.NET source generator turns 50 lines of api drudgery into one: because nothing says innovation like hiding the http status code mess

Developers using ASP.NET can now create APIs with significantly reduced boilerplate code thanks to a new solution utilizing source generators. The REslava.Result package, available on NuGet, enables developers to generate result extensions, reducing code by up to 80%. This is achieved through a one-time setup in the Program.cs file, allowing for simplified API endpoint creation. For example, a previously 15-line endpoint can be condensed to just three lines, with smart error mapping automatically handling errors such as "not found" and "validation" with corresponding HTTP status codes. The solution supports various HTTP methods, including GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, with extensions such as ToIResult and ToPostResult. By leveraging this technology, developers can streamline their API development process, increasing productivity and reducing the risk of errors. The REslava.Result package is now available for use, with documentation and examples provided on GitHub.
