WebApi Movie Rest is a sample ASP.NET Web API application providing a restful interface for maintaining imdb movie records.

• Uses Entity Framework for persistence
• Uses Simple Injector for IOC
• Supports both json and xml media types specified either in the content-type header or at the end of the uri (uri.json or uri.xml)
• Responses follow the JSON API ID style
• BDD style unit and integration tests
• Uses a request / response / handler style of architecture
• Uses SwaggerUI for documentation

There are two configuration files that need to be modified before running this application

• src\IntegrationTests\App.config - The connection string in this configuration file points to the database used for the integration tests. This database will be deleted / re-created each time the integration tests are run so make sure the database name is different from the database name used for the application (below).

• src\Web\Web.config - The connection string in this configuration file points to the database used for the application.

> build.bat

Cleans and builds the application then runs the unit tests followed by the integration tests. The tests will generate reports in the "build" directory.

Simply open the solution file and press F5 (Debug -> Start Debugging). You can use your favourite Visual Studio test runner (i.e. resharper) to run the unit and integration tests.
