MS C# Certified | Building an Core + EF Core API now, Playwright next

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 200🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — tested the public catalog's IsInStock
→ seeded stock vs no stock, called anonymously
→ mutation check failed the out-of-stock assert; 140 tests passing

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 199 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — 9 controllers now protected by role, + a public catalog endpoint (shows IsInStock instead of exact stock)
→ every role test mutation-checked
→ 139 tests

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

Day 198🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — role-based access on 7 controllers
→ SaleItems, Settlements, Expenses restricted to Owner + Cashier
→ 8 new role tests, all mutation-checked Suite 133/133

@JackFOmni Thanks, appreciate it! More auth tests and the rest of the build are coming. Building together is a nice idea we could pursue it <3

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 196 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — auth test groundwork
→ Owner/Cashier test clients using real tokens
→ 8 test files switched to the Owner client, 112 tests green

@drunk_vibecoder Thanks, good point. Today I added role tests (anonymous 401, Cashier 403), each mutation-checked: removing the attribute turns a 403 into a 404, so the check runs before the action. A DB-unchanged assertion on rejected writes is next on my list.

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 197🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — role-based access, one controller at a time
→ 4 controllers restricted by role, 13 role tests, each mutation-checked
→ 125 tests, auth still in progress

Day 195 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — shared test login helper for auth
→ Tests mint Owner and Cashier tokens from the real TokenService
→ auth tests, mutation-checked
→ + C# concept reviews and a small practice API
https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

#CSharp #1000DaysOfCode #dreckieee

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

@jmeans_business Fair point. The API came from a real shop's weekly headaches such as stock, restocks, unpaid receivables, and especially cash balance where there is a balance for digital cash and cash on hand. I am excited if this will be the solution for their headaches

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 192 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — auth step 2
→ Username allowlist (a-z, 0-9, . _ -, 3-30 chars)
→ First Owner seeded from environment settings, password stored as a hash

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 194 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — login endpoint + JWT validation working
→ GET /api/auth/me proves the token setup
→ mutation-checked issuer and audience validation

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

#BuildInPublic #CSharp #AspNetCore #1000DaysOfCode #DevCommunity #dreckieee

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 193 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — JWT groundwork
→ startup refuses a missing or short signing key
→ TokenService issues signed 60-minute tokens
→ 108/108 tests, CI green

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

@fngly343149 I still got a long way to go I think but Thanks! Honestly, after. I'm doing auth in small steps (entity, migration, seeding, login...) and the tests land in step 5, so I'm a retrofitter too. I have a safety net anyways, the shared test factory keeps the old 108 tests alive.

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 191 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — auth step 1: User entity, Owner/Cashier roles, AddUser migration
→ unique username index, role stored as text
→ 108/108 tests still green

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

#BuildInPublic #CSharp #AspNetCore #1000DaysOfCode #DevCommunity #dreckieee

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 190 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — scoped JWT auth + roles (Owner/Cashier) before coding
→ public catalog endpoint with fewer fields
→ first Owner seeded from env vars, HTTPS before deploy

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 189🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — aligned my Postman scripts to one convention, mutation-checked each change
→ status test first, one parse, expected values as literals
→ 36 tests passing locally

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 188 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — end-to-end Postman cash flow check
→ restock, sale, close, then cash on hand moves by exactly 3000
→ hand-calculated expected values, mutation-checked

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

#BuildInPublic #CSharp #1000DaysOfCode #DevCommunity #dreckieee

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 187 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI: started a cash flow test in Postman, 3 of 7 requests done.
Learned: save chained variables only on success; expected values are hand-calculated, never copied from the response.

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 186 🎮

VapeShopInventoryAPI — 4 negative Postman requests (each expects 400) + a README guide
→ expected messages come from my code, not the response
→ every test mutation-checked

https://t.co/fMHu5coXOD

[Dreck Richard J. Pascual @dreckrjpascual]

Day 185 🎮

Progress on my C# practice repo
→ Documented GradeBook (console app #68): Dictionary with a case-insensitive key comparer
→ TypeScript warm-up: union types + typeof narrowing
