Endpoint Reflection

Combines reflection and XML comment parsing to put endpoint details at your fingertips.

var endpoints = assembly.GetEndpoints();

Provides:

  • Route & Verb
  • Useable example route with route params filled in XML examples
  • Endpoint method details
  • XML comments
  • Validation of XML comments with suggestions on how to fix errors

Getting Started

  1. Grab the assembly that contains endpoints you want to reflect:
var assembly = typeof(SomeClassInYourProject).Assembly;
  • There are many standard ways to grab the Assembly. This is just one example
  1. Get the endpoints:
IEnumerable<HttpEndpoint> endpoints = assembly.GetEndpoints();

Endpoint Info

GetEndpoints returns a collection of HttpEndpoint instances with info describing the endpoint.

HttpEndpoint includes:

Route Details

  • Route - The route to the endpoint without the base URL
  • ExampleRoute - A useable route that has the route params replaced from examples in the XML comments
  • an XML example value must be present for the ExampleRoute to be constructed, otherwise it will be empty
  • Verb - The HTTP verb the endpoint acts on

XML Comments & Example Values

  • XmlSummary - the <summary> field from XML comments on an endpoint method
  • XmlReturns - the XML <returns> field
  • XmlRemarks - a collection of <remarks> fields
  • XmlExceptions - a collection of <exception> details, including exception full type name and description
  • EndpointParam.XMLDescription - description in a <param> field
  • EndpointParam.XmlExample - an example value in a <param example="5"> field

Validation

  • XmlRouteValidationErrors - a collection of errors in the XML comments that prevent building an example route
  • AllXmlValidationErrors - a collection of all endpoint errors like missing XML comments

Request/Response Types

  • BodyPayloadType - the type of payload expected in the body of a request
  • ResponseTypes - The reponse types listed using the [ProducesResponseType] attributes on the endpoint

Method Info

  • ReturnType - the return type in the method signature
  • MethodName - The name of the endpoint method
  • MethodParams - info on the params the endpoint method accepts. Includes param Type, XML comments, and useage type

Controller Details

  • ControllerType - the type of the controller that contains the endpoint
  • Assembly - the assembly that contains the controller & endpoint
