Example of .NET 6 (Preview 7 or later) Minimal APIs with Controllers and Dependency Injection.
Normally APIs built with ASP.NET include a lot of stuff out-of-the-box, which you might not need. And need a lot of boilerplate code to setup properly.
Minimal APIs added in .NET 6 gives you a barebones project template, with all that missing. You can just write a few simple lines of code to define route mappings to C# methods which return strings.
This project takes Minimal APIs and adds a bit more. Specifically, I've added Controllers for endpoints, which can be defined using an [ApiController] attribute, and dependency injection with equivalent of the usual ConfigureServices method.
Look at the Controllers folder. Just add them there. Should be obvious.
Look at Program.cs, and add your services to ConfigureServices at the end.
- I might replace the reflection code with source generators one day. For nice and speedy startups 🚅
- Could try using the same codebase for Azure Functions?
