I didn't get why should I use this instead of controllers. Doesn't make sense in my head using this if I'm making a CRUD.

It just seems to be performance since it cuts out a lot of the background work the framework does for MVC. If you’re not doing MVC and simply returning JSON from some REST API, minimal APIs are tailored to that versus a controller doing the same. I don’t know what the actual gains are, that would be interesting to see!

If controllers work for you, that's awesome. Why would you want to change that? I'm not against controllers in general. But they are easy to do wrong. I've seen so many examples of controllers with 50-100+ dependencies, and hundreds of endpoints. If you team can maintain thin controllers, more power to you. But when watching a video try to think from a different perspective. Not all developers have the same skill level as you, and they may not know how to write maintainable code. Minimal APIs are more compact, and at any point you're working with a single endpoint. So there is less room for error.

Awesome video, I didn't realise that using the Results inferface is almost like a discriminated union, very nice. What do you think about using carter to separate each endpoint into a separate class, like the handler command/handler approach used with MediatR, or is this overkill? Interested to get your opinion.
@kis.stupid
@kis.stupid Жыл бұрын
Seems a bit overkill indeed since these endpoints shouldn't hold the business logic. Rather orchestrate. The options shown in this video are pretty good, the vertical or maybe even modular approach. If you'd want to keep your business logic independent from AspNetCore framework, you could split those projects into one for the business logic and one for the minimal API.

@@MilanJovanovicTech Nice content. I won't say it is more complex I but do not find it simpler either. You do basically the same thing using an approach we are not used to. You started with MapControllers and a class inheriting from Controller that has the route definitions and methods to process HTTP requests by returning IActionResult. You end up with MapCarter and a class implementing a ICarterModule that has the route definition and methods to process HTTP requests by returning IResult. The shape of the code is the same (and you introduced a dependency to a third party library).

Im sorry but you stated at the beginning "For more cohesion and performance" but you doesnt show it. The only difference is the Method Injection instead of Constructor but thats i can do in an old fashioned Controller aswell. Based on your example here i see no reason why i should switch to Minimal APIs. There might be benefits but it would be helpfull if you really point them out.

When you encounter controller with 20+ endpoints, and some of them have anything than the simplest logic inside, it starts making a lot of sense. You can easily have one endpoint per file, with complete request/response classes. Your whole feature in one place. Albeit, not many people still appreciate this aspect, nor do they enjoy moving away from controllers. I talked about it briefly here: www.milanjovanovic.tech/blog/vertical-slice-architecture

For example if i have more than 20 endpoints in one file i would first ask the question if they really belong together or if there better ways to structure the api and i would ask this regardless the api approach. Another way to solve this would be to use partial classes. Anyway the main topic i really learn from this video was how to structure minimal apis. This was a thing i wasnt sure about how to handle it at all.

Static class instead of instance class. Static methods to instance methods. IActionResult -> IResult Inject dependency in every method instead of constructor though dependency is part of IoC controlling number of instances. Additional extension method for Routing instead of simple Attributes. Additional NuGet package or calling all extension methods in startup instead of calling single MapControllers method. Inheritance with BaseController is skipped, sounding a bit of positive. I am still trying to figure why they are called minimal API's 😁😁. Just because of not inheriting BaseController?

According to MS docs Minimal API doesn't have model binding and validation, doesn't support view rendering So you can not replace ANY controller you want with minimal API.

The video in short: Controllers are bad and wasteful. But we can do functionally the same with minimal API (although we could do exectly the same stuff with parameter injection and so on with controllers). However, to use it we have to implement an ammount of custom methods or use some third-party library. But now we do not use controllers. Why? I don't get the point. Really. With a wise approach you can use controllers without memory loss or injecting unnecessary stuff. Moreover, it is more convenient to auto-generate swagger by controller xml-docs (rather than do tricks with MinAPI). Basically, what I want to say is that the claim that MinAPI is definitely better than controllers is false

@@MilanJovanovicTech no one prevents you from structuring controllers as you want. They are effectively just routing groups. So if you see that your controller consists of actions that should not be together, then just split it. A controller can even consists of a singular action. That is fine. But you can also describe "sibling" methods, that, for example, use same set of services (like, loggers or db contexts) and describe them in a single class. That also prevents you from duplicating same injections (you can move them to the constructor), but doesn't prevent you in any way to specify services unique for a certain action (and inject it via FromServicesAttribute). Once again. I do not say that MinAPI is evil or controllers are the best and everyone should use them. But I just want to be honest and mention that it all depends. Depends on your cases. Depends on complexity of your domain. What I saw in this video was mostly about "how we can implement same structure as for controllers, but without controllers". I didn't see (particularly in this scenario) the reason why we should do it. We changed nothing here, except now our logic is static and we can call it from everywhere else. But again there is not a reason for that. At least I don't see it (maybe I'm wrong).

I think minimal APIs lack in ways to make good API documentation. Now you need to work with an array of arguments and modify their properties instead of adding XML comments, status code descriptions using attributes, and so on.

Actually, the dotnet team didn't create the Minimal API to tell us we must switch from controllers to minimal api. Minimal API is just a simple way for testing and making a very small project faster without needing to create controllers and so on. It's just bunch of extensions methods that are using the same features that have been already existed before. It was also a copy of minimal apis from NodeJs and other languages & frameworks. People wanted to make a small API project very fast and easy with just a few lines of codes, so the Dotnet team added the extension methods to achieve this.

Many of the points you are doing in the begging are not valid. You should not put all of your logic in a single controller. If you have services that are not used or used by few methods then pull them out in a separate controller class.

Thanks for the journey, you've come a long way, and I have enjoyed your content, but I just can't respect a creator that needs stupid thumbnails and click bait headings. this is a trend that might gain views in the short term, but do you really want views from people with no self control or gain a following that comes back again and again for the content? I'm sorry, unsubscribed.

Sorry but I have to jump in. I agree 100% with your opinions on click bait titles, annoying likes and subscribe "in your face" pop-ins. But first I'd be curious to understand what makes you think this video has a click bait title 😳.. But most important, you're missing the only thing that matters.. Is the content valuable? Did you learn something? Do you think the author worked hard to share quality content or just did a copy/paste of a previous tutorial ? I feel sorry for you, everyone has his opinion and we are all free to disagree with Milan's opinions.. but he deserves at least respect and he is definitely not a click baiter ! I wish I could produce half what he's bringing to the community. That being said, keep up the good work Milan. This video was awesome for me, and just in time, as I currently need to find quick and actionable tips to get away from controllers 👍🙏 Just ignore the haters and lousy voices. Inevitable sadly, whoever you are and you do. I'm pretty sure Gandhi, Dr Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela,.. and all the great people who fought as a force of good would get their share of haters in social media. But I disgress 😂 Stay awesome, and thank you
