MinimalApi.Endpoints 1.0.1

MinimalApi.Endpoints

MinimalApi.Endpoints is a .NET Nuget package that allows you to easily structure your Minimal Api Endpoints in individual classes instead of having them all in Program.cs.

Installation

You can install MinimalApi.Endpoints via NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio or by using the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package MinimalApi.Endpoints

Usage

To use MinimalApi.Endpoints, simply call the MapEndpoints extension method in your Program.cs. Here's an example:

using MinimalApi;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapEndpoints();

app.Run();

Defining Endpoint Classes

To define an endpoint class, create a simple class that contains a method decorated with one of the following attributes to indicate the HTTP verb and route pattern for the endpoint:

• EndpointGet for GET requests
• EndpointPost for POST requests
• EndpointPut for PUT requests

Here's an example of how you can use the EndpointGet attribute to create an endpoint that returns a list of users:

public class GetUsers
{
    [EndpointGet("/users")]
    public async Task<IEnumerable<User>> GetAsync(UserDb db)
    {
        return await db.Users.ToListAsync();
    }
}

Here's an example of how you can use the EndpointGet attribute to create an endpoint that returns a specific user:

public class GetUser
{
    [EndpointGet("/users/{id}")]
    public async Task<User> GetAsync(int id, UserDb db)
    {
        return await db.Users.FindAsync(id);
    }
}

The method parameters can resolve to route/query/body values and registered services from the dependency container.

If you rather prefer to have all methods in one class:

public class WannaBeUserController
{
    [EndpointGet("/users")]
    public async Task<IEnumerable<User>> GetAllAsync(UserDb db)
    {
        return await db.Users.ToListAsync();
    }

    [EndpointGet("/users/{id}")]
    public async Task<User> GetAsync(int id, UserDb db)
    {
        return await db.Users.FindAsync(id);
    }
}

Limitations

• Only HTTP GET, POST, PUT methods are supported.
• PATCH and DELETE will be supported when .NET 8 is released.
