// Backend for Frontend
dotnet new webapi -n ShopNest.Service
// Apply this lesson pattern in Program.cs

• Each part connects to Backend for Frontend.

Try it yourself

1. Create or open the ShopNest service project.
2. Apply the pattern from this lesson.
3. Run dotnet build && dotnet run.
4. Change a string or route in the example and save — watch Swagger or the RabbitMQ Management UI update.
5. Break the code on purpose (remove a semicolon), read the error message, then fix it.

Remember

You learned Backend for Frontend in plain terms. Practice on ShopNest before moving on.
