Introduction In my previous articles, we’ve covered quite a journey through JWT authentication in ASP.NET Core Minimal API. Part 1 introduced the basics using the dotnet user-jwts tool, providing a foundation for securing APIs during development. Part 2 took us deeper into manual token generation and validation, showing how to implement production-ready JWT authentication with full control over the process. However, […]
Introduction In the previous chapter, we discussed How to Use xUnit for Unit Testing in .NET Projects Using C# in VSCode, highlighting the importance of unit testing in software development. Today, we will dive into the Moq library, a powerful tool for creating mock objects in .NET unit tests. Moq allows developers to isolate and […]
Introduction In software development, it’s crucial to make sure your code works correctly. One of the best ways to do this is through unit testing. Unit testing means testing small parts of your software, like a single function or method, to make sure they work as expected. In this article, we will learn how to […]
Introduction to Entity Framework Core Migrations In the previous articles, I discussed how to integrate SQLite with a .NET console application using C# and VSCode, and how to use Dapper for data access. You can find those articles at these links: SQLite with .NET Console Application, Using Dapper and Entity Framework Core in .NET Applications. […]
