SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers create robust ASP.NET Minimal API endpoints that are automatically documented with OpenAPI specifications, ensuring clarity and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured API Design: Organizes endpoints using MapGroup and separate classes for better maintainability.
  • Type Safety: Utilizes explicit DTOs, record types, and strongly-typed parameters for requests and responses.
  • OpenAPI Integration: Leverages built-in .NET features to generate comprehensive OpenAPI documentation, including summaries, descriptions, and schema definitions.
  • Use Case: Develop a new set of user management APIs where each endpoint is clearly defined, strongly typed, and automatically documented for easy integration by frontend developers or other services.

Quick Start

Use the aspnet-minimal-api-openapi skill to create a new user endpoint group for managing user profiles.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate OpenAPI documentation for ASP.NET Minimal APIs?

To generate OpenAPI documentation for ASP.NET Minimal APIs, define explicit request and response DTOs using C# record types. This approach leverages built-in .NET features to automatically produce comprehensive OpenAPI schemas, summaries, and descriptions for self-documenting web APIs.

What is the best way to structure ASP.NET Minimal API endpoints for maintainability?

The best way to structure ASP.NET Minimal API endpoints for maintainability is using MapGroup and separate classes. This organized approach keeps strongly-typed endpoint definitions modular and simplifies comprehensive OpenAPI schema generation for large web APIs.

Does ASP.NET Minimal API support built-in OpenAPI schema generation without external packages?

Yes, ASP.NET Minimal API supports built-in OpenAPI schema generation without requiring external packages. It leverages native .NET features to map strongly-typed parameters and explicit DTOs directly into comprehensive OpenAPI documentation.

How do I add summaries and descriptions to OpenAPI schemas in Minimal APIs?

You add summaries and descriptions to OpenAPI schemas in Minimal APIs by utilizing built-in .NET features alongside explicit request and response DTOs. This ensures comprehensive OpenAPI documentation is automatically generated for your endpoints.

Can I use record types for request and response DTOs in Minimal APIs to improve OpenAPI documentation?

Yes, you can use C# record types for request and response DTOs in Minimal APIs to improve OpenAPI documentation. This strong typing ensures explicit schema definitions are clearly captured in the generated OpenAPI specifications.

Why use ASP.NET Minimal APIs instead of controllers for new web API development?

Use ASP.NET Minimal APIs instead of controllers for new web API development to achieve structured API organization with MapGroup. This approach provides strong typing and comprehensive OpenAPI documentation while reducing boilerplate for maintainable endpoints.
