Hands-on .NET Minimal API for Web Developers - Step 6: Add Dependency Injection

The video tutorial explains the importance of dependency injection in Web API projects, focusing on the differences between minimal and controller APIs. It guides viewers through adding DbContext to the service collection and customizing options for an in-memory database. The tutorial concludes with a setup summary and a transition to implementing the map get function.

What is a key difference between dependency injection in minimal APIs and controller APIs?

• Minimal APIs use dependency injection at the controller level.

• Controller APIs do not support dependency injection.

• Minimal APIs consume injected types at the endpoint level.

• Controller APIs consume injected types at the endpoint level.

What is the first step in adding dependency injection to the service collection?

• Configuring the API endpoints.

• Registering the database context.

• Creating a new service collection.

• Adding a new controller.

Which method is used to add the DbContext to the service collection?

• IncludeDbContext

• RegisterDb

• AddDbContext

• AddService

What is the purpose of using an in-memory database with Entity Framework?

• To permanently store data.

• To simplify testing and development.

• To improve performance in production.

• To enhance security.

What is the final step before implementing the map get function?

• Configuring the database connection string.

• Ensuring all prerequisites are complete.

• Adding more services to the collection.

• Testing the API endpoints.
