How to expose API endpoints in C# WebServices?

// Model
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Web;
namespace CoinJarAPI.Models
{
[DataContract]
public class CoinJarModel
{
[DataMember(Name = "volume")]
public decimal Volume { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name = "amount")]
public decimal Amount { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name = "getTotalAmount")]
public decimal GetTotalAmount { get; set; }
}
}
// Controller
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web.Http;
using CoinJarAPI.Models;
namespace CoinJarAPI.Controllers
{
public class CoinJarController : ApiController
{
// GET: api/CoinJar
public IEnumerable Get()
{
var coinJarList = new List();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var coinjarModel = new CoinJarModel
{
// volume, Amount, GetTotalAmount.
};
}
return coinJarList;
}
// GET: api/CoinJar/5
public string Get(int id)
{
return "value";
}
}
}
// Interface
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace CoinJarAPI.Interface
{
interface ICoinJar
{
void AddCoin(ICoin coin);
decimal GetTotalAmount();
void Reset();
}
public interface ICoin
{
decimal Amount { get; set; }
decimal Volume { get; set; }
}
}

Hi Junaid

Can you perhaps show me an example, i think will be in good chance to do the rest

Hi,

You should create a Class that inherits from ICoinJar.

This class will implement all the members that are defined within the interface ICoinJar.

And then use this class object in your Controller to perform the desired operation.
