RESTful Student

A .NET-based REST API designed to manage student information in his department. This API allows for the creation, retrieval, update, and deletion (CRUD) of student records. We use simple SQLite database due to the simplicity of useage.

Topics

• REST API
• Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)
• Extension Method
• Group Builder
• Validation using Data Annotation
• NuGet
• Entity Framework
• Dependency Injection
• Asynchronous Endpoints

Usage

1. First ensure you've those prerequisites:

   • .NET SDK
   • Install those extensions to your VS Code:
     • C# Dev Kit
     • REST Client
     • SQLite

2. Clone the repo:

   git clone [email protected]:mohamedhassan218/RESTful-Student.git

3. Change the directory:

   cd RESTful-Student\Students\

4. Install the dependencies:

   dotnet restore

5. You don't need to migrate the database due to we put the code that does this in the startup, so just run:

   dotnet run

6. And now, you can test the API by running each request in the test.http file.
