Introduction Swagger allows you to describe the structure of your APIs so that machines can read them. The ability of APIs to describe their own structure is the root of all awesomeness in Swagger. Why is it so great? Well, by reading your API’s structure, we can automatically build beautiful and interactive API documentation. We can also automatically generate client libraries for your API in many languages and explore other possibilities like automated testing.  Swagger does not only allows you to do API documentation but you can also authorize each endpoint in the swagger doc. In this tutorial, I use JWT to authenticate and pass the token to the "api_key" field which gives you access to protected resources. If you're not familiar with swagger, you should try checking out their website  http://swagger.io/ Adding Swagger UI with JWT Authentication in asp.net web API To authenticate your swagger using jwt tokens, you have to start by installing the swashbuckl...

Select rule type "Port" and click next, specify port 81, allow connection from "public, ...

Before getting NativeScript to display the “No Issues Detected”, it was very difficult. The common problems people are facing is not being able to get NativeScript to find the SDK to user and also the right version. The issue: Cannot find a compatible Android SDK for compilation. To be able to build for Android, install Android SDK 22 or later. Run $ android to manage your Android SDK versions. You need to have Android SDK 22 or later and the latest Android Support Repository installed on your system. Run $ android to manage the Android Support Repository After installing NativeScript and the required JDK and going through the documentation online, the error above was thrown. Solution I found out that NativeScript was looking at another folder in the “c:\users\USR \ AppData\Loc...
