Pokemon Review App

Pokemon Review App is a simple RESTful web API built using .NET Core version 8.0. It allows users to review Pokemon, utilizing six main entities: Pokemon, Reviewer, Review, Owner, Category, and Country. The database is created using Entity Framework Core's Code First approach, with SQL Server as the database provider. Building this project helped me to get a grasp on crucial concepts and technologies such as Repository Design Pattern, Dependency Injection, and EF Core Object Relational Mapper.

Notes:

• Implements a Controller-based API
• Utilizes AutoMapper for mapping between domain models and DTOs
• Includes a class for seeding the database with fake data
