Build a server-side web app with .NET, C#, and HTMX

The repository class

We’ll use a repository class for persisting the quotes users submit to our application. In a real application, the repository class would interact with a datastore. For our example, we’ll just use an in-memory list. Since our application is small, we can put the repository class directly into our root directory for now.

Here’s the repository class:


// QuoteRepository.cs 
using QuoteApp.Models;

namespace QuoteApp
{
    public class QuoteRepository
    {
        private static List _quotes = new List()
        {
            new Quote { Id = 1, Text = "There is no try.  Do or do not.", Author = "Yoda" },
            new Quote { Id = 2, Text = "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.", Author = "Albert Einstein" }
        };

        public List GetAll()
        {
            return _quotes;
        }

        public void Add(Quote quote)
        {
            // Simple ID generation (in real app, use database ID generation)
            quote.Id = _quotes.Any() ? _quotes.Max(q => q.Id) + 1 : 1; 
            _quotes.Add(quote);
        }
    }
}

We’ll use a static block to declare and populate a _quotes List. Using that data, we provide two methods: GetAll() and Add(). GetAll() simply returns the List, while Add inserts the new Quote into it. We use a simple increment logic to create an ID for the new Quote.
