My project is a clean-architecture based .NET application designed to interact with and manage data from an iTunes-like database.

Project Overview

The project is structured to showcase best practices in building a maintainable, scalable, and testable application. It separates concerns into distinct layers:

• Core: Foundation elements like generic repository interfaces, base entities, and custom result-handling mechanisms
• DataAccess: Using Entity Framework Core for interaction with a local SQL Server database. It implements a generic repository pattern for CRUD operations.
• Business: Implements the business logic using managers that depend on abstractions from the DataAccess layer. It handles the orchestration of data operations and applies business rules.
• Entities: Defines the domain models that represent the database entities.
• Web API: Web API using Autofac

Features

• Layered Architecture: Clear separation of concerns.
• Generic Repository Pattern: CRUD operations for couple of entities
• Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): Business logic depends on abstractions, enhancing flexibility and testability
• Result: Handling of operation outcomes (success/failure, messages, data).
• Entity Framework Core: EF Core for object-relational mapping with a SQL Server database.
• CRUD Operations: Supports basic Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations for Albums, Artists, and Tracks.
• Specific Queries: Includes examples of filtered queries.
