Questions/Concerns from Tutorial

[drdexter33]

Hello.

I decided to learn React/.Net Core API full stack development and came across this tutorial:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/build-web-api-minimal-spa/

I was able to get everything working as expected but had some questions about a couple of things:

Question 1:
In the tutorial step: Exercise - Create an API, there is a step to create a file named db.json in the PizzaClient directory:

Then after the step to "Prepare proxy to mock server" there is a step to "Start the mock server":

In this step I can open a web browser to test the API but the tutorial language seems to indicate that we can test the CRUD functionality to "make sure the changes work", however I cannot see a way to do this from the web browser:

Although If I click on the Pizzas hyperlink, I can see the JSON data from db.json:

### Should I have CRUD functionality available when I run the mock API?

Question 2:

In the tutorial step: Exercise - Start the .NET Core API server

When I use my web browser and point it to localhost:5100, the "Hello World" message is displayed:

However, localhost:5100/pizzas

Shows only pepperoni:

However I was expecting to see json data that reflected db.json:

### Was this expectation incorrect? If so what was the source of the seed data?

Question 3:

This is more related to debugging.

I was able to update my launch.json file to get VS Code to debug the PizzaClient code:

However I'm wonder how to set up debugging to trace into the API to be able to see end-to-end debugging.

Is there a way to do this in VS Code?

Thanks in advance.
