Developer Feedback to sample web application

Changes & improvements to the source test project

backend:

• integration of entity framework and replacement of native sql queries
• use of dependency injection to decouple service implementation and instantiation in controllers
• adding development/production settings configuration
• adding contracts (dto) for API communication

frontend:

• improved styling of order data
• generated contracts data (dto, services) from swagger api
• fixed frontend tests
• decoupling of services to interfaces

Further improvements which I would consider to increase quality level of the project.

• add backend tests to cover service calls, calculation logic
• add authentication to backend+frontend
• adding logging & metrics to capture additional information on usage

For larger projects it would certainly make sense to take care of the following:

frontend:

• integrate state handling
• interceptors for error (http, network) handling
• routing (lazy/eager loaded)
• user handling and permissions
• splitting up in core and feature/shared projects
• e2e tests
• translation handling

backend:

• use of repositories
• base classes to support crud operations on entities
• data validation
• user & permission handling
• split up in several projects like core, contracts, domain, service, tests
• transaction handling

BrainWare Order List

This is a very small sample web application written in a very simplistic manner.

Grab the code and refactor it so that it meets your standard for production ready code.

There is no need to add additional functionality and you do not need to keep the existing code or project structure.

The only requirement is that it returns the list of orders and that it meets your standards!

Fork this project to your personal repo and commit all your changes to that branch.

Changes for Running Locally

Update the connection string in the class \Api\Infrastructure\Database.cs.
