-this was a first attempt at creating a C# api using dotnet 6.0 -you can run this by using the standard .net6.0 run command -The database contains a list of games with each game having specfic atributes -the Id is a long vairiable that stores a value that represents each game -the board variable represents the board that the game is being played on and it takes the form of a string "F,F,F,F,F,F,F,F,F". The F on the board represents an empty slot, this becomes T when that slot is taken. Their are a total of 9 spots on the baord that can be changed. -Players is a string that holds the names of the 2 players. -position is a an integer value that is meant to show which position the player wants to edit. -Player1Moves is a string that can keep track of the moves that player 1 makes (i.e. if the string is "1,10" then the player has taken slots 1 and 10). same occurs with player2. -turn keeps track of which player just went.
-in order to use this api, first you must install http-repl -using "dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.dotnet-httprepl" -after installing run the following command replacing yourHostNumber with the number of your host -httprepl https://localhost:yourHostNumber/api/todoitems -create games in the api using the post command: -post -h Content-Type=application/json -c "{"Players":"test3, test4","Player1Moves":"","Player2Moves":"","board":"F,F,F,F,F,F,F,F,F"}"
-put command can edit details of any individual game, but it will edit the whole game and all information must be entered. -patch command should in theory allow for specfic values of a game to be edited, however I didn't quite get that working, if successful I whould have used that to make the turn system. -delete allows a user to remove elements from the list of games -get will return a list of all games in the database.
much of what was achieved was done through a webapi tutorial: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.mvc.httppatchattribute?view=aspnetcore-6.0
if given the oppurtnity, I will be working on this project later, adding more end points and fixing old ones.
Question: What is the appropriate OAuth 2/OIDC grant to use for a web application using a SPA (Single Page Application) and why. As far as I understand PKCE is the ideal type for single page applications. This allows for clients to create a seceret for each authorization request and getting an access token. This allows for added security even if the authorization code is intercepted.
