ASP.NET Core 8 Guide-ASP.NET Core 8 development guide

Example

If a user is building an API with versioning support, the guide offers code examples using the `IEndpointRouteBuilder` interface in ASP.NET Core 8 to set up API versioning and how to manage different versions concurrently.

Scenario

A developer wants to implement API versioning to ensure backward compatibility for older clients. The guide provides detailed code snippets and explanation on configuring `MapToApiVersion` in the `Startup.cs` or `Program.cs` to allow different API versions in a clean, manageable way.

Example

The guide explains in detail how to optimize database access in an ASP.NET Core 8 API by using the `IAsyncDisposable` interface and efficient entity tracking.

Scenario

A developer experiences performance bottlenecks when accessing a large database in their API. The guide suggests implementing `IAsyncDisposable` for database connections to reduce memory overhead and optimize connection pooling, explaining how to apply it to `DbContext` lifecycle management in Entity Framework Core.

Example

The guide provides an example of creating custom middleware for authentication using `IAuthenticationService` and how to configure it with dependency injection in ASP.NET Core 8.

Scenario

A developer needs to implement a custom authentication process using token-based security, and they want to integrate their custom middleware into the ASP.NET Core 8 pipeline. The guide walks them through creating a middleware that validates tokens and manages user sessions with efficient DI configuration.
