ContactHub 📇

This project contains a sample ASP.NET Core app. This app is an example of the article I produced for the Telerik Blog (telerik.com/blogs).

Welcome to ContactHub, an ASP.NET Core 7 Minimal API application!

🚀 This application is designed to help you learn SOLID principles while exploring CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using an SQLite database.

Features 🌟

✅ Create, Read, Update, Delete: Easily manage your contacts with full CRUD functionality.

📁 SQLite Database: Utilize the lightweight and efficient SQLite database for data storage.

📚 Teaching SOLID Principles: This application is a great resource to understand and practice SOLID principles in real-world scenarios.

Prerequisites 🛠️

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

📋 .NET SDK installed.

Getting Started 🚗

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/zangassis/contact-hub.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ContactHub

3. Build and run the application:

   dotnet run

4. Open your web browser and go to https://localhost:5001 to access ContactHub.

Usage 💡

• Create: Add new contacts to your hub with relevant information.
• Read: Browse and view the details of your contacts.
• Update: Edit and update contact information as needed.
• Delete: Remove contacts that are no longer needed.

SOLID Principles 🧱

This application is a valuable resource for learning SOLID principles:

• S - Single Responsibility Principle: Each class has a single responsibility.
• O - Open/Closed Principle: Code is open for extension but closed for modification.
• L - Liskov Substitution Principle: Derived classes can substitute their base classes.
• I - Interface Segregation Principle: Clients should not be forced to implement interfaces they don't use.
• D - Dependency Inversion Principle: High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules; both should depend on abstractions.
