Minimal APIs at a glance in .NET 6

I'm happy to get rid of the "organized OOP template" which is really just a bloaty mess of unnecessary classes. Given that all the IoC and request binding systems are supported in these minimal APIs I have no reason to believe I'll ever have to write a Controller class in .NET 6 again at the moment. And I won't miss it. The MVC pattern from ASP.NET MVC never did make sense for web requests.

I never considered this as OOP ... they are just names to give some organization. I think the only OOP is the instantiation of the controllers ... which are instantiated per request => pointless ;).

So you are right, easy to transfer, but we will see midterm new file/naming based structures showing up when the first teams working with minimal apis with massive amount of apis.

which has nothing to do with oop. that is IoC and they are (by default) scoped per request (but do not need to be scoped per request, singleton controllers are fine. (AddControllersAsServices)) btw. controllers by default do not get "built" by IoC but the helper "ActivatorUtilities#CreateInstance<T>(IServiceProvider, Object[])" uses it to resolve dependencies of the controller. if you add "AddControllersAsServices" it will use the IoC directly and skip using "ActivatorUtilities#CreateInstance" (and the IServiceProvider of the controller as created with the IServiceScopeFactory) and you can basically overwrite the behavior however you want, by using `IControllerFactory`.
