Run

• It is important to know that I have used the ASP.NET Core 6 in this project, so to run it make sure that you have the same version installed on your device.

• Download the project as a zip file or make a clone with git clone https://github.com/fadisam123/Emenu_Backend_challenge_Ahmad_Kurdi.git command.

• Simply, either open the .sln file and from the Debug tab, choose Start Without Debuging. Or go to the folder named: Emenu_Backend_challenge_Ahmad_Kurdi, then open the command window in this path and execute the dotnet run command; It will download the required packages and compile the files, and then the program will run.

• Upon running, a database will be created using SQL Server named EmenuDB_Ahmad_kurdi, and some data that I entered manually will be placed. You will notice that the server is now listening on https://localhost:7137. Now you can interact with the application at that address, or you can go to the documentation page at https://localhost:7137/swagger/index.html and see all possible actions an routs and interact with them directly.

Notes

• Below is a diagram depicting my implementation of the database according to my understanding of the topic and requirements (Note that it can be further normalized and optimized if I conduct some inquiries and obtain more details to deepen my understanding)

• The following image shows the project structure:

The Emenu_Backend_challenge_Ahmad_Kurdi is a console application (Web API) project representing the presentation layer (i.e., API).
The Application is a cross-platform class library representing the application logic layer.
The Infrastructure is a class library representing the data layer.
The Domain is a class library that contains the database mapped object (ORM), or the model of the system.
The DTOs is a shared class library used in the Application & Emenu_Backend_challenge_Ahmad_Kurdi projects.

• Please note that I did not follow the N-tier architecture style 100% in this project. For example, I placed the repository interfaces (and unit of work) in the application layer rather than the infrastructure layer.
• Also note that in this project I did not implement many things, for example, there is no data validation on input, no error/exception handling, auto-mapping, etc.
• If you have any questions or issues about anything related to the project, code, or the running process; Please feel free to contact me immediately.

Thanks for your time.
