1. Web API

   • mkdir TodoApi
   • cd TodoApi
   • dotnet new webapi

2. Use SQLite instead of InMemory

   • Startup.cs

   public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
   {   
       services.AddDbContext<TodoContext>(options => options.UseSqlite("Data Source=TodoList.db"));
       services.AddMvc();
   }
   

   • Run dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate to scaffold a migration and create the initial set of tables for the model.
   • Run dotnet ef database update to apply the new migration to the database. This command creates the database before applying migrations.
     • If you don't do this, you'll get errors like "SQLite Error 1: 'no such table"

3. Go back to tutorial in step 1

   • The Postman demo is wrong. Need the plural noun in the url 'http://localhost:5000/api/todos' NOT 'http://localhost:5000/api/todo'
