SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the creation of lightweight, high-performance HTTP APIs in ASP.NET Core using a modern, lambda-based programming model.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Streamlined API Development: Focus on core logic with minimal boilerplate code.
  • Organized Endpoints: Use route groups to logically structure your API.
  • Cross-Cutting Concerns: Implement logging, validation, and authorization using endpoint filters.
  • Type-Safe Responses: Leverage TypedResults for compile-time safety and accurate OpenAPI documentation.
  • Use Case: Quickly scaffold a RESTful API for a new microservice, defining endpoints for CRUD operations on resources like products or users, complete with input validation and clear response types.

Quick Start

Use the dotnet-minimal-apis skill to create a new ASP.NET Core Minimal API project with basic product endpoints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build lightweight ASP.NET Core APIs with minimal boilerplate?

Build lightweight ASP.NET Core APIs using a lambda-based programming model that minimizes boilerplate. This approach lets you define endpoints directly, focusing on core logic while structuring APIs with route groups.

How do I handle cross-cutting concerns like validation in Minimal APIs?

Handle cross-cutting concerns like validation, logging, and authorization in Minimal APIs by implementing endpoint filters. These filters allow you to intercept requests and apply consistent logic across multiple endpoints.

Can I get compile-time response type safety in ASP.NET Core Web APIs?

Yes, you can achieve compile-time response type safety in ASP.NET Core Web APIs by leveraging TypedResults. This ensures your endpoints return specific types, which also generates accurate OpenAPI documentation automatically.

What is the best way to organize endpoints in a REST API without controllers?

The best way to organize endpoints in a REST API without controllers is using route groups. Route groups logically structure your API endpoints, keeping code clean and maintainable as your microservice grows.

Does ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs support OpenAPI integration and parameter binding?

Yes, ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs supports OpenAPI integration and parameter binding from various sources. Using TypedResults ensures your OpenAPI documentation accurately reflects your compile-time safe response types.
