The Startup class configures the request pipeline that handles all requests made to the application.
ASP.NET Core apps require a Startup class. By convention, the Startup class is named "Startup". You specify the startup class name in the Main programs WebHostBuilderExtensions UseStartup<TStartup> method.
You can define separate Startup classes for different environments, and the appropriate one will be selected at runtime. If you specify startupAssembly in the WebHost configuration or options, hosting will load that startup assembly and search for a Startup or Startup[Environment] type. See FindStartupType in StartupLoader and Working with multiple environments. UseStartup<TStartup> is the recommended approach.
The Startup class constructor can accept dependencies that are provided through dependency injection. You can use IHostingEnvironment to set up configuration sources and ILoggerFactory to set up logging providers.
The Startup class must include a Configure method and can optionally include a ConfigureServices method, both of which are called when the application starts. The class can also include environment-specific versions of these methods.
Learn about handling exceptions during application startup.
The Configure method is used to specify how the ASP.NET application will respond to HTTP requests. The request pipeline is configured by adding middleware components to an IApplicationBuilder instance that is provided by dependency injection.
In the following example from the default web site template, several extension methods are used to configure the pipeline with support for BrowserLink, error pages, static files, ASP.NET MVC, and Identity.
[!code-csharpMain]
Each Use extension method adds a middleware component to the request pipeline. For instance, the UseMvc extension method adds the routing middleware to the request pipeline and configures MVC as the default handler.
For more information about how to use IApplicationBuilder, see Middleware.
Additional services, like IHostingEnvironment and ILoggerFactory may also be specified in the method signature, in which case these services will be injected if they are available.
The ConfigureServices method is optional; but if used, it's called before the Configure method by the runtime (some features are added before they're wired up to the request pipeline). Configuration options are set in this method.
For features that require substantial setup there are Add[Service] extension methods on IServiceCollection. This example from the default web site template configures the app to use services for Entity Framework, Identity, and MVC:
[!code-csharpMain]
Adding services to the services container makes them available within your application via dependency injection.
ASP.NET Core dependency injection provides application services during an application's startup. You can request these services by including the appropriate interface as a parameter on your Startup class's constructor or one of its Configure or ConfigureServices methods.
Looking at each method in the Startup class in the order in which they are called, the following services may be requested as parameters:
- In the constructor:
IHostingEnvironment,ILoggerFactory - In the
ConfigureServicesmethod:IServiceCollection - In the
Configuremethod:IApplicationBuilder,IHostingEnvironment,ILoggerFactory,IApplicationLifetime
