Example:

• ODataRoutingSample: ASP.NET Core OData sample project in this repo.

  • ~/$odata gives a static routing table page of the service

  • ~/swagger gives a swagger/openapi page

  • Append ~/$openapi to each route gives a raw openapi OData page, for example, ~/v1/$openapi

  Please go to sample folder see more samples.

2. Basic Usage

In the ASP.NET Core Web Application project, update your Startup.cs as below:

public class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddDbContext<BookStoreContext>(opt => opt.UseInMemoryDatabase("BookLists"));
        services.AddControllers().AddOData(opt => opt.AddRouteComponents("odata", GetEdmModel()));
    }

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
    {
        // Send "~/$odata" to debug routing if enable the following middleware
        // app.UseODataRouteDebug();

        app.UseRouting();
        app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
        {
            endpoints.MapControllers();
        });
    }

    private static IEdmModel GetEdmModel()
    {
        // …
    }
}

That's it.

3. Building, Testing, Debugging and Release
