Hands-on .NET Minimal API for Web Developers - Returning the Results in Minimal API

The lecture discusses different ways to return values from map methods in minimal APIs. It contrasts the approaches used in controller APIs, such as primitive types, IActionResult, and ActionResult, with the simpler method in minimal APIs using IResult. The IResult interface represents the result of an HTTP endpoint, and the Results factory simplifies returning HTTP operation results. The lecture also covers various HTTP status codes and how to handle errors using the Results class.

• IActionResult

What is the purpose of the Results factory in minimal APIs?

• To create new HTTP endpoints

• To handle database connections

• To simplify the use of IResult

• To manage user authentication

Which HTTP status code is used to indicate a successful GET request?
