ASP.NET Core 8 Web API demonstrating CRUD operations with Entity Framework Core and SQLite. A practical example for managing movies data.

DotNet Crud Web Api Example

A RESTful Web API using ASP.NET Core in .NET 8.0 alongside Entity Framework Core.

This project demonstrates a simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operation on movies, utilizing a SQLite database to persist data.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• .NET 8.0 SDK
• Entity Framework Core CLI

You can install the EF Core CLI tool globally using:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps:

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https:/github.com/Scribbio/DotNet-8-Crud-Web-API-Example.git

2. Navigate to the project directory

3. Install necessary packages

   Make sure all the required NuGet packages are restored:
