FastSharp.Models 1.0.0-beta.6

FastSharp

FastSharp is a lightweight library for building APIs in C# and ASP.NET Core (Minimal APIs). Full CRUDs and custom endpoints, organized by domain modules, in a single line of code.

Why FastSharp?

In ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs, even a simple CRUD for one entity means writing the same boilerplate over and over. FastSharp eliminates that:

// This single line generates 6 REST endpoints backed by EF Core
AddCRUD<Product, int>("products");

No controllers. No repetition. Just modules organized by domain.

Installation

dotnet add package FastSharp.Modules
dotnet add package FastSharp.Models

FastSharp.Modules is the core. FastSharp.Models contains only the model interfaces — add it to projects that don't need the full core.

Quick Start

The minimum setup requires 4 files. This example uses an in-memory database so you can run it immediately.

1. Install the dependencies

dotnet add package FastSharp.Modules
dotnet add package FastSharp.Models
dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.InMemory

2. Your model

// Models/Product.cs
using FastSharp.Models;

public class Product : IModel<int>
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public decimal Price { get; set; }
}

3. Your DbContext

// Data/AppDbContext.cs
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

public class AppDbContext : DbContext
{
    public AppDbContext(DbContextOptions<AppDbContext> options) : base(options) { }
    public DbSet<Product> Products => Set<Product>();
}

4. Your module

// Modules/Products/ProductsModule.cs
using FastSharp.Modules;

public class ProductsModule : Module<AppDbContext>
{
    public ProductsModule()
    {
        ConfigureModule("api/", module => module.WithTags("Products"));
        AddCRUD<Product, int>("products");
    }
}

5. Program.cs

using FastSharp.Modules;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddDbContext<AppDbContext>(opt =>
    opt.UseInMemoryDatabase("fastsharp-demo"));

builder.Services.AddFastSharpEndpoints();
builder.Services.AddOpenApi();

var app = builder.Build();
app.MapFastSharpEndpoints();
app.MapOpenApi();
app.Run();

Run the project and open /openapi/v1.json — you'll see all 6 endpoints ready to use.

What does AddCRUD generate?

Configuration

Disable specific endpoints

AddCRUD<Product, int>("products", crud =>
{
    crud.DisableEndpoint(GenericEndpoint.GetList);
});

Use DTOs

AddCRUD<Product, int>("products", crud =>
{
    crud.Update<ProductDto>();
    // Or apply DTOs to all endpoints:
    // crud.ConfigureAll<ProductDto>();
});

Add metadata for OpenAPI

AddCRUD<Product, int>("products", crud =>
{
    crud.Get(endpoint =>
        endpoint.WithDescription("Get a product by its unique identifier"));
});

Add custom endpoints to the same module

public ProductsModule()
{
    ConfigureModule("api/", module => module.WithTags("Products"));
    AddCRUD<Product, int>("products");

    // Custom endpoints inherit the module's group configuration
    Include<CheckProductStock>();
}

public class CheckProductStock : IEndpoint
{
    public void Map(RouteGroupBuilder app)
    {
        app.MapGet("/{id}/stock", async ([FromRoute] int id) =>
        {
            return Results.Ok($"Checking stock for product {id}");
        })
        .WithTags("prueba");
    }
}

Architecture

FastSharp is built on Modular Slices — group your logic by domain, not by technical layers.

YourProject/
└── Modules/
    ├── Products/
    │   ├── ProductsModule.cs
    │   ├── CheckProductStock.cs
    │   └── ProductDto.cs
    └── Orders/
        ├── OrdersModule.cs
        └── OrderDto.cs

Each module is a self-contained unit: its routes, its DTOs, its custom endpoints. FastSharp auto-discovers all modules in your assembly — no manual registration needed.

Requirements

• .NET 10 or higher
• Entity Framework Core
• A registered DbContext in the dependency container
• Models implementing IModel<TId>
• Modules inheriting from Module<TDbContext>
