За малко да забравя да ви кажа за играта на миналата година. Изиграх я преди доста време, но дълго се чудих дали точно тя да спечели и после забравих да напиша. Първо защо се чудих…

   When building a web API with ASP.NET in most cases I want to generate Swagger (a.k.a. OpenAPI, what a boring name). Since records became a thing in C# I almost exclusively use positional records for my DTOs. I just assumed that Swashbuckle handles everything perfectly. It was pointed out to me that our Swagger does not mark non-nullable properties as required and I then realized that in Swagger just like in JS non-nullable and required were not the same thing. I started digging and I found out that the OpenAPI specs allows for much more information around validation like a regex pattern, min and max value and a couple more that are rarer. So why are these not generated for my project?

   Another year another C# version. Of course, the version just released is 12 but I am going to share my impressions of version 11 after using it for a year. As is my new policy I will only share my impression while leaving the explanation of what they do to Microsoft...

   Изиграх доста игри за да напиша тази статия. Повечето дори не бяха от 2022. Например изиграх пълната Monkey Island серия за да стигна до Return to Monkey Island. Последната е великолепна игра, може би най-добрият point & click куест, но все пак не тя спечели наградата. Наградата я спечели една игра, която пробвах само защото я имаше в Game Pass. В началото даже си мислих, че я свалям за детето, но се оказа че нещата са много сериозни. Tunic е шедьовърът на 2022...

   Yeah, I know C# 11 was released weeks ago but I have not written about C# 10 yet! I have been working with C# 10 for a year and it is time to share my impressions. Of course I did not use every feature, especially the low-level ones and in these cases I will share my opinion guided by my expectations about how I would feel if I used it. I will not explain what the features do but you can follow along with Microsoft's explanation of the features here...
