Look inside

The development team at Boutique, a software company, is working on a project for automating the inspection process of a client that builds industrial robots. An ASP.NET Core HTTP API has already been set up, and the team has started implementing the domain model entities and persisting them to a SQL database. As part of the team, your task is to implement CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) endpoints for all the entities according to the OpenAPI specification. To achieve persistence, you’ll configure Entity Framework Core and register it in the dependency injection container. You’ll implement a custom JSON converter to support polymorph endpoints in order to handle different types of robots. To verify that your implementation is correct, you’ll write and perform integration tests.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

project author

Ruben Vandeginste

Ruben Vandeginste received his PhD in computer science from KU Leuven, Belgium, in 2007. Soon afterward, he began working for PeopleWare, where he’s currently a software architect and technical lead. He designs and helps implement administrative applications, with a focus on backend services built with Microsoft’s .NET stack, and he’s well-versed in implementing HTTP APIs with Web API and ASP.NET Core.

prerequisites

This liveProject is for C# developers who want to learn how to implement CRUD endpoints in HTTP APIs using the ASP.NET Core framework. To begin this liveProject, you’ll need to be familiar with the following:

TOOLS
  • Basic C#
  • Basic HTTP
  • Basic YAML and JSON
TECHNIQUES
  • Basic debugging techniques

you will learn

In this liveProject, you’ll learn to implement CRUD endpoints, with persistence to an SQL database, in an ASP.NET Core HTTP API.

  • Configure Entity Framework Core and register its components in the dependency injection (DI) container
  • Read and interpret an OpenAPI specification (as it pertains to input constraints and polymorph data structures)
  • Validate input data in an endpoint implementation
  • Write integration tests in the context of database access using Entity Framework Core
  • Handle polymorphism on the API level
  • Write and register a custom JSON converter
