What is TypedResults in minimal APIs?
PICTURE THIS: HOW TO EXPLAIN IT
Simple meaning
Helpers that return strongly typed IResult implementations for OpenAPI metadata.
WHY — API instead of guessing?
Why interviewers care about API:
who only read docs from people who shipped.
and tied to .NET work.
Name the idea, why it exists, then one short example.
End with when you use it and one common pitfall.
STEPS — What happens step by step?
Before you speak the answer, walk the interviewer through these steps:
- 1Helpers that return strongly
typed IResult implementations for OpenAPI metadata.
- 2Why it exists
Controllers often use ActionResult similarly.
- 3Clear status codes beat
anonymous objects.
- 4Give an example
One tiny concrete case you can say aloud.
- 5Common mistake
What juniors usually get wrong.
- 6Close
When you pick this over the alternative.
EXAMPLE — See it in action
Here's a short line you can speak, broken into clear beats:
Note: Adapt this scaffold to your own project — keep it under 60–90 seconds.
Key takeaway
Helpers that return strongly typed IResult implementations for OpenAPI metadata. Controllers often use ActionResult similarly.
