IT3045C Final Project API (NET 8, EF Core, NSwag)

This is a ready-to-run template for your final project. It uses:

• .NET 8 Web API
• Entity Framework Core (Code-First) with SQL Server LocalDB
• NSwag for OpenAPI/Swagger UI
• Four controllers: TeamMembers, Hobbies, FavoriteFoods, WorkoutPlans

Quick Start (Visual Studio 2022/2025)

1. Open the solution by opening FinalProjectAPI.csproj in Visual Studio.
2. Open Package Manager Console (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Package Manager Console)
3. Run EF Core migrations:

   Add-Migration InitialCreate
   Update-Database

4. Press F5 to run. Browser should open at /swagger.
5. Test CRUD endpoints in Swagger UI. GET /api/TeamMembers/{id?} returns first 5 when id is null or 0.

Nullable id behavior

Each GET {id?} endpoint accepts a nullable id. When id is null or 0, it returns the first 5 items. Otherwise it returns the entity by id or 404.

Seeding

On startup, after migrations, the app seeds sample rows if the tables are empty.
