How can I route an External Class Library in my Web API, ASP NET 5

Question

I have created an WEB API in ASP NET 5 and I can reference an external Class Library vNext. I am working on Visual Studio 2015 Community. In that Library I have this controller:

You don't need anything special to allow your external class library to be discovered by IControllerTypeProvider as long as you comply with the requisites:

• has to be class
• can’t be abstract
• has to be public
• has to be top-level (not nested)
• can’t be generic
• has to either derive from Controller base class or end in Controller suffix (for POCOs) and be located in an assembly that references MVC assembly

In your particular case, I think you just need to remove the Route annotation, since it doesn't looks right.

using Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace External.Controllers
{
    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    public class NovosController: Controller
    {
        [HttpGet]
        public IEnumerable<string> Get()
        {
            return new string[] { "I am", "an external library" };
        }
    }
}
