Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system.”

A block of code is set as follows:

public static class LiveGamesEndpoints
{
  public static void MapLiveGamesEndpoints(this 
    IEndpointRouteBuilder routes, ILogger logger)
  {
    var group = routes.MapGroup("/live")

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.AddServiceDefaults();
builder.AddApplicationServices();

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

dotnet new console -o LiveTestClient

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Click the Enable Live Trace checkbox, and click to collect information on ConnectivityLogs, MessagingLogs, and HttpRequestLogs.”
