User Management API

=======================

Overview

---

This is a User Management API built using ASP.NET Core and C#. The API provides a set of endpoints for managing users, including creating, reading, updating, and deleting users. The API also includes middleware for logging, error handling, and authentication.

Features

• Create, read, update, and delete users
• Logging middleware to log incoming requests and outgoing responses
• Error handling middleware to catch unhandled exceptions and return consistent error responses
• Authentication middleware to validate tokens from incoming requests and allow access only to users with valid tokens

API Endpoints

Users

• GET /users: Returns a list of all users
• GET /users/{id}: Returns a single user by ID
• POST /users: Creates a new user
• PUT /users/{id}: Updates a single user by ID
• DELETE /users/{id}: Deletes a single user by ID

Usage

1. Clone the repository to your local machine
2. Open the project in Visual Studio
3. Build and run the project
4. Use a tool like Postman to send requests to the API endpoints

Authentication

To authenticate with the API, you need to include a valid token in the Authorization header of your request. The token should be in the format Bearer <token>.

Logging

The API logs all incoming requests and outgoing responses using the logging middleware. You can view the logs in the console output.

Error Handling

The API catches unhandled exceptions and returns consistent error responses using the error handling middleware.
