Building Api with good practices and proper documentation is important for the development life span of API service.

Today, I will walk you through a sample of an API(that can be improved upon). we will build upon that API example and add a couple of features Like Swagger, Async calls to the Database, and so on.

Let Get Started!!.

1-Cloning the existing Repo.

• You can find the Repo link here

2-Making our Database calls Asynchronous.

As you can see below the methods in the Interface aren’t Async.
we will go ahead and change that to be Async.

a-Making the Interface methods Asynchronous.

• Making the methods Asynchronous improves the response time where you can run multiple calls simultaneously and, save time instead of waiting for each call individually.
• Old version

public interface IBaseRepo<T>    
{        
   List<T> GetAll();         
   T Get(int id);         
   int Save(T item);         
   int Delete(T item);  
}

• Updated

public interface IBaseRepo<T>
{
