The instructions assume that you

• have .NET 8 installed on the machine
• are in a shell (e.g. powershell) which can run dotnet commands
• have changed directory to the repository root

To run tests

1. cd FlightInformationApi.Test
2. dotnet test

To directly run the API

The API itself has no UI so another tool like Postman is required to run against it.

1. cd FlightInformationApi
2. dotnet run --launch-profile "api"
3. Access API endpoints e.g. https://localhost:5001/api/flights

To launch swagger

Swagger provides an interactive environment for running the API as well as documentation thereof.

1. cd FlightInformationApi
2. dotnet run --launch-profile "swagger"
3. then open http://localhost:5083/swagger/

Please note only the following airport codes are known (see Program.cs PopulateDatabase()): NZAA, NZCH, NZDN, NZHN, NZOH, NZPM, NZQN, NZWN
