How to set Swagger page as default landing page for web api 2 project?

I am working on a WEB API 2 Project. I am using Swagger documentation.

I am also using ODATA V4.

I want to set my default page of my web api to swagger, How can I do it?

Solution

  • You can create a redirect, see an example here:
    http://turoapi.azurewebsites.net/

    All I did was create an index.html with the following code:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='/swagger'" />
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

    With that make sure in Web.config

      <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
      <remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" />
      <remove name="TRACEVerbHandler" />
      <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>

    ... it should not include this tag.
