Microsoft eShopOnWeb ASP.NET Core Reference Application

eShop sample applications have been updated and moved to https://github.com/dotnet/eShop. Active development will continue there. We also recommend the Reliable Web App patterns guidance for building web apps with enterprise app patterns.

A new community supported version of eShopOnWeb can be found at https://github.com/NimblePros/eShopOnWeb

Sample ASP.NET Core reference application, powered by Microsoft, demonstrating a single-process (monolithic) application architecture and deployment model. If you're new to .NET development, read the Getting Started for Beginners guide.

Overview Video

Steve "ardalis" Smith recorded a live stream providing an overview of the eShopOnWeb reference app in October 2020.

eBook

This reference application is meant to support the free .PDF download ebook: Architecting Modern Web Applications with ASP.NET Core and Azure, updated to ASP.NET Core 8.0. Also available in ePub/mobi formats.

You can also read the book in online pages at the .NET docs here: https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/architecture/modern-web-apps-azure/

The eShopOnWeb sample is related to the eShopOnContainers sample application which, in that case, focuses on a microservices/containers-based application architecture. However, eShopOnWeb is much simpler in regards to its current functionality and focuses on traditional Web Application Development with a single deployment.

The goal for this sample is to demonstrate some of the principles and patterns described in the eBook. It is not meant to be an eCommerce reference application, and as such it does not implement many features that would be obvious and/or essential to a real eCommerce application.

VERSIONS

The main branch is currently running ASP.NET Core 8.0.
