This repository contains a minimal API built with .NET Framework 8.0. The primary goal of this project is to illustrate the concept of Dependency Injection (DI) and how it can be implemented in a .NET application.

Dependency Injection (DI) is a design pattern used to achieve Inversion of Control (IoC) between classes and their dependencies. In simpler terms, DI allows a class to receive its dependencies from an external source rather than creating them itself. This makes the code more modular, easier to test, and more maintainable.

Benefits of Dependency Injection:

• Decoupling: Reduces the tight coupling between classes and their dependencies.
• Testability: Makes it easier to inject mock dependencies, facilitating unit testing.
• Maintainability: Simplifies the process of changing dependencies without modifying the classes that use them.
• Flexibility: Enables swapping implementations of dependencies without changing the dependent class.

• .NET SDK 8.0

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/minimal-api-di.git
   cd minimal-api-di

2. Build the project

    dotnet build

3. Run the project

    dotnet run

The minimal API includes a simple endpoint for demonstration purposes. Once the project is running, you can interact with the API using tools like curl or Postman.
