Professional REST API design with ASP.NET Core and WebAPI

This project is an example of lightweight and extensible infrastructure for building RESTful Web API with ASP.NET Core.

This example contains a number of tricks and techniques which I've learned while building APIs in ASP.NET Core.

Techniques and Features

•  JWT Authentication
• Secure JWT using Encryption (JWE)
• Logging to File, Console and Database using Elmah & NLog
• Logging to sentry.io (Log Management System)
• Exception Handling using Custom Middleware
• Automatic Validation
• Standard API Resulting
• Dependency Injection using Autofac
• Map resources using AutoMapper
• Async/Await Best Practices
• Versioning Management
• Using Swagger (Swashbuckle)
• Auto Document Generator for Swagger
• Integrate Swagger and Versioning
• Integrate Swagger and JWT/OAuth Authentication
• Best Practices for Performance and Security

Problem / solution format brings an easier understanding on how to build things, giving an immediate feedback. Starting from this idea, the blog post will present step by step how to build

a web application to store your ideas in an easy way, adding text notes, either from desktop or mobile, with few characteristics: run fast, save on the fly whatever you write, and be reasonably reliable and secure.

This blog post will implement just the backend, WebApi and the database access, in the most simple way. Next blog post will cover the front end, using Angular. Then, there will be an additional article on how to increase the performance and the security.
