SDG-Backend-Barracuda
This is an ASP.NET Core Web API with a PostgreSQL backend, using Dapper for high-performance data access.
Prerequisites
PostgreSQL Database Setup
Follow these steps to set up your local PostgreSQL database:
1. Create Database and User
If you haven't already, create a database and a user with appropriate permissions. You can use psql or a tool like pgAdmin.
-- Create SDG-Backend-Admin
CREATE USER "SDG-Backend-Admin" WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password';
-- Create the database
CREATE DATABASE "SDG-Backend" OWNER "SDG-Backend-Admin";
2. Configure Connection String
Initialize User Secrets
Run this in the project directory (SDG-Backend-Barracuda\SDG-Backend-Barracuda):
dotnet user-secrets init
Set the Connection String
Replace password if you used a different one during setup:
dotnet user-secrets set "ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection" "Host=localhost;Database=SDG-Backend;Username=SDG-Backend-Admin;Password=password;Maximum Pool Size=100;"
Development
Installing Dependencies
The project uses Npgsql, Dapper, and Npgsql.DependencyInjection.
dotnet add package Npgsql
dotnet add package Dapper
dotnet add package Npgsql.DependencyInjection
Running the Application
From the root directory:
dotnet run --project SDG-Backend-Barracuda
