The project is a simple web application for managing employee data. It uses ASP.NET Web API to create a server that handles web requests, Entity Framework to interact with a SQL Server database, and JWT for secure user authentication. Users can add, view, update, and delete employee records through this application, ensuring that data is managed efficiently and securely.
- /Context/APIDbContext: The Context links application models to the database, enabling data operations like CRUD.
- /Controller: Controllers handle incoming HTTP requests and send responses, balance application flow.
- /Interfaces: Interfaces define contracts for services, outlining methods without implementing them.
- /Models: Models represent the data structure, match database entities or custom data shapes for the API.
- /Request Models: Request Models are added for specific operations, shaping data for requests or responses.
- /Services: Services encapsulate business logic, performing specific tasks like user authentication or data management.
- ASP.NET Core 7: for building the web api.
- Entity Framework Core: is used as an ORM in order to interact with the underlying SQL Database.
- SQL Server: is being utilized as a lightweight database server.
- JWT: JSON Web Tokens are utilized for user authentication.
Key features
- The authentication and signin endpoint, known as
auth, allows users to securely access the system - To view employee data, simply make a request to the endpoint using a valid credentials.
- However, viewing employee details, no authentication is required, making it easier to access.
- CRUD capabilities on employees can be performed by authenticated users.
