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: “In the preceding code, SyntaxReceiver contains the OnVisitSyntaxNode method.”

A block of code is set as follows:

message Person {
	int32 id = 1;
	string name = 2;
	repeated int32 moviesIds = 3;
}

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

[ProtoContract]
public interface IPersonRepository
{
    ValueTask<Person> CreateAsync(Person person, CallContext     contex = default);
}

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

Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore
dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design

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 right mouse button on Dependencies in the MediaLibrary.Server project.”
