JsonApiDotNetCore

A framework for building JSON:API compliant REST APIs using .NET Core and Entity Framework Core. Includes support for Atomic Operations.

The ultimate goal of this library is to eliminate as much boilerplate as possible by offering out-of-the-box features such as sorting, filtering and pagination. You just need to focus on defining the resources and implementing your custom business logic. This library has been designed around dependency injection, making extensibility incredibly easy.

Development

To build the code from this repository locally, run:

dotnet build

Running tests locally requires access to a PostgreSQL database. If you have docker installed, this can be propped up via:

run-docker-postgres.ps1

And then to run the tests:

dotnet test

Alternatively, to build and validate the code, run all tests, generate code coverage and produce the NuGet package:
