Tour of heroes API in .NET

This repository is an API in .NET for the AngularJS Tour of Heroes tutorial, which when finished generates the API in memory. This one is supported by a SQL Server database that you can generate using Docker:

docker run \
-e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' \
-e 'SA_PASSWORD=Password1!' \
-e 'MSSQL_PID=Express' \
--name sqlserver \
-p 1433:1433 -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:latest

Or if you have a Mac with an ARM chip, you can use the following command:

docker run \
--name azuresqledge \
--network sqlserver-vnet \
--cap-add SYS_PTRACE -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=1' \
-e 'MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=Password1!' \
-p 1433:1433 \
-d mcr.microsoft.com/azure-sql-edge

You have the steps in the file create-local-database.sh

Configuration

If there is no other file, the database configuration is taken from the so-called appsettings.json but you must be careful not to upload sensitive information to this, so it is good practice to create a local one called appsettings.Development.json that the .NET project will recognize, use it instead and will not be uploaded to GitHub.

{
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost,1433;Initial Catalog=heroes;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=sa;Password=Password1!;"
    },
    "Logging": {
        "LogLevel": {
            "Default": "Information",
            "Microsoft": "Warning",
            "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
        }
    },
    "AllowedHosts": "*"
}

How to run the project

If you are using Visual Studio Code, you can run the project by pressing F5. If you are using any other method you can launch it by running the following command:

dotnet run

The project will be available at http://localhost:5000 and the Swagger documentation at http://localhost:5000/swagger

How to add heroes

The first time you run the project, the database will be created but no heroes will be added. You can add them using the file called client.http that is in the root of the project. You can use the REST Client extension for Visual Studio Code to run the requests.
