servicestack kestrel c# how can I hide/show endpoints in ui

[Davidilius]

Hello everybody,
I need to hide/show endpoints into ui programmatically by config file variable in visual studio .NET 6.0 c# with kestrel server. I have only one assembly with services, DTOs, Repositories and Domains. Seems that Servicestack engine auto generate routes from the assembly and I can not disable it or hide any endpoints displayed.

You can add [ExcludeMetadata] attributes to Request DTOs to hide ServiceStack Endpoints.

Thanks for the reply, I put [ExcludeMetadata], it actually hides the desired endpoints, my need is to hide them on startup based on a variable in the application config file. I suppose that [ExcludeMetadata] fix the unchanged mode.

You can try dynamically adding attributes on Startup before any Services are registered.

I tried to add 2 attributes (of 2 DTOs out of 5 created) keeping and removing [ExcludeMetadata]. Keeping it does not show me any endpoint among the 5 created (DTO), removing it all 5 endpoints appear. I added:
public AppHostKestrel() : base("HDT RestApi DbDataExchange", typeof(AppHost).Assembly)
{
typeof(UserRepository)
.AddAttributes(new RouteAttribute("/users"))
.AddAttributes(new RouteAttribute("/users/{Id}"));
}

Thanks to all the right answer is:

public class AppHost : AppHostBase
{
public AppHost() : base("Your Service Name", typeof(AppHost).Assembly) { }

public override void Configure(Container container)
{
    var hideEndpoints = GetAppSettings().Get("HideEndpoints", false); // Read the configuration variable

    if (hideEndpoints)
    {
        typeof(YourServiceRequestDto)
            .AddAttributes(new ExcludeMetadataAttribute());
        // Add ExcludeMetadata attribute to other Request DTOs if needed
    }

    // Other configuration code...
}

}
