News App

Application developed for education purposes

Intro

As I'm a proponent of Domain Driven Design, I've decided to use some techniques and tools from DDD to develop the API for managing and delivering news content.

The solution follows a clean architecture pattern and consists of the following projects:

• Api: The web API layer that handles HTTP requests and responses
• Core: Contains the business logic, domain entities, and core interfaces
• Infrastructure: Implementation of infrastructure concerns (data access, external services)
• UnitTests: Contains unit tests for the application

Getting Started

Technical requirements:

1. .NET 9.0 SDK
2. PostgreSQL instance
   1. Connection string to the DB can be set through user secrets with the standard key _ConnectionString on the Api project

After running the migrations from the Infrastructure project (this project also requires a connection string), a user with and ID of 1 should be entered manually in the client.user table.

Auth

This API has two endpoints, one of which is public and the other expects a bearer token authentication header. The authentication token can be generated with the following command:

dotnet user-jwts create --name 1

This authentication mechanism is used only for development purposes and for production a proper OAuth2 implementation should be used.
