The Image-Generator solution is built with .NET 8 and consists of two main projects:
- ImageGenerator.API: This project includes the REST API, Postgres SQL database integration, repository, services, and controllers.
- ImageGenerator.Test: This project contains unit tests for the service and controller layers, using mocking and the In-Memory Database feature of Entity Framework Core.
The solution is containerized with Docker and includes a docker-compose file for easy setup and deployment.
- REST API for saving random animal pictures (cats, dogs, bears) to a database.
- REST API for fetching the last saved picture of an animal.
- Automated unit tests that mock services and test both service and controller layers.
- Containerized application for streamlined deployment.
- .NET 8 SDK installed on your system.
- Docker Desktop installed and running.
- PostgreSQL client for database access (optional for direct access).
- Make sure local dev certificate is avaliable & trusted
