About

The API Generator automatically generates a fully working CRUD Microservice from just your Model (C# Classes) or a JSON Definition. Everything from routes, database handling, migrations, openapi spec, OData etc is working magically out of the box! You just write your model and get a fully working CRUD api with filtering, sorting, selectable fields and everything else OData and classic REST offers.

By using the API Generator, this little code snippet is already a working CRUD API

/// <summary>
/// This is the minimal sample, yes this is a working api ;)
/// </summary>
[Api("/minimal")]
public class MinimalSample : IObjectBase<int>
{
  public int Id { get; set; }
  public string Name { get; set; }
  public int Value { get; set; }
}

Heres another sample:

 [Api("/people", ApiMethodsToGenerate.All )]
 public class Person : Trackable, 
    IObjectBase<Guid>,
    IBeforeUpdate<Person>, // Before Update Hook
    IBeforeDelete<Person>, // BeforeDelete Hook
 {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
 }

And this is also the FULL code for a working API using the JSON mode:

[
    {
      "name": "Car",
      "route": "/cars",
      "caching": true,
      "cacheLiveTime": 1000,
      "events": "POST,PUT,DELETE",
      "idType":  "int", 
      "Fields": [
        {
          "name": "Name",
          "type": "String",
          "maxLength": "200",
          "nullable": false
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
