This is a straightforward blog API.

• Authentication and authorization using JWT tokens
• API endpoints for registering and logging in users
• API endpoints for retrieving, creating, updating and deleting posts
• API endpoints for retrieving, creating and deleting comments
• Clean architecture
• Unit tests for the application

This is a solution for a blog application, structured into several projects:

• Blog.Core: Contains the core business logic, DTOs, entities, interfaces, and services.
• Blog.Infrastructure: Contains the infrastructure logic, including the database context and repositories.
• Blog.UnitTests: Contains unit tests for the application.
• Blog.Api: The API project for the application.

To set up the project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/littlemoonstones/SimpleBlogApi.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd SimpleBlogApi

3. Add your JWT Key

dotnet user-secrets set "Jwt:Key" "your-key"

4. Restore the .NET packages:

dotnet restore

5. Build the project:

dotnet build

6. Run the application

dotnet run --project Blog.Api

dotnet test
