Restaurants APIs is a comprehensive API project designed to manage restaurant operations. Built using ASP.NET Core 8 and following Clean Architecture principles, this API is engineered for scalability, maintainability, and security. It integrates with Azure Services for cloud storage and database management, providing a robust and cloud-ready solution.
-
Cross-Platform Development: Developed with ASP.NET Core 8, suitable for integration with web, mobile, and desktop applications.
-
Clean Architecture: Ensures a well-organized, maintainable, and easily testable codebase.
-
-
-
Database Management: Utilizes Microsoft SQL Server with Entity Framework Core for efficient data operations.
-
-
Authentication & Authorization: Implements ASP.NET Core Identity with role-based access control, JWT authentication, and custom claims.
-
-
API Documentation: Automated documentation via Swagger for clear API exploration.
-
-
-
-
-
Logging & Monitoring: Integrated with Serilog for comprehensive logging and monitoring.
-
-
-
Azure Integration: Deployed on Azure, leveraging Azure App Services and Azure SQL for high availability and scalability.
- DTO Mapping & Validation: Employs Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) and FluentValidation to ensure data integrity.
- CQRS with MediatR: Implements Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) using MediatR for enhanced scalability and separation of concerns.
- Sub-Entity Management: Efficiently manages nested resources within main entities, adhering to RESTful principles.
- Paging & Sorting: Incorporates paging and sorting mechanisms for handling large datasets effectively.
- Mediator Design Pattern: Mediator Interface: Declares methods used by components to communicate. Concrete Mediator: Implements the mediator interface and coordinates communication between components. Colleague Components: The objects that interact with each other via the mediator. MediatR in C# MediatR is a popular library that implements this pattern in .NET, commonly used with CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation). It provides a way to decouple the request handlers and their invokers using simple, consistent interfaces.
Key Concepts in MediatR: Requests/Commands/Queries: Define what action to perform. Handlers: Implement the logic to handle requests/commands/queries. MediatR Interface: IMediator is used to send requests and invoke the corresponding handlers.
- Singleton Pattern: Ensures a single instance of critical services, such as the database context, for consistency and reduced overhead.
The project is organized according to Clean Architecture principles:
- Core: Contains business logic and domain entities, independent of external dependencies.
- Infrastructure: Manages data access, external services, and infrastructure concerns.
- API: Handles HTTP requests, routing, and user interface interactions.
- Azure Deployment: The application is deployed on Azure using Azure App Services and Azure SQL to ensure high availability and scalability.
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions is utilized for automating build, test, and deployment processes, ensuring efficient and reliable updates.
-
API Documentation: Detailed API documentation is generated with Swagger and Postman, providing clear instructions on API usage.
-
-
Testing Coverage: Includes unit and integration tests to ensure reliability and correctness, with automated pipelines for high code quality.
