The Collectively.Api acts as a gateway to the whole Collectively system that was built as a set of distributed microservices following the CQRS pattern. This is a RESTful API that can be accessed by any type of application or tool that can handle the HTTP requests.
The API itself does not know anything about the underlying microservices and has just a dependency to the RabbitMQ service bus in order to publish the commands from the incoming user requests and the Storage in order to fetch the data.
If you would like to find out more about the available endpoints, please navigate to the API documentation.
Collectively is built as a set of microservices, therefore the easiest way is to run the whole system using the docker-compose.
Clone the Collectively.Docker repository and run the start.sh script:
git clone https://github.com/noordwind/Collectively.Docker
./start.sh

In order to run the Collectively.Api you need to have installed:
Clone the repository and start the application via dotnet run --no-restore command:
git clone https://github.com/noordwind/Collectively.Api
cd Collectively.Api/Collectively.Api
dotnet restore --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --source https://www.myget.org/F/collectively/api/v3/index.json --no-cache
dotnet run --no-restore --urls "http://*:5000"
Once executed, you shall be able to access the API at http://localhost:5000
Please note that the following solution will only run the HTTP API which is merely one of the many parts required to run properly the whole Collectively system.
Please edit the appsettings.json file in order to use the custom application settings. To configure the docker environment update the dockerfile - if you would like to change the exposed port, you need to also update it's value that can be found within Program.cs. For the local testing purposes the .local or .docker configuration files are being used (for both appsettings and dockerfile), so feel free to create or edit them.
