asp.net Core mvc hide and exclude Web Api Controller Method

Question

I know there is the ApiExplorerSettings attribute

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


        

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.

If you'd like to exclude an entire controller, there's the NonController attribute:

[NonController]
public class MyController : ControllerBase
