Nullable Reference Types

Are there any plans to add annotations for Nullable Reference Types? As in

<Nullable>enable</Nullable>

It’s probably quite some work, but as all the new project templates come with it enabled by default, I think that’s one of the last features to have to be fully “.NET 6 compliant”.

I’ve briefly enabled it and I was swamped with errors and warnings of course. But I guess we can do it slowly, one project at a time (or even one file at a time by using the #nullable enable directive on top) and see where we get?

I’m willing to try and help with this, but I wanted to be sure there’s interest first 😉

+1 for FastEndpoints

Ok, I’ll see what I can do…

Concerning the Minimal API’s: it’s already partly there: you’re already using the new hosting model and only program.cs with top level statements.

I think we should eventually look into converting to endpoints as well though, just not with all endpoints defined in program.cs which is now being done in almost every sample. There are existing libraries for organising that already. There’s Ardalis.ApiEndpoints. There’s also FastEndpoints and I think Carter also does that. And all of them promise much better performance than controllers, but with the same ease of organization.
