ServiceComposer.AspNetCore

Output formatters

Available starting with v1.9.0

Enabling output formatters support is a matter of:

builder.Services.AddViewModelComposition(options =>
{
    options.ResponseSerialization.UseOutputFormatters = true;
});
builder.Services.AddControllers();

^{snippet source | anchor}

The required steps are:

• set UseOutputFormatters to true
• Set up the MVC components by calling one of the following:
  • AddControllers()
  • AddControllersAndViews()
  • AddMvc()
  • AddRazorPages()

The above configuration uses the new System.Text.Json serializer as the default json serializer to format json responses. It’s possible to plug-in the Newtonsoft Json.Net serializer output formatter by adding a package reference to the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson package, and using the following configuration:

builder.Services.AddViewModelComposition(options =>
{
    options.ResponseSerialization.UseOutputFormatters = true;
});
builder.Services.AddControllers()
    .AddNewtonsoftJson();
