ℹ️🚩 Built for Software Developers, as a demo and practice for me. 🚩ℹ️

Tools

• C#
• .NET 6
• EntityFramework
• NLog

Running From Visual Studio / VS Code

This is not intended for production (end users), it is meant as demo or example of creating a RESTful Web API in C# and .NET.

in order to run this project do the following ...

1. Set the JWT Key Info on JWT to something either in appsettings.json OR UserSecrets docs "JwtKey": "SET_THIS_TO_SOMETHING_DONT_SHARE"

⚠️ If you get an error like 'IDX10653: The encryption algorithm 'http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#hmac-sha256' requires a key size of at least '128' bits. Key '[PII of type 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SymmetricSecurityKey' is hidden. For more details, see https://aka.ms/IdentityModel/PII.]', is of size: '8'. (Parameter 'key')'' your JWT Key may need to be longer in length ⚠️

2. you would need to run in Visual Studio Package Manager : add-migration MigrationName or Run dotnet ef migrations add MigrationName
3. You should now be able to build and run 👍
