Beginner Guide: Web-based application and API service common features
** Common Features in Any Web-Based Application ** Here’s a rundown of the basic and common features that are generally expected in any web-based application and API service. This includes both frontend (web app) and backend (API/service) aspects: 1. User Authentication & Authorization Login/Signup Forgot password / Reset password Role-based access control 2. Dashboard or Landing Page Overview of key metrics/data Navigation to core functionalities 3. User Management Profile view/edit Account settings Admin can manage users (for B2B/SaaS apps) 4. CRUD Operations Create, Read, Update, Delete for core data objects Pagination, filt ering, and sorting on lists 5. Responsive UI Mobile-friendly layouts Accessibility considerations 6. Notifications Toast alerts (success, error, warning) In-app notifications (optional) Email alerts (optional) 7. Search and Filter Global search or contextual search Multi-criteria filters 8. Audit & Activity Logs Track what users do (especially for admin or regulated apps) 9. Security Features CSRF/XSS protection HTTPS, secure cookies CAPTCH A / 2FA (for enhanced security) 10. Internationalization (i18n) Multi-language support (if required) ** Common Features in Any API Service ** 1. RESTful or GraphQL APIs Standardized endpoints Proper HTTP status codes 2. Authentication & Authorization Token-based (JWT, OAuth2, API keys) Role-based access for endpoints 3. Rate Limiting & Throttling Prevent abuse API tiering for monetized platforms Validation Input validation (schemas, DTOs) Error handling with structured responses 5. Logging & Monitoring Structured logs (JSON) Integration with monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, ELK, Datadog) 6. Versioning /api/v1/ style or header-based API versioning 7. Health Check Endpoint /health, /ping, or /status endpoint to indicate service status 8. CORS Configuration Allow cross-origin requests as needed 9. Testing & Documentation Swagger/OpenAPI documentation Postman collections Automated tests (unit/integration) 10. Database & Caching DB connection pooling Caching using Redis or similar (for frequently accessed data) Next: I will comes up with implementation of User Authentication & Authorization in ASP.NET Core (.NET 7 or later)
