Using Static Files
Static files are assets such as images that we need for our application. In .NET, to use such files, we need an additional set up and I will work you through necessary steps in this writing.
Creating a Project with DB
Relational DB - Getting Data including Data from Other Entities (Generic Repository Pattern)
Let's see how we can get data from a primary entity that has reference to other entities with the generic repository pattern Implementation Creating an Application How to create .NET web-API Setting up development tools When working with .NET, we need tool
jin-co.tistory.com
DTO (Manipulating Image Path)
Data Transfer Object (DTO)
The Data Transfer Object(DTO) is a container that transfers the API data between layers. Using this container, we can manipulate the data or change the structure of the data. Let's see how Creating a Project Relational DB - Getting Data including Data from
jin-co.tistory.com
Implementation
Adding an Asset Folder and Adding Assets
Create a folder called 'wwwroot' under the webapi project
wwwroot
Folders and files under the wwwroot folder are the path to be used to request the assets. Create a folder to store images and add an image for testing
Right click the image and copy the path. We need what comes after the '/wwwroot/' to specify the path
Adding Service
Go to the Program.cs file and add the code below right above 'app.UseAuthorization();'
app.UseStaticFiles();
Run
Move to the API folder
cd /APIAnd run the app
dotnet watchClick the link (or copy and paste in the search bar)
Then it will show the image
In this writing, we have seen how we can use static files (assets).
