Template-Web-Api

Template Web API with individual user accounts and without, ninject, automapper set up.

How to use it

1. Open solution in VS
2. Replace in files - TemplateWebApi with the desired name
3. Rename the solution and all the projects - replacing TemplateWebApi with the desired name
4. Rename all default namespaces and assembly names in all projects properties - replacing TemplateWebApi with the desired name
5. Close VS
6. Rename all the projects folders in Windows - replacing TemplateWebApi with the desired name
7. Start the solution in VS
8. All the projects can not be found
9. Remove the project one by one and Add Existing Project to the folders by navigating to the desired one
10. Select Web.Api to be starting project
11. Delete all bin, obj and packages folders
12. Build, Start, Done

• Delete all bin, obj and packages folders - if something breaks, delete them again and restart the solution
• If you do not follow the steps references will not be saved. They are:
  • TemplateWebApi.Common - none
  • TemplateWebApi.Data - TemplateWebApi.Data.Models
  • TemplateWebApi.Data.Common - TemplateWebApi.Data
  • TemplateWebApi.Data.Models - none
  • TemplateWebApi.Services.Data - TemplateWebApi.Data.Common, TemplateWebApi.Data.Models
  • TemplateWebApi.Web.Api - all
  • TemplateWebApi.Web.Infrastructure - none

Step-By-Step implementation

1. Blank Solution - the name of the app
2. Folders - Data, Services, Web
3. Generating Projects
   • for Data - where browse to add \Data
     • the name of the app.Data
     • the name of the app.Models

Adding in Web the WebApi

4. Delete

   • Scripts
   • Views
   • Fonts
   • Areas
   • AppData
   • Content
   • favicon
   • Project Readme
   • Bundle Config
   • Filter Config
   • Route Config
   • Home Controller
   • Values Controller???

5. After build removing the unused from Global.asax

6. From IdentityModels extract ApplicationUser to Data.Models

7. Adding through Manage NuGet for solution adding EntityFramework and Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework for Data.Models and Data

8. Adding references after build

9. From IdentityModels extract ApplicationDbContext to Data

10. Fix Usings and References

11. Delete IdentityModels

12. Package Manager Console - enable-migrations for Data

13. Making public static class DatabaseConfig in App_Start with namespace without App_Start at the end

14. In DatabaseConfig -
    public static void Initialize() { Database.SetInitializer(new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<ApplicationDbContext, Configuration>()); } and fix the Configuration class into Migrations to be public

15. Global.asax - DatabaseConfig.Initialize();

16. DatabaseConfig - Initialize - ApplicationDbContext.Create().Database.Initialize(true);

17. WebConfig - fixing connectionString

18. IdentityConfig - for password length and so on

19. For registering: POST - localhost:(your api)/api/Account/Register Headers - Content-Type - application/json Body - raw JSON - {"email":"ahansb@mail.com", "password":"123456", "confirmPassword":"123456"}

20. For getting authorization: POST - localhost:(your api)/Token Body - x-www-form-urlencoded username ahansb@mail.com password 123456 grant_type password Access Token is received after the post of type Bearer

21. AccountBindingModels - extract all classes with the same namespace

22. AccountViewModels - extract all classes with the same namespace

23. Fix all using in namespaces

24. Adding Data.Common - with GenericRepository copy/paste from old projects and in Contracts IGenericRepository

25. Adding in Services\TemplateWebApi.Services.Data

26. Adding in Data.Models template object with user and in ApplicationUser collection ot templates. Adding Templates into ApplicationDbContext.

27. Adding new TemplateController - Web API 2 Controller with actions, using Entity Framework. Adding [Authorization]

28. Adding Project View Models - TemplateReques and Response view models

29. Adding in Services.Data TemplatesService and ITemplatesService

30. Installing Ninject.Web.WebApi.WebHost in Web.Api

31. In NinjectWebCommon in RegisterServices - kernel.Bind().To();

32. Adiing in TemplatesService and ITemplatesService Add function

33. After Exception in NinjectWebCommon updating all 4 ninject

34. If exception when try to start - Multiple object sets per type are not supported. The object sets 'ApplicationUsers' and 'Users' can both contain instances of type 'TemplateWebApi.Data.Models.ApplicationUser'., remove in ApplicationDbContext - public System.Data.Entity.DbSet<TemplateWebApi.Data.Models.ApplicationUser> ApplicationUsers { get; set; }

35. Copy paste ninject register services -

36. Adding IApplicationDbContext

37. Adding through nuget ninject.extensions.conventions

38. Adding using Ninject.Extensions.Conventions; in NinjectWebCommon

39. Adding new project TemplateWebApi.Common with constants for assemblies

40. In Repository to use IApplicationDbContext not DbContext and property Context

41. Fixing TemplatesController with TemplatesService

42. Installing Automapper in Web.API

43. Making new project TemplateWebApi.Web.Infrastructure with mappings folder and installing Automapper:

    • AutomapperConfig
    • IHaveCustomMappings
    • IMapFrom
    • IMapTo
    • QueryableExtensions

44. Register in Global.asax Automapper - var autoMapperConfig = new AutoMapperConfig(); autoMapperConfig.Execute(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

45. Making BaseController for automapper

46. TemplatesController implement with automapper
