public class Endpoint : EndpointWithoutRequest

epres

Scaffolds an endpoint without a request dto but with a response dto

public class Endpoint : EndpointWithoutRequest<Response>

public class Response {}

epval

public class Mapper : Mapper<Request, Response, Entity>

VS New Item Template

If you're doing vertical slice architecture and placing each individual feature in their own namespace, you can take advantage of the new item template added to the "add new file" dialog of visual studio to make it convenient to add feature file sets to your project.

Once installed, your visual studio add new item dialog will have FastEndpoints Feature File Set listed under Installed > Visual C# node. Then, instead of entering a file name, simply enter the namespace you want your new feature to be added to followed by .cs

A new feature file set will be created in the folder you selected.

There will be 4 new files created under the namespace you chose.

• Data.cs - Use this class to place all of your data access logic.

• Models.cs - Place your request, response DTOs and the validator in this file.

• Mapper.cs - Domain entity mapping logic will live here.

• Endpoint.cs - This will be your new endpoint definition.
