To run this project you will have to have dotnet sdk 2.0 installed.

Alternatively you can use a version of Visual Studio that supports dotnet core. You can verify that you have 2.x sdk installed by typing dotnet --version in a shell.

1. clone the repository git clone https://github.com/oleachka/VAutoAnswer.git

2. cd into the root folder.

3. Run the following

   dotnet restore        # restore nuget packages
   dotnet build          # build solution
   dotnet run -p Answer  # run the console app in project Answer.csproj

This solution has 2 projects

• A services project called AutoClient. This is where all the logic and models live that allow you to communicate with the API
• A console app project called Answer. This project consumes the AutoClient library to get the answer.

All comunication with the API is done via the IVAutoService interface. This way if this was a larger project we could use dependency injection to inject it into a Controller of some sort. Since this is a tiny console app we are just creating the instance manually.

All operations that talk the the server API are async and utilize the HttpClient and Newtonsoft.Json packages to communicate and serialize/deserialize data. All data is hydrated into objects defined in the Models folder of the AutoClient project.

Performance is optimized by getting all the vehicles in parallel using the .Net Task library. This allows us to have all the vehicles retrieved in the same time that it would take to retrieve the longest request (4s). Same technique is used for retrieving dealers.
