FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a .NET Minimal API with OpenAPI documentation?

You can scaffold a .NET Minimal API with OpenAPI documentation by generating a new project structure that integrates OpenAPI, versioning, and security patterns by default. This ensures your REST API is well-documented and secure from the outset.

What is the best way to set up API versioning in ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs?

The best way to set up API versioning in ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs is to scaffold the project with built-in versioning strategies. This approach configures versioning alongside OpenAPI documentation and security patterns, ensuring a robust API foundation.

Does this scaffolder enforce validation and security patterns for .NET 10 APIs?

Yes, this scaffolder enforces validation and security patterns for .NET 10 APIs by integrating FluentValidation and essential security configurations by default. This ensures your minimal API endpoints are secure and validate input correctly.

Can I add a new REST endpoint to an existing .NET Minimal API project?

Yes, you can add a new REST endpoint to an existing .NET Minimal API project. The tool triggers on phrases like 'create endpoint' or 'add route' to generate endpoint code with proper OpenAPI documentation and routing.

When should I use Minimal APIs instead of controllers in ASP.NET Core?

You should use Minimal APIs instead of controllers in ASP.NET Core when starting a new microservice or API project that benefits from a lightweight structure. This scaffolder quickly sets up that robust foundation without the overhead of controller classes.
