Testing the completed setup

Before we wrap up this chapter, let's quickly test that everything is configured correctly. A feature we'll most likely need later on is a users feature, so let's create a Features/Users/UsersController.cs file, and fill it in with the following contents:

namespace ECommerce.Features.Users
{
    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    public class UsersController : Controller
    {
        private readonly EcommerceContext _db;

        public UsersController(EcommerceContext db)
        {
            _db = db;
        }

        [HttpGet]
        public async Task<IActionResult> Get()
        {
            return Ok(await _db.Users.ToListAsync());
        }
    }
}

This is all we need to test the completed setup, so run the application again now and navigate to http://localhost:5000/api/users in your web browser. You should be presented with a JSON array containing a single object representing the user we seeded in the database earlier:
