Rent A Car - FullStack Project

It is a full stack car rental web site project.

Back-End

On the back-end side, asp.net entity framework core 5.0 version is used. The project has 3 basic layers, that are data access, business logic and API, and a core layer for shared needs.

The project was created based on the use of interfaces as reference holders in order to make changes easily in case of need, considering the possibility of change in the technologies used.

Core Layer

The core layer, created for to be used in every project.

Data Access

It has base repository interface that can be implemented by base repository that uses an ORM technology. In this project, entity framework core is used to create the base repository.

Entities

All of the entities must have to implement the IEntity interface so that the entity can be used with generic repository operations. Also, Dto's (data access objects) must have to implement the IDto interface. Users, OperationClaims, and UserOperationClaims entities have been created on this layer. Operation claims, stand for authorizations (roles) based on operations. User operations laims are held in UserOperationClaims.

Aspects

Validation

Validation tool created by using FluentValidation and the tool used in Validation aspect to check whether the entity sent by client is valid. For the entity that needs validaiton checks, a validator must be created by using FluentValidation. e.g. CarValidator. And then, validation aspect can be used on top of the desired methods' like ValidationAspect(typeof(CarValidator).

Caching

For caching, microsoft's in-memory cache used. MemoryCacheManager implements, ICacheManager. ICacheManager enables us to use other caching technologies by just implementing from it. Cache manager used in Cache Aspect and Cache Remove Aspect.

Cache ascpect, caches the returned data from tha database as a result of an operation. [CacheAspect] must be placed on top of the desired operation to cache data. Look for example usage It caches data with a specified key that indludes, related service name and operation type(Get, Post etc.). E.g. ICarService.Get

Cache remove aspect, removes from the cache when an operation runs. Cache remove aspect mostly used with operations that manipulates data, such as add, remove and update. Explained usage: [CacheRemoveAspect("ICarService.Get")] can be placed on top off the operations that are adds, deletes or updates the data. It removes the data that has the key as ICarService.Get from the cache, when the operation runs.

Performance Management

To monitor the performance of the related operation, the Performance aspect can be used. If the operations runtime exceeds the given interval it writes to the specified place. Performance asspect must be placed on top of the related operartion with the time interval of type integer. E.g. PerformanceAspect(5)

Transaction Scope

Instead of creating transaction scope in the operation, the Transaction scope aspect can be placed on top of the operation. In this way, the operation placed into the transaction scope. If an error occurs while the operation runs, all of the transactions undone. E.g. TransactionScopeAspect

Dependency Resolvers

It involves IoC injections that are related with the Core layer and loads general dependencies for the project.

Utilities

Business rules (Business engine for the logics)

An operation's business logics should transformed into a method and then sent Business Rules as a parameter. If any of the business logic method returns error, business rules returns that error too. E.g. CarImageManager - Add

Results

Result structure helps us to create a standardized return type for the operations. For the operations that are void, IResult can be used. For the successful results, SuccessResult, for the failed results ErrorResult can be used. Also, for operations that are not void, the IDataResult type can be used. SuccessDataResult and ErrorDataResult are the return types for operations. For the example usages, look into the manager classes.

Security

Hashing Helper For the security purposes, clients password first salted and then hashed with the security algorithm of HmacSha512.

Jwt Helper Json web token helper, creates token that includes issuer, audiencee, expires, claims with client name identifier, e-mail, name, and roles, and signing credentials.

Business Layer

Services and Manager placed on this layer.

Business Aspect

Secured operation handles operation-based authorizations. Compares user's role claims with the role permissions assigned to the related operation.

As a result of an operation, a message can be returned. To manage all of the messages in one place, static messages class created.

Dependency Resolvers

Autofac Business Module is an IoC container created by using Autofac.

Helpers

Automapper to map between entities and dtos.

Entities Layer

That includes entities and Dtos. There is an inheritance between User, Customer, and Individual customers and Corporate Customer entities. Individual Customer and Corporate Customer entities inherit from Customer entity and Customer entity inherit from User entity.

Data Access Layer

That includes fluent api configurations, context and entities' repositories.

WebApi

.NET 5.0 web api has been used to create rest api. All of the operations checks through postman. Token options placed into the appsettings.json file.

Front-End

On the front-end Angular framework -version 11.2.3- used. There is an admin panel to control entities. Admin can execute CRUD operations over cars, colors, brands, rentals, and customers. People can register the website, and the users can search through cars and rent a car that is available. There is also a fake payment component and credit card save function.
