asp.net Core mvc hide and exclude Web Api Controll

Question

I know there is the ApiExplorerSettings attribute

[ApiExplorerSettings(IgnoreApi = true)]
public async Task<IActionResult> MyMethod(int id)

But that does not stop a client of the api to call the endpoint method.

I need to know if there is an attribute that disables the endpoint and does not allow requests. I want to avoid doing it by modifying the routing mechanism.

Answer 1

The simplest MVC approach might be to use the NonAction attribute, like so:

[ApiExplorerSettings(IgnoreApi = true)]
[NonAction]
public async Task<IActionResult> MyMethod(int id)

Another option is to just change the method's access modifier from public to e.g. private for the same effect.
