.NET 6.0 (new .NET Core version) REST API template -REST API .NET 6.0
Three steps only to create fully functional REST API:
- install the extension,
- update API appsettings.json with Data Source if not SQLEXPRESS and
- run created solution/service which initiates migration/seed services to get the API service info page
In extended vsix version additionally you can:
- run successfully default scaffold tests in XUnit integration tests project,
- test API with Swagger API specification link on API service info page using test credentials my@email.com mysecretpassword123 to get security token,
- extend and customize you API solution by using T4 templates to scaffold 600+ lines of code (for API, controller, domain, tests and Postman tests) per added entity class; just compile your solution, add new db migration and run successfully T4 generated tests,
- import to Postman generated API tests as json file, use Powershel script Newman command line to generate Postman tests
- have stored procedure implementation example
Core features version
ApiNCoreE.vsix extension
- Three layers projects Api, Domain and Entity
- Automapper
- Dependency Injection (.Net Core feature)
- UnitOfWork
- Generic Service
- Generic Repository with Entity Framework
- EF lazy loading and DB concurrency errors
- Sync and Async calls
- Generic exception handler
- Serilog logging with Console and File sinks
- Migrations and seed from json objects build your empty database
- JWT authorization/authentication for generated API
- T4 templates - simple code generation for domain and service classes
Extended features version
ApiNCoreEx.vsix extension
- All core features included.
- Swagger and Swashbuckle API documentation for .NET Core and Swagger authentication
- Select between Indentity Server 4 or JWT authorization/authentication for generated API
- T4 templates - smart code generation driven by existing entity classes (inherits from BaseEntity). T4 templates generate code for related domain, service, controller, test classes, Postman tests and set db migration based on added entity classes in single click. Great time saver!
- XUnit integration tests project added to the solution for IS4 mode or JWT authentication mode.
- Postman API tests as json file for import (IS4 and JWT tests). Import json and run the tests.
- Generate htlm reports by PowerShell script and Newman command line
- Stored procedure example added to repository
Only four simple steps to extend original solution with your new entity and all the plumbing necessary for an REST API:
- INSTAL THE EXTENSION
- RUN REST API SERVICE OR RUN TESTS
- ADD CUSTOM ENTITY CLASS(ES)
- RUN T4 CODE GENERATOR TO SCAFFOLD ALL SUPPORTING CODE
