18.0: Swagger Setup

Install and Setup Swagger

In this section, we set up Swagger, a tool that allows us to visualize all the endpoints of our API and easily test them.

1. In Visual Studio, go to Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console

2. Make sure ElevenNote.WebAPI is set as the default project

3. Type install-package swashbuckle

   • Triple check that your default project is ElevenNote.WebAPI before you hit enter, my selection kept jumping to Models

   • Hit Enter

     

4. When it's finished installing, close the Package Manager Console

5. Go to ElevenNote.WebAPI -> App_Start -> SwaggerConfig.cs

6. Replace the entire contents of the file with this code.

7. 

Next, we'll test endpoints in Swagger.
