Currency Fetcher is Web API project to fetch data from https://sdw-wsrest.ecb.europa.eu/help/ web service and generate currency information based on

• The currency being measured (e.g.: US dollar - code USD),
• The currency against which a currency is being measured (e.g.: Euro - code EUR),
• With range of dates

To set up web service read below informations:

• CurrencyFetcherApi - Main project contains web api controllers
• CurrencyFetcherApi.Tests - Unit tests project for CurrencyFetcherApi project
• CurrencyFetcher.Core - Core project contains Services, model, entities, db context classes
• CurrencyFetcher.Core.Tests - Unit tests project for CurrencyFetcher.Core project
• CurrencyFetcherApi.IntegrationTests - Project with integration and performance tests
• IntegrationTests - TextFixture of integrations tests
• PerformanceTests - TextFixture of performance tests

1. To set up web service change connection strings value in localizations:

• {path_to_repo}/webAPI/CurrencyFetcherApi/CurrencyFetcherApi/appsettings.json
• change ConnectionString value into own database connection string
• Provide the connection string in second localization:

$ {path_to_repo}/webAPI/CurrencyFetcherApi/CurrencyFetcherApi/NLog.config

in node:

$ targets/target.connectionString

This configures nlog logger to save logs into database

2. Install dotnet ef tool. The installation link is below: https://docs.microsoft.com/pl-pl/ef/core/miscellaneous/cli/dotnet

3. Run any common line terminal tool and move to directory: {path_to_repo}/webAPI/CurrencyFetcherApi/CurrencyFetcher.Core/

4. Run command:

$ dotnet ef database update

After that scripts will create database and configure it to use web service. Run application with any c# editor like Visual Studio 2019 and on screen will be show Swagger UI to help communicate with web api service

Dillinger uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• ASP.NET Core 3.1 - The better vesion of MVC 5
• Entity Framework - The data access technology that provide functionality to work with database with linq queries
• Entity Framework Migrations - The solution to provide migrations that can build databases by code
• Sql Server - The great database engine provide fexibility and is excelent to work with Enity Framework
• JWT - JSON web token to provide login functionality
• nlog - To better create logger functionlity in service
• nUnit - The ane of the best solution for creating unit tests
• Moq - To mock interfaces as testing object in test scenarioes
• Swagger - To better tests service by Swagger UI
