Generate server side asp.net (c#) code?

[bagusflyer]

I'm wondering if it's possible to generate server side asp.net code based on the swagger json or yaml file? Thanks.

@bagusflyer currently we do not have server generator for C# (WebApi). Do you have cycle to help implement it based on other server generator (e.g. JAX-RS, Sinatra, PHP Silex, etc) ?

Unfortunatly I have no time to contribute nowadays but I am joining the request.

The beta version of the C# WebApi generator can be as simple as the following to start with:

1. Community implements getPetById of Petstore in a WebApi project
2. Swagger core team converts the files in the WebApi project back into mustache template.

Then we'll implement other methods (POST, PUT, DELETE) one by one.

I discovered https://github.com/domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle
it fits my needs.

[wing328]

@NahumLitvin I believe Swashbuckle is for generating OpenAPI/Swagger spec and integration with other Swagger components (e.g. swagger-ui).

The request here is to generate the server stub in C# Web Api given an OpenAPI/Swagger spec.

So what exactly are you looking for as a start? A complete ASP. net WebAPI project?

I may be able to help with that. I came here looking for the capability as we are moving to a design first approach, and highly leverage WebAPI at the company I'm working at.

@nin9creative thanks for offering help. Yes, ideally a ASP.net WebApi that implements the following endpoints to start with:

• [GET] getPetById
• [POST] addPet
• [POST] updatePetWithForm
• [DELETE] deletePet

Then we will construct the mustache template based on that.

@nin9creative @wing328 I've started on two examples using .net 4.5 and asp.net 5. https://github.com/jimschubert/webapi-swagger-samples

@jimschubert I think that's what we need as a starting point 🍻

Are you working on the generator for WebApi as well? (just want to avoid duplicated efforts)

I'm working on automatically generating test cases for C# API client so I won't have time until I finish that.

[jimschubert]

There are still some things I need to work out.

The one project is .net 4.5 because mono doesn't do 4.5.2 and I kept getting errors on 4.5.1 and 4.6. Even then, the project doesn't run correctly through xsp4. I was going to see if there's a Windows 10 IoT container I can use. If not, I figured a successful compile would be enough verification.

I think the swagger attributes for the asp.net 5 project can just be pulled from the other source. To make them equivalent, I would need to set up Swagger to pull from xml comments.

Then I was going to create an integration test project like I have here for the asp.net 5 verification tool.
