Baseline response (no ZPI)
```csharp
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
namespace MyApi.Controllers
{
[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class MyController : ControllerBase
{
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Get()
{
// Return a simple message
return Ok("Hello, World!");
}
}
}
```
In this example:
- `MyController` is the name of the controller.
- `[ApiController]` attribute enables API-specific features such as automatic model validation.
- `[Route("api/[controller]")]` attribute specifies the base route for the controller. The `[controller]` token is replaced with the name of the controller, which in this case is `My`.
- `[HttpGet]` attribute specifies that the `Get` method handles HTTP GET requests.
- `IActionResult` is the return type of the `Get` method, which allows for a variety of return types, including `OkObjectResult`, `NotFoundResult`, etc.
- `Ok("Hello, World!")` returns a 200 OK response with the message "Hello, World!".
Enhanced response (with ZPI)
```csharp
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
namespace MyApi.Controllers
{
[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class MyController : ControllerBase
{
private readonly ILogger<MyController> _logger;
public MyController(ILogger<MyController> logger)
{
_logger = logger;
}
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Get()
{
try
{
_logger.LogInformation("GET request received");
return Ok("Hello, World!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_logger.LogError(ex, "Error handling GET request");
return StatusCode(500, "Internal Server Error");
}
}
}
}
```
This ASP.NET Core controller has a single GET endpoint that returns a "Hello, World!" message. The controller uses dependency injection to get an instance of `ILogger<MyController>`, which is used to log information and errors. The `Get` method is decorated with the `[HttpGet]` attribute to specify that it handles HTTP GET requests. If an exception occurs during the execution of the `Get` method, it is caught and logged, and a 500 Internal Server Error response is returned.
In the `Startup.cs` file, you would need to add the following lines to register the logger and the controller:
```csharp
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddControllers();
services.AddLogging(loggingBuilder => loggingBuilder.AddConsole());
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
app.UseRouting();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllers();
});
}
```
