Hello and welcome to my API project.

This program is a simple web API built using REST architecture where the goal is to showcase and store data within a local database themed around a School.

The functions include and aren't limited to the following;

• Store basic information such as First and Last names of students, but also their phone number.

• Store interests of each student. These interests typically has a title and a description.

• Store multiple interests per student that can be shared among other students. Creating a link.

  To use this API to it's full potential i would recommend downloading and installing an API development program such as Postman. Docker, Swagger, or my personal choice: Insomnia

The following commands are used in this project to pull and push data to and from the Database.

POST is used to push and store data into the database using the DTOs.

GET is used to pull data from the database in accordance with the ViewModels.

GET COMMANDS:

/interests

/interests/{search?}

/people

/people/{search?}

/people/{personId}/interests

/people/{personId}/interests/links

PUSH COMMANDS:

/interests

/people

/people/{personId}/interests/{interestId}

/people/{personId}/interests/{interestId}/links/

The following ER Diagram and UML Diagram are meant to demonstrate how the program works in theory.
