AspNet.KickStarter

This library provides small helpers to reduce the repetitive code used to run AspNet Minimal API projects.

The AspNet.KickStarter package can be used as a single reference to pull in all of the individual packages in the collection.

To reduce the dependencies the individual packages may be referenced instead.

  • AspNet.KickStarter.Core This is the base library that provides the ApiBuilder.
  • AspNet.KickStarter.AddIn.xxx These are the packages that provide the extended functionality such as OpenTelemetry and FluentValidation.
  • AspNet.KickStarter.CQRS This provides a number of interfaces and classes to use when working with MediatR.
  • AspNet.KickStarter.FunctionalResult Includes functional result types.

ApiBuilder

This simplifies the bootstrapping code to run a minimal API with optional support for Serilog, FluentValidation, Prometheus metrics and Swagger.

The most basic use in a Program.cs file would be

await new ApiBuilder().Build(args).RunAsync();

For something more visible, add Swagger and some endpoints:

await new ApiBuilder().WithSwagger().WithHealthHandler().Build(args).RunAsync();

Many fluent extension methods are available through the AddIn packages to add extra functionality. Each extension may provide additional configuration parameters.

Further information about the extensions may be found in the readme for the AddIn package. See NuGet for the full list of AddIns.

await new ApiBuilder()
    .WithSerilog()
    .WithSwagger()
    .WithHealthHandler()
    .WithServices(builder => {...})
    .WithEndpoints(app => {...})
    .WithMappings(() => {...})
    .WithOpenTelemetry()
    .WithFluentValidationFromAssemblyContaining<T>()
    .WithAdditionalConfiguration(builder => {...})
    .Build(args)
    .RunAsync();

IEndpointRouteBuilder Extensions

These extensions consolidate the AspNet extensions

app.MapXXX(route, handler)
   .WithName(name)
   .WithDescription(description)
   .WithOpenApi()

into a single extension with parameters for the name and description.

MapXXX(route, name, description, handler)
