For the past few lessons, we have chatted about and worked with data; for this project, we continue our journey into data and modeling a database. We are starting a record label company, and we a place to store our bands, albums, and songs. You are creating a console app that stores our companies information in a database.
Objectives
Practice working with SQL
Practice working with ORMs (EF Core)
Requirements
Create a console that allows a user to store and manage the company's bands, albums, and songs.
You can use the template we have been using, but you can also use the one we talked about today. You can install it by using the following command:
dotnet new --install SDG.templates.Console.Database::1.0.0
[x] Create a database that stores Albums, Bands, and Songs. They should have at least the following properties, use your best judgment for types. (I have left off the Foreign keys intentionally)
[x] Album
Id
Title

ReleaseDate
[x] Band
Id
Name
CountryOfOrigin
NumberOfMembers
Website
Style
IsSigned
PersonOfContact
ContactPhoneNumber
[x] Song
Id
Title

Genre
For the relationships, add keys are needed to fulfill the following
[x] 1 Album has many Songs
[x] 1 Band has many Albums
[x] Create an interface to let the user :
[x] Sign a band (add a new band)
[x] Produce and album (add a album, and add a few songs to that album)

Add the following queries
[ ] View albums in a genre

[ ] Project structure is becoming more important as we progress through the cohort. Challenge yourself to have ReadLine and WriteLine only in your Program.cs
[ ] (this is a big leap, but a good one)On Monday we are starting to talk about APIs. Add integrations from Last.fm API. This API has a bunch of features. Go crazy; the sky is the limit. hint: use the Httpclient in C#
