Book Description
Build fully-featured APIs with ASP.NET Core! This all-practical guide is written like a real development project, taking you hands-on with modern APIs utilizing REST and GraphQL standards.
In Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core you will learn how to:
Set up your environment with VS 2022, Node, Git, and more
Create a ASP.NET Core project from scratch
Integrate with SQL Server
Use Entity Framework Core to set up a data model
Create back-end controllers
Design an API to serve data
Write API documentation using Swagger and Swashbuckle
Consume an API using typical web client-side frameworks
Handle requests and routes using controllers and Minimal API
Release and deploy your Web API in production on cloud-based hosting services such as MS Azure
Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core is a practical beginner’s guide to creating your first web APIs using ASP.NET Core. In it, you’ll develop an API that feeds web-based services, including websites and mobile apps, for a board games application. The book is cleverly structured to mirror a real-world development project, with each chapter introducing a new feature request. You’ll build your API with an ecosystem of ASP.NET Core tools that help simplify everything from setting up your data model to generating documentation.
