How to use Swagger as Welcome Page of IAppBuilder in WebAPI

by

I got this working how I wanted by adding a route in RouteConfig.cs like so:

    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "swagger_root", 
            routeTemplate: "", 
            defaults: null, 
            constraints: null,
            handler: new RedirectHandler((message => message.RequestUri.ToString()), "swagger"));

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );
    }

See this code from swashbuckle to see what’s going on: https://github.com/domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle/blob/master/Swashbuckle.Core/Application/RedirectHandler.cs
