✅ referencing `WebApplication` from a class library

Hey so I'm trying to create a middleware library, but I can't install Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Ref package as it is an internal library, how can I reference WebApplication?

afaik you can include <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" /> in your csproj to reference the ASP.NET core library without the library being a web app.

out of curiosity, why do you need to reference WebApplication just to make some middleware?
