cool-webapi VS Swashbuckle.AspNetCore

So far I have added and configured several packages to the cool-webapi project and in the future articles I will add more packages and configuration and the Startup class will become a large class.

You can find the source code for this walkthrough on Github.

Open Startup.cs class and follwing codes:

In the previous article, I wrote about API versioning and how to add Swagger to the sample project with support of API versioning. In this article, I show how to add custom middleware to handle exceptions globally and create a custom response when an error occurred.

Open the cool-webpi project and Install Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Versioning.ApiExplorer package

Source code for this walkthrough could found on the Github.

It isn't where it needs to be. Notably, it cannot out-of-the-box handle open generic data types. There's also plenty of issues logged for this library. - Personally, that makes me think the approach is overly complicated and doesn't do its job as well as it should.

I have been checking all the sites about web api swagger to file but it seems theres some issue exporting swagger file on net 6.. any one can help us on this issue? https://github.com/domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle.AspNetCore/issues/2585

Also, there are multiple open bugs regarding memory utilization issues with Swagger, such as this one.

Hi there. I had an interesting task: to update the Swashbuckle.AspNetCore version from "4.0.1" to "6.2.3". It looked very simple but it was not what it looked like. The main problem was breaking changes which happened when passing from version 4 to version 5. Swashbuckle.AspNetCore began to use Swagger/OpenAPI version v3 instead of OpenAPI v2. The project makes use of NSwag to generate httpClient for getting data from another microservice. Any attempt to regenerate auto generated code changed it after updating Swashbuckle.AspNetCore version. These caused a lot of build errors. I should have decreased differencies between the new code and old one. Main difference which cause incompatibility in the project were:

Trying to generate swagger from the compiled dll using this command with the swagger CLI:

Swashbuckle Swagger

That’s exactly what I meant. There’s about 0 maintenance required most of the time. Take a look at their official nuget GitHub page. This should work out of the box with ASP.NET core 3.0 and greater. For 5.0 onwards, the MVC template comes pre-configured with it.

In Swashbuckle you can do this as described here: https://github.com/domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle.AspNetCore#generate-multiple-swagger-documents
