Overview
● ASP.NET Core supports two approaches to creating APIs:
1. a controller-based approach and minimal APIs. Controllers in an API project are
classes that derive from ControllerBase.
2. Minimal APIs define endpoints with logical handlers in lambdas or methods.
● This session covers the basics of building a controller-based web API that uses a
database.

Create Model class
● A model is a set of classes that represent the data that the app manages.

namespace PurchasedItemsAPI.Models
{
public class PurchasedItem
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int UnitPrice { get; set; }
}
}
