Dynamically load API Controllers ASP.NET
So i was thinking of a concept that allows me to seperate my controllers from the main application in ASP.NET
The way it would work is that i can make some sort of DLL/Library file for specific controllers and put them into a folder along with the main program which then load as controller
for example
Main App
-> APIController.dll : contains /api/
-> ServiceController.dll : contains /service/
and so on
TLDR;
How to make APIControllers load dynamically as DLL files if possible

a bunch of people asked for this recently
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.reflection.assembly.loadfrom?view=net-8.0
it's something i wanted to try too, honestly
Assembly.LoadFrom Method (System.Reflection)
Loads an assembly.

<@347434717022257162> Okay i figured it out. Apparently if i wanna use controllers from a different assembly, i need to add them as "ApplicationParts" like this

I mostly want to do it for the sake of being able to update more flexibly

Restructuring to a Vertical Slice Architecture
What is Vertical Slice Architecture? It's about focusing and organizing code by features and capabilities, not technical concerns!
Imagine if I want to add a new feature and suddenly need to make an urgent patch

Hm
Would still be nice for a multi service backend

I mean reverse proxy and all is fine I did that before I just think if I want to add more stuff I'd rather have it dynamic

Talking about git
I use a method called feature branching so every new feature gets a branch that gets merged into dev branch and then eventually into release branch
If something is merged into dev branch my feature branch won't be updated cause it's not dev and then I need to rebase
Since I couldn't test it yet, will rebasing my code to dev branch delete my new feature code?

Once.
But I just changed 1 line in a readme

But I'm not sure what happens to files that have been updated in the previous merge

Thing is that I only ever used git as a solo developer and I only had my dev and release branch so far
But I'm slowly starting to develop in smaller teams and figured feature branching might be a good approach

the only tool that will avoid difficult commit conflicts is organizing the work beforehand

A rebase is done typically before beginning the work
This way it's always up to date
if you have setup a webhook that notices you when other people commits it's good
if not you just try to fetch before a commit
Anyways I'll try to figure out a way for my original message later and also take a look at feature slicing
We do
I never do anything without those webhooks they are wonderful
