Building a Web API in .NET 6 | Minimal API

In this tutorial we’ll build a Web API in .NET 6 aka Minimal API. With just a few lines of code we can not only setup the endpoints for a fully-fledged CRUD API class, but it sets the tone for an entire enterprise application. By the end of this tutorial, you will know: - How to create a Minimal API project - Create and register services with interfaces - Expose service methods through the API and subsequently, data through repositories - Create Web API methods in the Minimal API .NET 6 style For this tutorial there are two pre-requisites .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022. But not to worry I’ll show you where to download them from (check out the Useful Links section below).
