HTTP Header-based versioning in ASP.NET Core

HTTP Header-Based Versioning

In this type, we have to send the version in the Http header when we call the controller. So open the Startup.cs and add the below line of code into services.AddApiVersioning method. Also, delete the version mentioned in routes.

  public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
  {
	  services.AddControllers();
	  services.AddApiVersioning(x =>
	  {
		  x.DefaultApiVersion = new ApiVersion(1, 0);
		  x.AssumeDefaultVersionWhenUnspecified = true;
		  x.ReportApiVersions = true;
		  x.ApiVersionReader = new HeaderApiVersionReader("x-api-version");
	  });
  }

Now enable the Http herder versioning type. When a client consumes the API, they have so send x-api-version into the header with specific version value to call the correct controller. (View Highlight)
