Fiona

---

---

Fiona is a web api framework written in .Net. As a developer, you will be able to create API easily and quickly. The planned key feature is a GUI where a developer will be able to create API using blocks like a blueprint in UE.

In the beginning, I used HttpListener, but in the distant future, I want to write my HTTP handshake.

The project was initiated as part of the "100 commitów" competition

The Repo will be renamed after 100 commits competition because I came up with the idea for the name after registering the repo.

Is it ready for production

Nope, maybe in the future

Why this project's name is Fiona

Because Fiona it's the name of my dog, which one I adopted from dog shelter few days before I start this project

Why I want to do this ecosystem

There are two reasons

1. I want to learn new think like make own http server.
2. I want to create a competition for asp.net because I don't currently know a c# alternative to it.

How to run a simple server

in Program.cs

using Fiona.Hosting;
using Fiona.Hosting.Abstractions;

IFionaHostBuilder serviceBuilder = FionaHostBuilder.CreateHostBuilder();

using IFionaHost host = serviceBuilder.Build();

host.Run();

sample controller

using Fiona.Hosting.Controller.Attributes;
using Fiona.Hosting.Routing;
using Fiona.Hosting.Routing.Attributes;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

namespace SampleFionaServer.Controller;

[Controller]
public class HomeController(ILogger<HomeController> logger)
{
    private readonly ILogger<HomeController> _logger = logger;
    
    [Route(HttpMethodType.Get)]
    public Task<string> Index()
    {
        _logger.Log(LogLevel.Critical, "Home Controller Index");
