Overview

This application uses .NET core to provide an ordering API.

Project structure

This repository uses .NET Core, Docker.

It contains the following endpoints:

  • health/live

    • Returns the health status of the service.
  • health/ready

    • Returns the health status of the service dependacies

The application is broken down into the following project libraries:

  • API
    • Defines and exposes the available Buying Catalogue Ordering endpoints.
  • API.UnitTests
    • Contains all of the unit tests for the API project.
  • API.IntegrationTests
    • Contains all of the integration tests for the API project.
  • Ordering.OrderingDatabase
    • Defines the artefacts for the Ordering database.

Database project

The database project is a SQL Server project, which is only fully supported by Visual Studio on Windows. However, some limited functionality should still be available in other editors.

When making changes to the database make sure to remove the Docker volume as described below before running the application.

How to connect
From Host Port TLS
outside the docker network localhost 5104 X

Navigate yourself to localhost:5104/health/live to view the health status of the service

Running the Application

To start up the web application, run the following command from the root directory of the repository.

docker-compose up -d --build

This will start the application in a docker container. You can verify that the service has launched correctly by navigating to the following urls via any web browser.

http://localhost:5104//health/live
http://localhost:5104//health/ready

If both URLs return 'Healthy', the environment is configured correctly, and can be accessed via the public endpoints.

If the ready URL returns 'Unhealthy', the associated dependencies of the application may have failed to launch, or cannot be accessed.

To stop the application

To stop the application, run the following command from the root directory of the repository, which will stop the service within the docker container.

docker-compose down -v

Running the Integration Tests

Start the application as described in running the application and run the integration tests using your preferred test runner.
