ✅ Dependency Injection (IoC)
• ✅ Authentication & Authorization (Role-based access control)
• ✅ Admin Panel for managing products, categories, discounts, etc.
• ✅ User Panel with shopping cart and order management
• ✅ Dynamic Content Management (e.g., Sliders, Banners, Articles)
• ✅ Fully localized & extendable structure

The solution is divided into multiple projects to keep things clean and maintainable:

• LampShade.Domain → Core business rules and entities
• LampShade.Application → Application services, DTOs, and contracts
• LampShade.Infrastructure → EF Core persistence, repository implementations
• LampShade.Presentation → ASP.NET Core MVC (UI Layer)
• LampShade.Query → Read models & queries for fast data access

• .NET 6 SDK or later
• SQL Server
• Visual Studio 2022 / Rider / VS Code

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/LampShade.git
   cd LampShade

2. Update connection string in appsettings.json.

3. Apply EF Core migrations:

   dotnet ef database update

4. Run the project:

   dotnet run

5. Open http://localhost:5000 in your browser.

By building LampShade, you will learn:

• How to implement DDD & Clean Architecture in ASP.NET Core
• How to structure a scalable and maintainable MVC project
• Real-world e-commerce features like product management, discounts, and checkout
• How to use CQRS with EF Core for read/write separation

Contributions, issues, and feature requests are welcome! Feel free to fork and submit a PR.

This project is for educational purposes, based on the ASP.NET Core MVC Training Course by Atriya. You may use and modify it for your own learning or projects.
