.Net + PostgreSQL + Vue.js 3 CRUD Application Example

In this section, we will learn how to develop a full-stack web application that is a basic User Management Application using .Net 6, PostgreSQL, Npgsql Entity Framework Core provider for PostgreSQL, and Vue.js 3. You could download the source code from our Github repository, the download link is provided at the end of this tutorial.


After completing this tutorial what we will build?

We will build a full-stack web application that is a basic User Management Application with CRUD features: 

• Create User 
• List User 
• Update User 
• Delete User


We divided this tutorial into two parts. 

PART 1 - Restful API Development with .Net 6 & PostgreSQL database. 
PART 2 - UI development using Vue.js 3.


PART 1 - Restful API Development with .Net 6 & PostgreSQL database.

These are APIs that .Net backend App will export:


Create database and table

First, you need to create a database in the PostgreSQL server. You can use the following command to create a database in the PostgresSQL server:
CREATE DATABASE testdb;


Create table:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.users
(
    id           serial primary key,
    email        VARCHAR(40) not null,
    first_name   VARCHAR(40) not null,
    last_name    VARCHAR(40) not null
);


Backend project directory:


User Entity

Path: /Entities/User.cs

The user entity class represents the data stored in the database for users.

namespace WebApi.Entities;

using System.Text.Json.Serialization;

public class User
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
 
}


App Exception

Path: /Helpers/AppException.cs

The app exception is a custom exception class used to differentiate between handled and unhandled exceptions in the .NET API. Handled exceptions are generated by application code and used to return custome error messages.

namespace WebApi.Helpers;

using System.Globalization;

public class AppException : Exception
{
    public AppException() : base() {}

    public AppException(string message) : base(message) { }

    public AppException(string message, params object[] args) 
        : base(String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, message, args))
    {
    }
}


AutoMapper Profile

Path: /Helpers/AutoMapperProfile.cs

AutoMapper is an object mapper that helps you transform one object of one type into an output object of a different type. This type of transformation is often needed when you work on business logic. In this example we're using it to map between User entities and a couple of different model types - CreateRequest and UpdateRequest.

namespace WebApi.Helpers;

using AutoMapper;
using WebApi.Entities;
using WebApi.Models.Users;

public class AutoMapperProfile : Profile
{
    public AutoMapperProfile()
    {
        // CreateRequest -> User
        CreateMap<CreateRequest, User>();

        // UpdateRequest -> User
        CreateMap<UpdateRequest, User>()
            .ForAllMembers(x => x.Condition(
                (src, dest, prop) =>
                {
                    // ignore both null & empty string properties
                    if (prop == null) return false;
                    if (prop.GetType() == typeof(string) && string.IsNullOrEmpty((string)prop)) return false;

                    return true;
                }
            ));
    }
}


Data Context

Path: /Helpers/DataContext.cs

The primary class that is responsible for interacting with data as objects is the DbContext. The recommended way to work with context is to define a class that derives from the DbContext and exposes the DbSet properties that represent collections of the specified entities in the context.

options.UseNpgsql(Configuration.GetConnectionString("ApiDatabase") configures Entity Framework to create and connect to an PostgreSQL database.

UseSnakeCaseNamingConvention(): This will automatically make all your table and column names have snake_case naming.

namespace WebApi.Helpers;

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using WebApi.Entities;

public class DataContext : DbContext
{
    protected readonly IConfiguration Configuration;

    public DataContext(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        Configuration = configuration;
    }

    protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder options)
    {
        // connect to postgres with connection string from app settings
        options.UseNpgsql(Configuration.GetConnectionString("ApiDatabase"))
        .UseSnakeCaseNamingConvention();
    }

    public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }
}


Global Error Handler Middleware

Path: /Helpers/ErrorHandlerMiddleware.cs

Using the global error handler, we can extract all the exception handling logic into a single centralized place. It's configured as middleware in the Program.cs file.

namespace WebApi.Helpers;

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net;
using System.Text.Json;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class ErrorHandlerMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
    private readonly ILogger _logger;

    public ErrorHandlerMiddleware(RequestDelegate next, ILogger<ErrorHandlerMiddleware> logger)
    {
        _next = next;
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public async Task Invoke(HttpContext context)
    {
        try
        {
            await _next(context);
        }
        catch (Exception error)
        {
            var response = context.Response;
            response.ContentType = "application/json";

            switch (error)
            {
                case AppException e:
                    // custom application error
                    response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.BadRequest;
                    break;
                case KeyNotFoundException e:
                    // not found error
                    response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.NotFound;
                    break;
                default:
                    // unhandled error
                    _logger.LogError(error, error.Message);
                    response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError;
                    break;
            }

            var result = JsonSerializer.Serialize(new { message = error?.Message });
            await response.WriteAsync(result);
        }
    }
}


Interface User Service

Path: /Services/IUserService.cs

The user service is responsible for all database interaction and core business logic related to user CRUD operations.

namespace WebApi.Services;

using WebApi.Entities;
using WebApi.Models.Users;

public interface IUserService
{
    IEnumerable<User> GetAll();
    User GetById(int id);
    void Create(CreateRequest model);
    void Update(int id, UpdateRequest model);
    void Delete(int id);
}


User Service Implementation

Path: /Services/UserService.cs

The UserService.cs is a concrete user service class that implements the interface. 

using AutoMapper;
using WebApi.Entities;
using WebApi.Helpers;
using WebApi.Models.Users;

namespace WebApi.Services
{
    public class UserService : IUserService
    {
        private DataContext _context;
        private readonly IMapper _mapper;

        public UserService(
            DataContext context,
            IMapper mapper)
        {
            _context = context;
            _mapper = mapper;
        }

        public IEnumerable<User> GetAll()
        {
            return _context.Users;
        }

        public User GetById(int id)
        {
            return getUser(id);
        }

        public void Create(CreateRequest model)
        {
            // validate
            if (_context.Users.Any(x => x.Email == model.Email))
                throw new AppException("User with the email '" + model.Email + "' already exists");

            // map model to new user object
            var user = _mapper.Map<User>(model);

            // save user
            _context.Users.Add(user);
            _context.SaveChanges();
        }

        public void Update(int id, UpdateRequest model)
        {
            var user = getUser(id);

            // validate
            if (model.Email != user.Email && _context.Users.Any(x => x.Email == model.Email))
                throw new AppException("User with the email '" + model.Email + "' already exists");

            // copy model to user and save
            _mapper.Map(model, user);
            _context.Users.Update(user);
            _context.SaveChanges();
        }

        public void Delete(int id)
        {
            var user = getUser(id);
            _context.Users.Remove(user);
            _context.SaveChanges();
        }

        // helper methods

        private User getUser(int id)
        {
            var user = _context.Users.Find(id);
            if (user == null) throw new KeyNotFoundException("User not found");
            return user;
        }
    }
}


CreateRequest.cs

Path: /Models/Users/CreateRequest.cs

namespace WebApi.Models.Users;

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using WebApi.Entities;

public class CreateRequest
{

    [Required]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [EmailAddress]
    public string Email { get; set; }

}


UpdateRequest.cs

Path: /Models/Users/UpdateRequest.cs

namespace WebApi.Models.Users;

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using WebApi.Entities;

public class UpdateRequest
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    [EmailAddress]
    public string Email { get; set; }


    private string replaceEmptyWithNull(string value)
    {
        return string.IsNullOrEmpty(value) ? null : value;
    }
}


Users Controller

Path: /Controllers/UsersController.cs

The controller defines and handles all routes / endpoints for the api that relate to users, this includes standard CRUD operations for retrieving, updating, creating and deleting users.

namespace WebApi.Controllers;

using AutoMapper;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using WebApi.Models.Users;
using WebApi.Services;

[ApiController]
[Route("api/v1/[controller]")]
public class UsersController : ControllerBase
{
    private IUserService _userService;
    private IMapper _mapper;

    public UsersController(
        IUserService userService,
        IMapper mapper)
    {
        _userService = userService;
        _mapper = mapper;
    }

    [HttpGet]
    public IActionResult GetAll()
    {
        var users = _userService.GetAll();
        return Ok(users);
    }

    [HttpGet("{id}")]
    public IActionResult GetById(int id)
    {
        var user = _userService.GetById(id);
        return Ok(user);
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public IActionResult Create(CreateRequest model)
    {
        _userService.Create(model);
        return Ok(new { message = "User created" });
    }

    [HttpPut("{id}")]
    public IActionResult Update(int id, UpdateRequest model)
    {
        _userService.Update(id, model);
        return Ok(new { message = "User updated" });
    }

    [HttpDelete("{id}")]
    public IActionResult Delete(int id)
    {
        _userService.Delete(id);
        return Ok(new { message = "User deleted" });
    }
}


.NET 6 Program

Path: /Program.cs

Program.cs is the entry point of our app, where we configure the Web host. The program class configures the application infrastructure like Web host, logging, Dependency injection container, IIS integration, etc.

using System.Text.Json.Serialization;
using WebApi.Helpers;
using WebApi.Services;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// add services to DI container
{
    var services = builder.Services;
    var env = builder.Environment;
 
    services.AddDbContext<DataContext>();
    services.AddCors();
    services.AddControllers().AddJsonOptions(x =>
    {
        // serialize enums as strings in api responses (e.g. Role)
        x.JsonSerializerOptions.Converters.Add(new JsonStringEnumConverter());

        // ignore omitted parameters on models to enable optional params (e.g. User update)
        x.JsonSerializerOptions.DefaultIgnoreCondition = JsonIgnoreCondition.WhenWritingNull;
    });
    services.AddAutoMapper(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies());

    // configure DI for application services
    services.AddScoped<IUserService, UserService>();
}

var app = builder.Build();

// configure HTTP request pipeline
{
    // global cors policy
    app.UseCors(x => x
        .AllowAnyOrigin()
        .AllowAnyMethod()
        .AllowAnyHeader());

    // global error handler
    app.UseMiddleware<ErrorHandlerMiddleware>();

    app.MapControllers();
}

app.Run("http://localhost:9080");


.NET App Settings JSON

Path: /appsettings.json

The appsettings.json file is an application configuration file used to store configuration settings such as database connections strings, any application scope global variables, etc.

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
    }
  },
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "ApiDatabase": "Host=localhost:5432; Database=testdb; Username=postgres; Password=root"
  }
}


WebApi.csproj

Path: /WebApi.csproj

The csproj (C# project) is an MSBuild based file that contains target framework and NuGet package dependency information for the application.

The EFCore.NamingConventions plugin to automatically set all your table and column names to snake_case instead.

The Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL is an Entity Framework Core provider built on top of Npgsql. It allows you to use the EF Core O/RM with PostreSQL. 

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
        <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    </PropertyGroup>
    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="AutoMapper" Version="11.0.1" />
        <PackageReference Include="AutoMapper.Extensions.Microsoft.DependencyInjection" Version="11.0.0" />
        <PackageReference Include="EFCore.NamingConventions" Version="7.0.2" />
        <PackageReference Include="Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL" Version="7.0.1" />
    </ItemGroup>
</Project>


Run the application and verify REST APIs

You can start the api by running dotnet run from the command line in the project root folder (where the WebApi.csproj file is located), you should see the message Now listening on: http://localhost:9080.


OR


You can also start the application in debug mode in Visual Studio by opening the project root folder in Visual Studio and pressing F5 or by selecting Debug -> Start Debugging from the top menu, running in debug mode.

Example 1: Java 8 program to print odd numbers from a List   import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; /*Java 8 Program to find Odd Numbers from a List*/ public class DriverClass { public static void main( String [] args) { List < Integer > numbers = Arrays. asList( 1 , 4 , 8 , 40 , 11 , 22 , 33 , 99 ); List < Integer > oddNumbers = numbers.stream(). filter(o -> o % 2 != 0 ). collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println(oddNumbers); } } 1. Initialize List using Arrays.asList() method. Java's built-in Arrays.asList() method converts an array into a list. This method takes an array as an argument and returns a List object. 2.  Java List interface provides stream() method which returns a sequential Stream with list of Integer as its source. 3. The Java stream filter(...

Java Stream API - How to convert List of objects to another List of objects using Java streams?

Image
In this section, we will show you how to convert a List of objects to another List of objects in Java using the Java streams map(). The ‘map’ method maps each element to its corresponding result. Java Stream API   The Java Stream API provides a functional programming approach over the object oriented capabilities of Java. It is used for processing collections of objects. The Stream in Java can be defined as a sequence of elements from a source List, Set or Array. Most of the stream operations return a Stream. This avails engender a chain of stream operations(stream pipe-lining). The streams withal support the aggregate or terminal operations on the elements. for example, finding the sum or maximum element or finding the average etc...Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallel. when performed parallelly, it is called a parallel stream.   Stream map() Method   The Java 8 Stream map() is an intermediate operation. It converts Stream<obj1> to Str...

Top 5 Java ORM tools - 2024

Image
  The term ORM refers to object-relational mapping, which uses objects to adapt programming languages to database systems while allowing them to function with SQL and object-oriented programming ideas. Any kind of database management system that can accomplish object mapping to the table in the virtual system is suitable for the implementation of ORM. Java has a wide variety of ORM tools, some of which are mentioned below: 1. Hibernate Hibernate is a lightweight, open-source, non-invasive Java ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that allows developers to create objects that function independently of database software and create persistence logic in any Java or JavaEE application. It offers an abstraction layer, so developers don't have to bother about implementations; Hibernate handles these tasks internally, such as connecting to databases and creating queries to carry out CRUD operations, among other things. Persistence logic development is done with it. Persistence logic r...

Java - Blowfish Encryption and decryption Example

Image
Blowfish is an encryption method developed by Bruce Schneier in 1993 as an alternative to the DES encryption method. It is significantly faster than DES and provides good encryption speed, although no effective cryptanalysis technique has been found to date. It is one of the first secure block ciphers that is not protected by any patents and is therefore freely available for anyone to use. This is a symmetric block cipher algorithm. Block size: 64 bits Key size: variable size from 32 to 448 bits number of subsections: 18 [P-array] number of rounds: 16 number of substitution blocks: 4 [each with 512 records of 32 bits each] develop  Example 1: Encryption and decryption using Blowfish import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.security.InvalidKeyException; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.util.Base64; import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSiz...
