🧭 Overview

APIProject6 is a comprehensive restaurant management web application composed of two independent projects working in harmony:

Project	Role
APIProject6.WebAPI	RESTful Web API — data access, business rules, and persistence via Entity Framework Core + SQL Server.
APIProject6.WebUI	ASP.NET Core MVC front-end — Features a public restaurant website and a beautifully crafted, modern Admin Dashboard utilizing premium CSS design concepts (Glassmorphism, CSS Grid).

Beyond standard CRUD operations, the platform acts as an intelligent assistant by introducing AI-powered features: Recipe generation, AI-assisted customer support, and automatic translation + toxicity moderation for inbox messages.

✨ Key Features

Web API

• 🏗️ RESTful Architecture with clean, resource-oriented endpoints.
• 🔄 Full CRUD operations across all domain modules (Categories, Products, Chefs, Messages, etc.).
• 🗄️ Entity Framework Core (Code-First) with SQL Server backend.
• 📦 DTO-based data transfer configured seamlessly with AutoMapper.
• ✅ FluentValidation for robust incoming request validation.
• 📖 Swagger / OpenAPI integration for interactive documentation and testing.

Premium Web UI & Admin Panel

• 🎨 Modern Design System: The Admin Dashboard features a highly polished UI with Glassmorphism effects, responsive CSS Grids, smooth hover micro-animations, and gradient buttons.
• 🖼️ Native Image Lightbox: A beautifully integrated gallery page for administrators with a native, dependency-free CSS/JS lightbox.
• 📍 Interactive Contact Map: Embedded Google Maps UI directly into the admin contact panel for real-time location previewing.
• 🌐 Public Website: A complete front-end for customers featuring hero banners, dynamic menus, chefs, testimonials, and contact forms.
• 🚀 ViewComponents: Reusable, modular UI components to keep Razor views clean.

AI-Powered Integrations

• 🤖 AI Recipe Generator (OpenAI): Input ingredients and receive a beautifully formatted recipe instantly.
• 💬 Smart Support Replies (OpenAI): The system reads customer feedback and drafts polite, on-brand responses (handling complaints, questions, or praise automatically).
• 🌐 Auto-Translation (Hugging Face): Translates incoming Turkish messages to English seamlessly in the background (Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-tr-en).
• 🛡️ Toxicity Moderation (Hugging Face): Scans incoming messages using a classifier (unitary/toxic-bert), flagging them as safe or toxic.
• ⚡ Retroactive Moderation: A dedicated one-click "Analyze Toxicity" feature for messages manually inserted into the database.

🧠 AI & Integrations

Capability	Provider	Model / Endpoint	Where
Recipe Generation	OpenAI	Chat Completions API	AIController.CreateRecipeWithOpenAI
Support-reply Drafting	OpenAI	Chat Completions API	MessageController.AnswerMessageWithOpenAI
Message Translation	Hugging Face	Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-tr-en	MessageController.SendMessage
Toxicity Classification	Hugging Face	unitary/toxic-bert	MessageController.SendMessage & AnalyzeExistingMessage

Security Note: All AI keys are supplied through configuration (dotnet user-secrets) and are never committed to source control.

🧰 Tech Stack

• Backend: ASP.NET Core 6 (Web API & MVC)
• Database: Entity Framework Core, Microsoft SQL Server
• Libraries: AutoMapper, FluentValidation, Newtonsoft.Json, Swashbuckle
• AI Services: OpenAI API, Hugging Face Inference API
• Frontend: HTML5, Vanilla CSS3 (Glassmorphism, CSS Grid), JavaScript (ES6), Bootstrap

---

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET 6 SDK
• Visual Studio 2022 / JetBrains Rider / VS Code
• SQL Server (LocalDB or Express)
• EF Core CLI (dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef)

1. Clone & Restore

git clone https://github.com/Houzcetin/APIProject6.git
cd APIProject6
dotnet restore

2. Configure the Database

Update the connection string in APIProject6.WebAPI/Context/APIContext.cs to point to your local SQL Server instance.

3. Apply Migrations

dotnet ef database update --project APIProject6.WebAPI

---

🔐 Configuration (API Keys & Secrets)

To enable the AI features (OpenAI and Hugging Face), you must configure your API keys securely using .NET User Secrets:

cd APIProject6.WebUI

dotnet user-secrets init
dotnet user-secrets set "OpenAI:ApiKey" "sk-your-openai-key"
dotnet user-secrets set "HuggingFace:ApiKey" "hf_your-huggingface-token"

---

▶️ Running the Applications

Both projects must be running simultaneously. The Web UI expects the Web API to be hosted at https://localhost:7277.

1. Start the Web API:

   dotnet run --project APIProject6.WebAPI

   Swagger documentation will be available at https://localhost:7277/swagger.

2. Start the Web UI:

   dotnet run --project APIProject6.WebUI

   The main application will be available at https://localhost:7208.

📡 API Reference

The API follows strict RESTful conventions. Here is an example of the /api/Products endpoint:

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/api/Products	List all products
POST	/api/Products	Create a new product
GET	/api/Products/GetProduct?id={id}	Get a product by ID
PUT	/api/Products	Update an existing product
DELETE	/api/Products?id={id}	Delete a product
