💻 Using the Client SDK

Installation

dotnet add reference LittleShop.Client/LittleShop.Client.csproj

Basic Usage

using LittleShop.Client.Extensions;

// Configure services
services.AddLittleShopClient(options =>
{
    options.BaseUrl = "https://localhost:5001";
    options.TimeoutSeconds = 30;
    options.MaxRetryAttempts = 3;
});

// Use the client
var client = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<ILittleShopClient>();

// Authenticate
await client.Authentication.LoginAsync("admin", "admin");

// Get products
var products = await client.Catalog.GetProductsAsync();

// Create order
var order = await client.Orders.CreateOrderAsync(new CreateOrderRequest
{
    IdentityReference = "CUST001",
    ShippingName = "John Doe",
    ShippingAddress = "123 Main St",
    ShippingCity = "London",
    ShippingPostCode = "SW1A 1AA",
    ShippingCountry = "United Kingdom",
    Items = new[] { new CreateOrderItem { ProductId = productId, Quantity = 1 } }
});

🔌 API Endpoints

Authentication

• POST /api/auth/login - Login with username/password
• POST /api/auth/refresh - Refresh JWT token

Catalog (Requires Authentication)

• GET /api/catalog/categories - Get all categories
• GET /api/catalog/categories/{id} - Get category by ID
• GET /api/catalog/products - Get products with filtering
• GET /api/catalog/products/{id} - Get product by ID

Orders (Requires Authentication)

• POST /api/orders - Create new order
• GET /api/orders/by-identity/{id} - Get orders by customer identity
• GET /api/orders/{id} - Get order by ID
• POST /api/orders/{id}/payments - Create crypto payment
• POST /api/orders/payments/webhook - BTCPay webhook endpoint

🗄️ Database Schema

Core Tables

• Users: Staff/admin accounts only
• Categories: Product categories
• Products: Product catalog with pricing and weight
• ProductPhotos: Product images with sorting
• Orders: Customer orders with shipping details
• OrderItems: Individual items in orders
• CryptoPayments: Cryptocurrency payment records
• ShippingRates: Weight-based shipping calculations

🧪 Testing

Run all tests:

dotnet test

Run specific test categories:

# Unit tests only
dotnet test --filter Category=Unit

# Integration tests
dotnet test --filter Category=Integration

# Security tests
dotnet test --filter Category=Security

Test Coverage

• ✅ Unit tests for all services
• ✅ Integration tests for all API endpoints
• ✅ Security tests for authentication enforcement
• ✅ UI automation tests with Playwright

🔧 Configuration

appsettings.json

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "Data Source=littleshop.db"
  },
  "Jwt": {
    "Key": "YourSuperSecretKeyThatIsAtLeast32CharactersLong!",
    "Issuer": "LittleShop",
    "Audience": "LittleShop",
    "ExpiryMinutes": 60
  },
  "BTCPayServer": {

  }
}

🚢 Deployment

Production Checklist

1. Update connection strings
2. Configure BTCPay Server
3. Set strong JWT secret key
4. Enable HTTPS only
5. Configure CORS for your domain
6. Set up SSL certificates
7. Configure logging
8. Set up database backups
