.NET npm dependency server

A web server that provides a basic HTTP api for querying the dependency tree of an npm package.

Prerequisites

• .NET 5

Getting Started

To install dependencies and start the server in development mode:

cd Snyk.Exercise.WebApi
dotnet watch run

The server will now be running on an available port (defaulting to 5001 for HTTPS, 5000 for HTTP) and will restart on changes to the src files.

Then we can try the /package endpoint. Here is an example that uses curl and jq, but feel free to use any client.

curl -s https://localhost:5001/package/react/16.13.0 | jq .

Most of the code is boilerplate; the logic for the /package endpoint can be found in Controllers/PackageController.cs, and some basic tests in PackageControllerTest.cs

You can run the tests with:

dotnet test

# Or in watch mode
cd Snyk.Exercise.WebApi.Test
dotnet watch test
