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: “The –-debug * option of the Tye command waits for VS Code debug sessions to be attached to each service.”

A block of code is set as follows:

"compounds":
   [
     {
       "name": "webApi + webApi2 w/Dapr",
       "configurations": [".NET Core Launch w/Dapr
         (webapi)", ".NET Core Launch w/Dapr (webapi2)"]
     }
   ]

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

     {
        "name": ".NET Core Launch w/Dapr (webapi2)",
        "type": "coreclr",
        "request": "launch",
        "preLaunchTask": "daprd-debug-webapi2",

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

PS C:\> curl http://localhost:60151/v1.0/invoke/hello-world/method/hello
Hello, World

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: “Once we activate debugging in VS Code by selecting the .NET Core Launch (web) with Dapr configuration, this is what happens.”
