- Fork the repository and clone it to your local machine. For documentation on how to do this, please visit: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo
- Open the project locally
- Create a new branch in the newly forked repo using the naming convention yourFirstName_yourLastName. This is where your work should be saved.
- Run the project from the LvvlStarterNetApi.Api folder using
dotnet run - The application will start on http://localhost:5000
- To better understand the workflow process, view this video on how to fork a repository, and open a pull request to merge branches within a forked repository
This is a simple REST application for serving a blog.
It uses dotnet core 5.0, C#, and data is stored in a Mongo database.
Currently the application has 2 endpoints:
1) Get all blog posts - Get at api/blog
2) Get blog post by Id - Get at api/blog{id}
3) To add a blog post - Post at api/blog
4) Delete a blog post - Delete at api/blog/id
Your task is to add a commenting feature.
You should add two new endpoints.
1) Post at api/blog{1}/comment - which should create a new comment for a post with passed {id}
2) Get at api/blog{1}/comment - which should return all comments for a post with passed {id}
Under the resources folder are example json files for both a Blog and a Comment.
Feel free to modify existing files or create new files. You may add new dependencies if you choose. Please follow the conventions in place throughout the project.
For this project, a MongoDB will be needed in order to store all your data.
In order to startup the DB. Download MongoDB and MongoDB Compass to your local setup.
- Once installed. On your local go to where you would like to store your data.
- Create a folder called "data/db"
- Once created, run "mongodb --dbpath $PATH/data/db" where $PATH is the local route to the db folder.
- This should startup your local MongoDB. Connect to your local MongoDB via MongoDB Compass with is connection string.
mongodb://localhost:27017/?readPreference=primary&appname=MongoDB%20Compass&directConnection=true&ssl=false
- From there create collections and documents as you see fit.
You may use any internet sources to aid your implementation.

When you are finished, create a Pull Request in Github for the forked repository. This Pull Request should compare your created branch to the main branch. Email the link to your Pull Request to nicole.niemczycki@endava.com at least 24 hours prior to your technical interview
Again, please make sure your Pull Request is comparing the new branch you created on your forked repo to the main branch on your forked repo. The initial repository you forked off of should NOT be referenced.
