This Project follows a layered architecture, which is a good practice for building scalable and maintainable applications. Each layer has its specific responsibilities, making the codebase modular and easy to understand. This clean separation of concerns keeps things organized and manageable, making maintenance and testing easy.

Additional Codes or Features

1. Nuget packages installation

• Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore: Installed in Domain project
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore: Added in Data Layer
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer: Installed in Data Layer
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools: Installed in Data Layer

2. ApplicationUser and ApplicationRole Creation

• Utilizing ASP.NET Core Identity framework.

• Creation of Identity tables using generated migrations.

6. Seeding Implementation

• Initialization of default roles.
• Customizable seeding process

7. Utilizing Extensions in C#

• In-depth exploration of extension methods, showcasing their versatility in enhancing existing types and functionality in C#.
• Practical examples illustrating various scenarios where extension methods can be applied, empowering developers to leverage C# language features effectively.

Get Started

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/WanjohiSammy/Ep.3-Car-Rental-API.git

2. Add appsettings.Development.json file in CarRental.Api layer:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
    }
  },
