This is the backend API for the Civicd mobile application. It is written in C# using the .NET Web API 2 framework. The project is set up to connect to a SQL database using Entity Framework.

To get started, make sure you have the following installed:

Visual Studio Community https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/

SQL Server Management Studio https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms

After you first pull or clone the project, you will need to make changes to CivicdAPI/connections.config.example. Copy this file and take off the .example, renaming it to connections.config. Do NOT delete or rename the original connections.config.example.

Replace "Valid Connection String" with the connection string to your local database.

You can set up a database using Server Explorer. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z6sa01t4.aspx

The connection string can also be retrieved through Server Explorer. Right click on the database and select "Properties". A panel on the bottom right of your screen will list the connection string.

In the Package Manager Console, run the command "update-database". This will create the database tables, as well as populate them with test data.

The following users will be created in your local database. The password for each is "Password1!".
