Requirements

• .NET 7, .NET 8, or .NET 9
• Routya.ResultKit v2.0.0+

Installation

dotnet add package Routya.ResultKit.AspNetCore

Quick Start

1. Register Services

using Routya.ResultKit.AspNetCore.Extensions;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add ResultKit services
builder.Services.AddResultKitProblemDetails(options =>
{
    options.ProblemTypeBaseUri = "https://api.example.com/problems/";
    options.IncludeExceptionDetails = builder.Environment.IsDevelopment();
    options.IncludeTraceId = true;
});

var app = builder.Build();

// Add exception handler middleware (early in pipeline)
app.UseResultKitExceptionHandler();

app.MapControllers();
app.Run();

2. Use in Minimal APIs

app.MapPost("/users", (CreateUserRequest request, HttpContext context) =>
{
    var result = request.Validate();
    return result.ToHttpResult(context);
});

Success Response (200 OK):

{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "john@example.com"
}

Validation Error Response (400 Bad Request):

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json

{
  "type": "urn:problem-type:validation-error",
  "title": "Validation Failed",
  "status": 400,
  "detail": "One or more validation errors occurred.",
  "instance": "/users",
  "errors": {
    "email": ["The Email field is required."],
    "name": ["The Name field is required."]
  },
  "traceId": "00-abc123..."
}

3. Use in MVC Controllers

[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class UsersController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet("{id}")]
    public IActionResult GetUser(int id)
    {
        var user = _repository.FindById(id);
        
        if (user == null)
            return Result<User>.NotFound($"User with ID {id} not found")
                .ToActionResult(HttpContext);
        
        return Result<User>.Ok(user).ToActionResult();
    }
    
    [HttpPost]
    public IActionResult CreateUser(CreateUserRequest request)
    {
        var validationResult = request.Validate();
        if (!validationResult.Success)
            return validationResult.ToActionResult(HttpContext);
        
        var user = _repository.Create(request);
        
        // Result.Created() automatically sets 201 status code
        return Result<User>.Created(user).ToActionResult(HttpContext);
    }
    
    [HttpPost("{id}/process")]
    public IActionResult ProcessUser(int id)
    {
        _processor.QueueForProcessing(id);
        
        // Result.Accepted() automatically sets 202 status code
        return Result<object>.Accepted(new { id, status = "queued" })
            .ToActionResult(HttpContext);
    }
}

Exception Handling

The middleware automatically converts unhandled exceptions to RFC 7807 ProblemDetails:

app.MapGet("/users/{id}", (int id) =>
{
    if (id <= 0)
        throw new ArgumentException("ID must be positive");
    
    // Automatically becomes 400 Bad Request with ProblemDetails
    return Results.Ok(GetUser(id));
});

Custom Exceptions

using Routya.ResultKit.AspNetCore.Exceptions;
using Routya.ResultKit.ProblemTypes;

public class InsufficientFundsException : ProblemDetailsException
{
    public InsufficientFundsException(decimal available, decimal requested)
        : base(
            type: StandardProblemTypes.Custom("insufficient-funds"),
            title: "Insufficient Funds",
            status: 400,
            detail: $"Balance ${available} is less than requested ${requested}")
    {
        Extensions["availableBalance"] = available;
        Extensions["requestedAmount"] = requested;
    }
}

Custom Exception Mappers

public class UserNotFoundExceptionMapper : IExceptionMapper
{
    public bool CanHandle(Exception exception) 
        => exception is UserNotFoundException;
    
    public ProblemDetails Map(Exception exception, HttpContext context)
    {
        var ex = (UserNotFoundException)exception;
        return ProblemDetailsBuilder.NotFound(ex.Message)
            .WithInstance(context.Request.Path)
            .WithExtension("userId", ex.UserId)
            .Build();
    }
}

// Register
builder.Services.AddExceptionMapper(new UserNotFoundExceptionMapper());

Configuration Options

builder.Services.AddResultKitProblemDetails(options =>
{
    // Base URI for domain-specific problem types
    options.ProblemTypeBaseUri = "https://api.example.com/problems/";
    
    // Include exception details (stacktrace, etc.) - should be false in production
    options.IncludeExceptionDetails = builder.Environment.IsDevelopment();
    
    // Automatically add trace ID to all problem responses
    options.IncludeTraceId = true;
    
    // Name of the trace ID extension member
    options.TraceIdExtensionName = "traceId";
    
    // JSON naming policy (default: camelCase)
    options.NamingPolicy = JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase;
});

Built-in Exception Mappings

The following exceptions are automatically mapped:

Result Status Codes

Result<T> carries a StatusCode property that determines the HTTP status code:

Result<User>.Ok(user)        // StatusCode = 200
Result<User>.Created(user)   // StatusCode = 201
Result<User>.Accepted(data)  // StatusCode = 202
Result<User>.NotFound()      // StatusCode = 404 (from ProblemDetails)
Result<User>.BadRequest()    // StatusCode = 400 (from ProblemDetails)
// etc.

When calling ToHttpResult() or ToActionResult(), the appropriate HTTP response is automatically generated:

No need to manually specify status codes - the semantic intent is carried by the Result itself.

API Reference

Extension Methods

ToHttpResult<T>()

Converts Result<T> to IResult for Minimal APIs. Automatically uses the status code from result.StatusCode.

public static IResult ToHttpResult<T>(this Result<T> result, HttpContext? context = null)

Parameters:

• result - The Result to convert
• context - Optional HttpContext for setting the instance property from the request path

Returns: Appropriate IResult based on result.StatusCode (200→Ok, 201→Created, 202→Accepted, etc.)

ToActionResult<T>()

Converts Result<T> to IActionResult for MVC controllers. Automatically uses the status code from result.StatusCode.

public static IActionResult ToActionResult<T>(this Result<T> result, HttpContext? context = null)

Parameters:

• result - The Result to convert
• context - Optional HttpContext for setting the instance property from the request path

Returns: Appropriate IActionResult based on result.StatusCode (200→OkObjectResult, 201→CreatedResult, 202→AcceptedResult, etc.)

ToProblemResult()

Converts ProblemDetails to IResult.

public static IResult ToProblemResult(this ProblemDetails problemDetails)

ToProblemActionResult()

Converts ProblemDetails to IActionResult.

public static IActionResult ToProblemActionResult(this ProblemDetails problemDetails)

Converters

ProblemDetailsConverter.ToMicrosoft()

Converts Routya.ResultKit.ProblemDetails to Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.ProblemDetails.

public static Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.ProblemDetails ToMicrosoft(
    Routya.ResultKit.ProblemDetails source)

ProblemDetailsConverter.FromMicrosoft()

Converts Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.ProblemDetails to Routya.ResultKit.ProblemDetails.

public static Routya.ResultKit.ProblemDetails FromMicrosoft(
    Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.ProblemDetails source)
