Routing middleware is added to the request pipeline & attribute routing is used.
API gets & manipulates data from API endpoints, using the built-in dependency injection system. Endpoints are decorated with appropriate Http attributes: Get, Post, Patch, etc…
Endpoints return async Tasks to free up threads to be used for other tasks, improving the application's scalability.
ICityInfoRepository.cs: Repository Pattern is implemented.
Automapper is used to map between Entites & DTOs (Profiles folder).
Check GetCitiesAsync(string? name, string? searchQuery, int pageNumber, int pageSize) for searching & paging.
IQueryable is used for deferred execution: query is constructed with passed filters & executed in the end when iterated over with ToListAsync().
Connects to SQL database via Entity Framework Core 8 with code-first approach.
API is documented with Swagger.XML comments are used to make it more descriptive: Response Types & Status Codes. (Check GetCity endpoint in CitiesController.cs for a sample.)
CityInfoApiBearerAuth security definition (type: “Http”, scheme: “Bearer”) is required (check builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen in Program.cs). Sample jwt is generated in AuthenticationController.cs.
Versioning via URI.
