.NET Core Microservices - Base Service Implementation

The video tutorial covers the implementation of a generic method for handling API requests in C#. It begins with an introduction to IDisposable and the Dispose method, followed by setting up a service and response model. The tutorial then explains how to create and configure an HTTP client using dependency injection. It details handling API requests, serialization, and using a switch case for different HTTP methods. The video also covers sending and receiving API responses, error handling, and the benefits of the implemented method.

What is the primary purpose of implementing the IDisposable interface?

• To improve performance

• To manage resource cleanup

• To handle exceptions

• To manage memory allocation

Why is IHttpClientFactory recommended over IHttpClient in .NET Core?

• It is faster

• It supports dependency injection

• It has more features

• It is easier to use

What is the role of the response model in the service?

• To encapsulate API responses

• To manage HTTP headers

• To handle exceptions

• To store API keys

What is the first step in creating an HTTP client for API requests?

• Configuring headers

• Serializing data

• Creating a client object

• Setting up a URI

Why is it important to clear default request headers in an HTTP client?

• To simplify code

• To reduce memory usage

• To improve performance

• To avoid conflicts

Which JSON package is used for serializing data in the tutorial?

• System.Text.Json

• JsonSerializer

• Newtonsoft.Json

• Json.NET

What is the purpose of using a switch case for HTTP methods?

• To improve performance

• To reduce errors

• To handle different HTTP methods

• To simplify code

What should be done if an exception occurs during an API request?

• Retry the request

• Log the error

• Return a default response

• Create a new response DTO with error details

Why is it beneficial to have a base service for API requests?

• To improve performance

• To simplify error handling

• To enhance security

• To reduce code redundancy

What is a key advantage of using async methods in API requests?

• They are easier to write

• They improve code readability

• They allow non-blocking operations

• They reduce memory usage
