2. Open the project on Visual Studio (File -> Open -> Project/Solution -> PlaylistsWorkshop.sln)

Setup Database and Run API

The project uses a SQLite database to persist data. As it is a local database, first it needs to be generated

1. Open the Package Manager Console from Visual Studio (View -> Other Windows -> Package Manager Console)
2. On the PCM, type Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools to install entity framework tools. (To more information about the command, visit https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/cli/powershell)
3. On the PCM, type Update-Database to setup the local database based on the migration files on the Migrations Folder. (To more information about migrations, visit https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/ef6/modeling/code-first/migrations/)
4. On Visual Studio, press F5 to run the Application in Debug Mode, or Ctrl + F5 to start whithout debugging. This will open a swagger page on https://localhost:7019/swagger/index.html. Now you can start to use the API Locally :)
