Endpoints Not Visible in EndpointsApiExplorer

[johnholliday]

Declaring minimal API endpoints in a Carter module hides them from the EndpointsApiExplorer.

Does this sample app work for you?

The problem is that the EndpointsApiExplorer requires literal path strings.

The problem is not with Carter. The EndpointsApiExplorer cannot recognize paths that are declared with const or static strings. They have to be literal strings. In other words...

This works

public class ActorsModule : ICarterModule
{
  public void AddRoutes(IEndpointRouteBuilder app)
  {
    app.MapGet("/actors", GetAllActors).WithName("GetActors");
  }
}

This does not work. The Api explorer view will be empty.

public class ActorsModule : ICarterModule
{
  public static string ActorsRoute = "/actors";
  public void AddRoutes(IEndpointRouteBuilder app)
  {
    app.MapGet(ActorsRoute, GetAllActors).WithName("GetActors");
  }
}
