Swagger/OpenAPI Configuration

Configure Swagger/OpenAPI documentation for your BFF.

For complete reference, see Library Guide.

Quick Start

appsettings.json

{
  "affolterNET": {
    "Web": {
      "Swagger": {
        "Enabled": true,
        "Title": "My BFF API",
        "Version": "v1",
        "Description": "Backend-for-Frontend API documentation"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration Options

BFF-Specific Endpoints

The BFF exposes these endpoints in Swagger:

Controller Documentation

/// <summary>
/// User profile operations
/// </summary>
[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class ProfileController : ControllerBase
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the current user's profile
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns>User profile data</returns>
    /// <response code="200">Profile retrieved</response>
    /// <response code="401">Not authenticated</response>
    [HttpGet]
    [Authorize]
    [ProducesResponseType(typeof(UserProfile), 200)]
    [ProducesResponseType(401)]
    public IActionResult GetProfile() { ... }
}

Development vs Production

{
  "affolterNET": {
    "Web": {
      "Swagger": {
        "Enabled": true  // Set false in production
      }
    }
  }
}

Or use environment-specific configuration:

// appsettings.Development.json
{
  "affolterNET": {
    "Web": {
      "Swagger": {
        "Enabled": true
      }
    }
  }
}

// appsettings.Production.json
{
  "affolterNET": {
    "Web": {
      "Swagger": {
        "Enabled": false
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Swagger UI shows 401

• Swagger is served before authentication
• Check if path is correctly excluded from auth

YARP routes not visible

• YARP routes are not documented in Swagger
• Document backend API separately
