Danom.MinimalApi 2.1.1

Danom.MinimalApi

Danom.MinimalApi is a library that provides a set of utilities to help integrate the Danom library with common tasks in ASP.NET Core Minimal API applications.

Key Features

• Extension methods for converting Option<T> and Result<T, TError> types to IResult responses.
• Support for both standard and typed results in Minimal APIs.

Design Goals

• Simplify the handling of optional and result-based data in Minimal APIs.
• Provide a clean and intuitive API for developers familiar with Danom and ASP.NET Core.

Getting Started

Install the Danom.MinimalApi NuGet package:

PM>  Install-Package Danom.MinimalApi

Or using the dotnet CLI

dotnet add package Danom.MinimalApi

Basic Usage

Returning Option

• Some: Returns 200 OK with the value.
• None: Return 404 Not Found (or a custom result, if provided).

app.MapGet("/user/{id}", (int id) => {
    var user = FindUser(id);
    return Results.Extensions.Option(user);
});

Or, with a custom result:

app.MapGet("/user/{id}", (int id) => {
    var user = FindUser(id);
    return Results.Extensions.Option(user, () => Results.Conflict());
});

Returning Result

• Ok: Returns 200 OK with the value.
• Error: Returns 400 Bad Request (or a custom IResult, if provided).

app.MapPost("/user", (User user) => {
    var result = TryCreateUser(user);
    return Results.Extensions.Result(result);
});

Or, with a custom result:

app.MapPost("/user", (User user) => {
    var result = TryCreateUser(user);
    return Results.Extensions.Result(result, error => Results.UnprocessableEntity());
});

Typed Results

If you want to use ASP.NET Core's typed results, Danom.MinimalApi provides additional extension methods.

Returning Typed Option

• Some: Returns OptionHttpResult<T> and 200 OK.
• None: Returns OptionHttpResult<T> and 404 Not Found (or a custom IResult, if provided).

using Danom;
using Danom.MinimalApi;

app.MapGet("/user/{id}", (int id) => {
    var user = FindUser(id);
    return DanomTypedResults.Option(user);
});

// or, with a custom error handler
app.MapGet("/user/{id}/custom", (int id) => {
    var user = FindUser(id);
    return DanomTypedResults.Option(user,
        noneResult: () => Results.NotFound("Custom not found!"));
});

Returning Typed Result

• Ok: Returns ResultHttpResult<T, TError> and 200 OK.
• Error: Returns ResultHttpResult<T, TError> and 400 Bad Request

using Danom;
using Danom.MinimalApi;

app.MapPost("/user", (User user) => {
    var result = TryCreateUser(user);
    return DanomTypedResults.Result(result);
});

// or, with a custom error handler
app.MapPost("/user/custom", (User user) => {
    var result = TryCreateUser(user);
    return DanomTypedResults.Result(result,
        errorResult: error => Results.Ok(new { Message = "There was a problem", error }));
});


// or, return a problem details response
app.MapPost("/user/problem", (User user) => {
    var result = TryCreateUser(user);
    return DanomTypedResults.ResultProblem(result);
});
