What is this?

Client Application One using ASP.NET Core MVC protects ShopNest.API — passwords, tokens, encryption, CORS, and SSO flows for real users.

Why should you care?

Public APIs are scanned within hours of deploy. Auth mistakes are resume-ending in security reviews.

See it live — copy this example

Create a Web API (dotnet new webapi), paste the example, run dotnet run, test in Swagger.

[Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
[HttpPost]
public Task<IActionResult> Refund(int orderId);

Run Example »

This lesson uses terminal or setup steps. Run commands on your computer — the live editor appears on coding lessons.
