Welcome to the test oriented to API for Lodgify candidates.

Please follow the instructions, clone (or donwload) the repository into your Computer.
When you finish zip it and send it to us by email.

Thank you and good luck!

We want an C# .net core Web Application API project that meet our requisites, we provide you the solution skeleton and a few features implemented to save time.

The API must follow the RESTless architecture and the resources must be formatted in JSON with SnakeCase.

You will find the Data layer is implemented and is instructed to be a In-Memory Database. Please do not modify the Data layer Entities.

The application represents a Cinema. We want to manage the showtimes of the cinema, feeding some data from the IMDB API.

An Authentication Scheme is already implemented that work with a very simple token. You will need to use the following values in the request headers depend the case, more explained in detail further:

Read-only Token Header Name: ApiKey | Header Value : MTIzNHxSZWFk

Write Token Header Name: ApiKey | Header Value : Nzg5NHxXcml0ZQ==

To use the IMDB API you will need to create an account to get an Api Key to use with their system.

Create the classes for the following Resources

Showtime

id : int
start_date : DateTime
end_date : DateTime,
schedule : string
movie : Movie
auditorium_id : int

Movie

title : string
imdb_id : string
starts: string
release_date : DateTime

IMDB Status

up : boolean
last_call : DateTime

We want an API controller named ShowtimeController with the following methods:

• GET : Get All Showtimes,

  • optionally it can be filtered by a date (QueryString) that should match the current showtimes in projection.
  • optionally it can be queried by movie title (QueryString).

• POST : Creates a showtime using a Showtime resource in the payload. The movie property must come only with the imdb_id and the rest of the values will be filled calling the IMDB API. For the auditorium_id use one of the already created Auditoriums, Ids: 1, 2 or 3.

• PUT : Updates the Showtime resource, if the movie property comes null is ignored. if not the data is updated using the imdb_id and calling the IMDB API.

• DELETE : Deletes a Showtime by Id.

• PATCH : Throws an Error 500, for testing the error handling. Read Error Handling after.

We also want antoher controller named StatusController with the follwing method:

• GET : Get the current IMDB Status (read the next line). We want a backgorund task that calls the IMDB API, you can use any method you prefer or the main webpage, and update the Status into a Singleton object IMDB Status every 60 seconds.

To complete the API Controller implementation you will need to complete the implementation of ShowtimesRepository.

As we explained before we added the Authentication, so you don't have to implement. But we want you to implement the Authorization policies.

We ask you to create 2 Authorization policies.

• Read : It allows to access if you use the Read-only Token.
  • Enforce the policy on the GET method of ShowtimeController.
• Write : It allows to access if you use the Write Token.
  • Enforce the policy on the non GET methods of ShowtimeController.

We want to track the execution time of call in ShowtimeController and log in the Console. Be default we set the loggers to log in the Console, so you only need to worry to get the Logger in the code. Track the execution time without adding code inside the ShowtimeController, find a way.

We want to handle the errors in the Controller ShowtimeController. Find a way to do it without adding code inside the ShowtimeController.

We added a file next to this readme named cUrls.txt. Please add the cURLs of the requests you will do in the file.

You can add any feedback you want to send us in the file Feedback.md located next to this file.
