Overview

This assessment is divided into four main parts:

• Create the repository and interface
• Inject the repository into the catalogue controller

Catalogue Product Filter

• Highlight the current category in the menu

Product Details Page

• Create a product details method in the Catalogue controller which will fetch the product details.

• Use the same image as was used on the Catalogue page

You will need to do the following to complete this page:

• The Delete button will delete the item from the cart
• The Continue Shopping button will take the user back to catalogue page
  • We will NOT be implementing the Checkout page
• Remove the Cart icon and Buy Now button
  • The razor page has its own layout file which is a copy of the main layout so this is simple
