# Hello World Application (MVC, OOP, API)

## Requirements ##

1. The program has 1 current business requirement a write Hello World to the console/screen.

2. The program should have an API that is separated from the program logic to eventually support mobile applications, web applications, console applications or windows services.

3. The program should support future enhancements for writing to a database, console application, etc.

   * Use common design patterns (inheritance, e.g.) to account for these future concerns.

   * Use configuration files or another industry standard mechanism for determining where to write the information to.

4. Write unit tests to support the API.

## Tools Used ##

 * Visual Studio 2017

 * NuGet Package Manager

 * Entity Framework - Code First

 * Local DB \ProjectsV13 (may differ from your setup)

 * Bootstrap 4 Alpha

 * Angular 1

 * Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi

## Initial Thought Process ##

* Add two inputs, first name and last name

  * Valiate these inputs on the client side, formvalidation.io or built in validators?

    * Fiels cannot be empty and must be strings not integers

  * Send these inputs to our process page which will include a class with 5 different methods

    * method 1: Grab values from the form and send each value to method 2.

    * method 2: Verify that the values from the form are valid using the previous validation methods but include a regex to parse out any special characters suchs [$,&,&,.] - Use this method when using the API. If false print result back to the page

    * method 3: See if the first and last name are a match in the db, if not then add. 

      * SELECT * FROM names WHERE fname="" AND lname =""; 

    * method 4: Concatinate the strings together if they are valid from method 2

    * method 5: Proceed to add "Hello, World Firstname Lastname" to the page using razor syntax

* Have an API page

  * Grab all values form db and list them on a page

  * ?firstname="string"&lastname="string"

    * return the item form the db and list as json for use in another application

    * return false message if firstname or lastname are not valid using regex from method 2 or if empty

    * return false if using other search parameter and notify the user of their mistake. 

    

## After Thoughts ##

1. AngularJS writes Hello World to page

2. The app includes an API to return added names

3. Controller inherits from DbContext when using Entity Framework

4. Help pages help the user to know how to return information from the API

5. MVC kicks butt!
