Generating a JS-client based on a ASP.NET WebAPI Controller

Question

In modern web-projects that use RESTful API\'s we often see AJAX-calls like the one below littered around our JavaScript-files.

$.ajax({
    type: \"POST\",
             


        

Answer 1

I'm working on the Swagger open-source toolchain NSwag for .NET: With this tool you can generate the TypeScript client for a single or multiple Web API controllers.

In the UI just

1. Select the Web API DLL
2. Select the controller classes
3. Generate TypeScript client code (in your case, select the JQueryCallbacks or JQueryPromises template)

Have a look at http://nswag.org

FYI: TypeScript is a language which gets transpiled to JavaScript
