ASP.NET Core 6 Web API Boilerplate with Repository Pattern

This project is a boilerplate template for creating a Web API using ASP.NET Core 6. It implements the Repository Pattern and uses Entity Framework Core for data access. This template is designed as a starter point for any ASP.NET Core Web API project, providing a clean and modular codebase with sample data.

Features

• ASP.NET Core 6: Leverages the latest features and improvements in ASP.NET Core 6.
• Repository Pattern: Provides a clean separation of concerns and makes it easy to swap out data storage methods.
• Entity Framework Core: Uses EF Core for data access, making it easy to query and manage data in a database.
• Sample Data: Includes sample data models and seed data for easy setup and testing.
• Swagger Integration: Pre-configured Swagger UI for API testing and documentation.

Getting Started

Follow these instructions to get the project up and running:

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK 6.0
• SQL Server or any compatible database (if using EF Core)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/wiselinjayajos/ASP.NET-Core-6-Web-API-Repository-Pattern.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ASP.NET-Core-6-Web-API-Repository-Pattern
   

3. Restore the packages:

   dotnet restore
   

4. Update the database (if using EF Core): (As this code is not using db, this can be skipped)

   dotnet ef database update
   

5. Run the application:

   dotnet run
   

The API will be accessible at https://localhost:5001 or http://localhost:5000.

• GetEmployees API
• GetEmployee API

Project Structure

The project follows a modular structure:

• Controllers: API controllers for handling HTTP requests.
• Repositories: Interfaces and implementations for accessing data.
• Services: Business logic layer that interacts with repositories and is used by controllers to handle API requests.
• Models: Data models representing entities in the database.
• Data: This boilerplate is using sample data (static data).

Usage

1. Customize the models, repositories, and controllers according to your project's requirements.
2. Update the connection string in appsettings.json to point to your database.
3. Use Swagger (/swagger/index.html) for testing and documentation.
