Northwind Traders is a sample business application created to demonstrate Clean Architecture in .NET Core. It separates domain rules, application logic, persistence, infrastructure, and presentation into distinct projects. The backend uses Entity Framework Core, while an Angular client provides the browser interface. MediatR organizes commands and queries, with FluentValidation handling request rules and AutoMapper translating data models. The solution also includes authentication support and automated tests for key application behavior. It is best used as an educational reference or starting point rather than a maintained production template. The repository is archived, so adopters should update its dependencies and security configuration before reuse.

  • Clean Architecture layer separation
  • Entity Framework Core backend
