Swagger WebApi create json on build

Question

Is there any way to create the swagger json during the build task of my web api? I want to use the json to feed it into a code generator and generate a typescript definition file.

Any help is more than welcome!

You can use the NSwag command line tools like this:

nswag.exe webapi2swagger /assembly:"path/to/assembly.dll" /output:"path/to/swagger.json"

This generates a Swagger specification with for all controllers in the given DLL.
