Create BookController

Right click main folder and add a directory Controllers. alt text

Right click again to add a class/interface BookController.cs.

The code should look like this

csharp

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;

namespace Library.Controllers;

[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class BookController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        var book = new { Id = 1, Title = "Dotnet" };

        return Ok(book);
    }
}

Back in Program.cs, add these 2 lines

csharp

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddControllers(); //add this

//...

var app = builder.Build();

app.MapControllers(); //add this

//...

In Library.http, change the API to GET /book/

Run the project again and run Library.http to ensure it works. alt text
