    Study Notes

    Swagger Overview

    • Swagger is a powerful tool for generating API documentation and testing APIs directly.
    • It helps create documentation for ASP.NET Core 6 Web APIs.
    • Swashbuckle.AspNetCore package integrates Swagger into ASP.NET Core applications.

    Installing Swagger NuGet Package

    • Install Swashbuckle.AspNetCore package.
    • This can be done via .NET CLI or NuGet Package Manager.
    • Examples of packages are Swashbuckle.AspNetCore, Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Swagger, Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.SwaggerGen, Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.SwaggerUI.

    Configuring Swagger in Startup.cs or Program.cs (ASP.NET Core 6)

    • Configurations are typically done in Program.cs due to the simplified hosting model of ASP.NET Core 6.
    • The example provided shows adding services for Controllers, Endpoints, and SwaggerGen to the container.
    • Code example demonstrates configuration for HTTP request pipeline when the application is in development mode, configuring Swagger and setting the Swagger UI route prefix.

    Customizing Swagger Documentation (Optional)

    • You can customize Swagger behavior.
    • To include XML comments in API documentation, generate XML comments in your project's Visual Studio properties.
    • Configure Swagger to use the XML file.
    • Example for including XML comments in the code.

    Launching Your API

    • Launch your application to access the Swagger UI.
    • Swagger UI should appear at the base URL, such as https://localhost:5001/.
    • This base URL can be used to access different API endpoints.

    Accessing Swagger UI

    • Navigate to /swagger or the base URL (if set by the route)
    • Locate the "Swagger UI" interface to interact with the APIs.

    Testing APIs via Swagger UI

    • Swagger UI provides an interactive interface to test API endpoints.
    • Fill out forms and submit requests to test the APIs.
    • This provides a basic but powerful integration for testing purposes.
