In my component I publish a UI component that uses an API controller to handle updating of application resources generically. There is a base .NET library that provides core localization services and an ASP.NET Core specific library that provides features specifically for ASP.NET.

The issue is how to allow the API Controller - which lives inside of the generic component and is not touched by the application directly - to be secured easily.

I ended with the following code:

services.AddWestwindGlobalization(opt =>
{

Marking up the World with Markdown

Markdown has easily been one of the most influential technologies that have affected me in the last few years. Specifically it has changed how I work with documentation and a number of documents both for writing and also for text editing and content storage inside of applications.

Markdown is a plain text representation of HTML typically. Markdown works using a relatively small set of easy to type markup mnemonics to represent many common document centric HTML elements like bold, italic, underlined text, ordered and unordered lists, links and images, code snippets, tables and more. This small set of markup directives is easy to learn and quick to type in any editor without special tools or applications.

In the past I've been firmly planted in the world of rich text editors like Word, or using a WYSIWYG editor on the Web, or for Blog Editing using something like Live Writer which used a WYSIWYG editor for post editing. When I first discovered Markdown a number of years a

You can do simple date formatting with a library by using the Intl.DateTimeFormat JavaScript class.

MDN for DateTimeFormat

alert( formatDate(new Date()));
// Apr 11, 2019, 1:10:40 PM

function formatDate(date, locale) {

IWebHostingEnvironment is not available in .NET Core 2.x, but in 3.x it's the recommended way to access the host environment with threat of IHostingEnvironment being removed in the future. This can be a problem in libraries that need to run both on 2.x and 3.x.

The following tries to mask the differences in a multi-targeted .NET Core project by creating a custom IWebHostEnvironment implementations that picks up values from IHostingEnvironment in 2.x.
