How to redirect root to swagger in Asp.Net Core 2.x?

Question

I'm building Asp.Net Core 2.x web api integrated with Swagger. To access the swagger, I had to append /swagger to the url, eg. https://mywebapi.azurewebsites.net/swagger/

How can I redirect https://mywebapi.azurewebsites.net/ to https://mywebapi.azurewebsites.net/swagger/ ?

Answer 1

Install Microsoft.AspNetCore.Rewrite from Nuget

In Startup.cs

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env) 

before

app.UseMvc(); 

add

var option = new RewriteOptions(); option.AddRedirect("^$", "swagger"); app.UseRewriter(option);
