Mastering ASP.NET Web API

API Test

Let's try and replicate our API test. Create a new .Net Core project named PuhoiAPI.xUnit.Tests, and change the project.json file as follows.

Add an appsettings.json file with the following entry:

    { 
      "baseUri": "http://localhost:5000/api/" 
    } 

Add a class named StoresControllerShould as done previously. Copy RedStoreModel and GreenStoreModel as previously set out.

This the constructor:

    public StoresControllerShould() 
    { 
       var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder().AddJsonFile("appsettings.json"); 
       var config = builder.Build(); 
       _baseUri = config[_configurationBaseUri]; 
       _jsonSerializer = new JsonSerializer(); 
    } 

We use the ConfigurationBuilder class to read our appsettings file, which is in a JSON format.

This is different from what we have ...
