We'll use the following tools in this chapter:
- Visual Studio 2019: We'll use this to edit our ASP.NET Core code. This can be downloaded from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/.
- .NET Core 3.0: This can be downloaded from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core.
- Postman: We'll use this to try out the REST API endpoint we'll implement in this chapter. This can be downloaded from https://www.getpostman.com/downloads/.
- Q & A: We'll start with the Q & A backend project we finished in the previous chapter. This is available on GitHub at https://github.com/carlrip/ASP.NET-Core-and-React-Book.
All the code snippets in this chapter can be found online at https://github.com/carlrip/ASP.NET-Core-and-React-Book. In order to restore code from a chapter, the source code repository can be downloaded and the relevant folder opened in the relevant editor. If the code is frontend code then npm install can be entered in the Terminal to restore the dependencies.
