I’m trying to access a controller from the Startup.cs class. This is a .NET Core application running with Angular for the frontend. Can you please advise me how I can access the controller from the Startup class?
I need to execute some code before
public async Task<IActionResult> InitiateProcess(string returnUrl)
{
var hello = _configuration[ConfigSetting];
await = _ServiceProvider.InitiateJobAsync(hello, returnUrl);
return new EmptyResult();
}
what kind of code you are trying add here ?
I updated my code so you can get an idea. :)
The design makes little sense for many reasons. Can you explain the high level design intent not the solution?
At startup there is no request or http context, which are typically injected and used by the controller. What ever code you want to call should be refactored to a library call from both the controller and startup.
The application should use the controller so it call an API for authentication. Once the authentication is authorized, the external tool calls another method.
All what I need for now is to call the method listed on the question which is what needs to be called when the application is started.
in your scenario, the user-agent authenticated before the application started which makes no logical sense.
Can you clarify the high level requirement? Perhaps you mean middleware and not startup?
Hi @lesponce ,
The Startup class is used to configure the Services required by the app and defined the app's request handling pipeline, as a series of middleware components.
For your scenario, to achieve the Authentication or Authorization, it is better to create a custom middleware or create a custom authorization attribute to handle it.
