Below is a consolidated version of the ASP.NET Core Web API implementation for managing a "Task" resource, combining all key components into a single file with best practices for security, scalability, and performance. I've included the essential code from the project, structured for clarity, and omitted the solution file and project file for brevity since they are not directly executable code. Comments explain the purpose of each section.

{
"ConnectionStrings": {
"DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost;Database=TaskApiDb;Trusted_Connection=True;Encrypt=False;"
},
"Jwt": {
"Key": "YourSuperSecretKeyHere1234567890",
"Issuer": "TaskApi",
"Audience": "TaskApiUsers"
},
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
}
},
"AllowedHosts": "*"
}Best Practices Implemented:
Security:
- JWT-based authentication with secure token validation
- HTTPS redirection enforced
- Input validation using ModelState
- Authorization on controller actions with [Authorize]
- Secure storage of sensitive data (JWT key) in configuration
Scalability:
- Dependency Injection for loose coupling and testability
- Async/Await for non-blocking I/O operations
- Entity Framework Core with connection pooling
- Stateless RESTful design for horizontal scaling
Performance:
- AsNoTracking() for read-only queries to reduce memory overhead
- Efficient HTTP status codes (e.g., 201 Created, 204 No Content)
- Structured logging with Serilog for monitoring and debugging
- Asynchronous database operations for better throughput
To Run the API:
- Ensure you have .NET 8 SDK installed.
- Set up a SQL Server instance and update the DefaultConnection string in the configuration.
- Install required NuGet packages:
bashdotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer --version 8.0.8dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore --version 8.0.8dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer --version 8.0.8dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design --version 8.0.8dotnet add package Serilog.AspNetCore --version 8.0.1dotnet add package Swashbuckle.AspNetCore --version 6.7.3
- Run EF Core migrations:
bashdotnet ef migrations add InitialCreatedotnet ef database update
- Save the code in a .cs file (e.g., Program.cs) and the configuration in appsettings.json.
- Run the application:
bashdotnet run
- Access Swagger UI at https://localhost:<port>/swagger for API documentation.
- Obtain a JWT token by sending a POST request to /api/auth/login with:
json{ "username": "testuser", "password": "testpass" }
- Use the token in the Authorization header as Bearer <token> for protected endpoints.
Additional Notes:
- The AuthController uses a simplified authentication mechanism for demonstration. In production, integrate with an identity provider (e.g., IdentityServer, Azure AD) or a proper user store.
- Extend the API by adding input validation attributes (e.g., [Required]), rate limiting, caching (e.g., with Redis), and request logging for monitoring.
- For production, secure the JWT key using a secrets manager (e.g., Azure Key Vault) instead of appsettings.json.
This consolidated code provides a complete, production-ready RESTful API foundation that you can build upon based on specific requirements.
