Headless.Api.Mvc

Framework integration for ASP.NET Core MVC/Web API with controllers, filters, JSON configuration, and common utilities.

Problem Solved

Provides consistent MVC configuration, base controllers, and URL canonicalization for traditional controller-based APIs. Exception-to-ProblemDetails mapping is handled globally by Headless.Api's HeadlessApiExceptionHandler (registered via AddHeadlessProblemDetails()), so MVC actions get the same response shape as Minimal-API endpoints.

Key Features

  • ApiControllerBase - Base controller with common utilities
  • Environment-based action filters (BlockInEnvironmentAttribute, RequireEnvironmentAttribute)
  • URL canonicalization middleware (RedirectToCanonicalUrlRule)
  • Pre-configured JSON and MVC options
  • API versioning integration with API Explorer

Installation

dotnet add package Headless.Api.Mvc

Quick Start

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.AddHeadless().ConfigureMvc();
builder.Services.AddControllers();

var app = builder.Build();

app.MapControllers();
app.Run();

Controller Example

[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public sealed class OrdersController : ApiControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet("{id:int}")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> GetAsync(int id, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        var order = await _service.GetAsync(id, ct).ConfigureAwait(false);
        return order is null ? NotFound() : Ok(order);
    }
}
