# API Controller Generator

## Overview

This skill generates RESTful API Controllers following best practices:

- **MediatR integration** - Send commands/queries via ISender
- **API versioning** - URL segment versioning
- **Authorization** - Role and permission-based
- **Consistent responses** - Proper HTTP status codes
- **Request/Response DTOs** - Separate from domain

## Quick Reference

| HTTP Method | Action | Returns |
|-------------|--------|---------|
| `GET /{id}` | Get by ID | `200 OK` / `404 Not Found` |
| `GET /` | Get all/list | `200 OK` |
| `POST /` | Create | `201 Created` / `400 Bad Request` |
| `PUT /{id}` | Full update | `200 OK` / `404 Not Found` |
| `PATCH /{id}` | Partial update | `200 OK` / `404 Not Found` |
| `DELETE /{id}` | Delete | `204 No Content` / `404 Not Found` |
