AspNetCore DotNetCore MinimalApi

This post is about how to implement api versioning in ASP.NET Core 6.0 Minimal APIs. Earlier Minimal APIs versioning was not supported. Recently ASP.NET Core team introduced versioning in ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs. To implement it, first we need to create a Web API with Minimal API - we need .NET 6.0 or more to do this. Since I installed .NET 7 Preview versions, I am using the --framework version parameter. We can create web api with the command like this - dotnet new webapi -o WeatherForecastApi -minimal --framework net6.0. Once it is done, we need to add reference of Asp.Versioning.Http version 6.0.0-preview.3 using the command dotnet add package Asp.Versioning.Http --version 6.0.0-preview.3.
