Technical requirements

To follow the descriptions in this chapter, you will need to create an ASP.NET Core application. To do this, open your console, shell, or Bash terminal, and change to your working directory. Then, use the following command to create a new web application:

dotnet new web -n HostBuilderConfig -o HostBuilderConfig

Now open the project in Visual Studio by double-clicking the project file, or in Visual Studio Code by typing the following command in the already-open console:

cd HostBuilderConfig
code .

Note

The simple web project template changed in .NET 6.0. In version 6.0, Microsoft introduced minimal APIs and changed the project template to use the minimal API approach. I'm going to show you the differences between these templates within this chapter.
