The ContosoPizza API is a demonstration project showcasing a simple, in-memory RESTful API for managing pizza orders. Built with ASP.NET Core, this API supports basic CRUD operations and provides a solid foundation for understanding how web APIs work in .NET environments.

Before you start, ensure you have the following installed:

• .NET 6 SDK or later
• A preferred code editor (Visual Studio, VS Code, etc.)
• Postman or a similar tool for testing API endpoints

To get the project running on your machine, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/realYushi/ContosoPizza-API.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ContosoPizza

3. Restore dependencies:

   dotnet restore

4. Start the application:

   dotnet run

The launchSettings.json file in the project defines how the application should be launched, especially in development environments. Here's a quick overview of its sections:

Configures settings for running the application with IIS Express, including authentication modes and application URLs.

Defines various launch profiles for the application:

• https: For launching the application with HTTPS support.
• http: For launching the application using HTTP.
• IIS Express: For running the application through IIS Express with predefined environment variables and launch URLs.

Each profile includes settings for launching the browser, specifying the launch URL, defining application URLs, and setting environment variables.

You can specify the launch profile directly when running the application using the .NET CLI:

dotnet run --launch-profile http

Or, if you are using Visual Studio, you can select the launch profile from the debug menu.
