Stock Trading App

The Stock Trading App is an ASP.NET Core 8 web application that displays real-time stock prices using data from Finnhub.io. It provides a user-friendly interface for viewing market data and is structured using a 4-Tier Architecture, where the MVC pattern is applied at the Presentation Layer.

The application follows the Repository Pattern for data management, ensuring separation of concerns. It includes unit and integration tests to enhance reliability. SQL Server is used for data storage, managed via Entity Framework Core. The application provides logging capabilities using Serilog.

Features

  • Real-Time Stock Prices: Live updates of stock prices fetched from Finnhub.io.

  • 4-Tier Architecture – Structured into:

    • Presentation Layer (MVC for UI and Controllers)
    • Business Logic Layer (BLL)
    • Repository Layer (Interaction with DAL)
    • Data Access Layer (DAL)

  • Repository Pattern: Implements the repository pattern to manage data access, promoting separation of concerns.

  • Unit Testing: Comprehensive unit tests using xUnit to ensure application reliability.

  • Integration Testing: Integration tests to verify end-to-end functionality and ensure proper functioning of all components.

  • Logging with Serilog: Application events and errors are logged using Serilog, providing detailed insights into application behavior.

  • Seq Integration: Logs are routed to Seq for centralized and structured log analysis, enabling easier debugging and monitoring.

Technologies Used

  • ASP.NET Core 8: Framework for building the web application.

  • Entity Framework Core 8: Object-relational mapper for database interactions.

  • SQL Server: Relational database for storing application data.

  • Razor Views: For dynamic server-side rendering of HTML content.

  • JavaScript, HTML, CSS: Frontend technologies for user interface and interactivity.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • .NET SDK 8.0 or later
