Clinic Management App 🩺

Overview 📖

The Clinic Management App is a scalable, maintainable web application built with ASP.NET Core, designed to manage clinic data with full CRUD operations.

It follows Clean Architecture principles, incorporates design patterns like Repository and Mediator, and uses SQL Server for data storage with Entity Framework Core and MediatR for request handling.

---

Features ✨

• 🛠️ CRUD Operations: Create, Read, Update, and Delete clinics (name, address, contact number)
• 🧩 Design Patterns:
  • 📚 Repository: Abstracts data access
  • 🔄 Mediator: Decouples request handling using MediatR
• 🏛️ Clean Architecture: Separation of concerns across Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and API layers
• 🚨 Error Handling: Global exception middleware for consistent error responses

---

Technologies 🛠️

• Backend: ASP.NET Core (C#), Entity Framework Core, SQL Server
• Libraries: MediatR

2. Configure the Backend 🖥️ Database Setup 🗄️ Ensure SQL Server LocalDB is installed (comes with Visual Studio or .NET SDK).

Update the connection string in ClinicManagementApp.Api/appsettings.json:

json Copy Edit { "ConnectionStrings": { "DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB;Initial Catalog=ClinicManagementDb;Trusted_Connection=True;" } } Run EF Core Migrations: bash Copy Edit cd ClinicManagementApp.Infrastructure dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate --startup-project ../ClinicManagementApp.Api dotnet ef database update --startup-project ../ClinicManagementApp.Api 3. Build and Run the Backend 🚀 bash Copy Edit cd ClinicManagementApp.Api dotnet build dotnet run The API will be available at: https://localhost:5001

Access Swagger UI at: https://localhost:5001/swagger

Usage 🚀 You can interact with the API via Swagger UI or a tool like Postman.

Example: Create Clinic POST /api/clinics

json Copy Edit { "name": "ENT Clinic", "address": "123 Health St, City", "phoneNumber": "555-123-3216", "email": "Ent.gmail.com" } API Endpoints POST /api/clinics → Create a clinic

GET /api/clinics → Retrieve all clinics

GET /api/clinics/{id} → Retrieve clinic by ID

PUT /api/clinics/{id} → Update a clinic

DELETE /api/clinics/{id} → Delete a clinic

Design Patterns 🧩 📚 Repository: Abstracts data access in ClinicRepository

🔄 Mediator: Uses MediatR for decoupled request handling (e.g., CreateClinicCommand, GetAllClinicsQuery)
