Hey everyone! Today, I want to share a quick guide on how to create endpoints in C# using minimal APIs. Minimal APIs are a lightweight way to define HTTP endpoints in ASP.NET Core.

Let's dive into some code:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;

var app = WebApplication.Create();

app.MapGet("/helloworld", () => "Hello World");
app.MapPost("/helloworld2", () => "Hello World 2");

app.Run();

In this code snippet:

We create an instance of WebApplication using WebApplication.Create(). We define two endpoints:

  • A GET endpoint at /helloworld which returns "Hello World" when accessed.

  • A POST endpoint at /helloworld2 which returns "Hello World 2" when accessed.

And that's it! With just a few lines of code, we've defined two endpoints using minimal APIs in C#. Feel free to experiment with additional endpoints or functionality.

Happy coding<🌎>!
