    When using the Chris Hammond template to build a module, are there any examples incorporating a REST API into a module? I'm looking into using an API that is built with Swagger and incorporate it and I'm not finding much documentation-wise. Any examples, or how one would get his up and running? What is needed to incorporate and access the API? Would you build this directly in the VIew side of the module using the CodeBehind? Thank!

      Hi Jeremy,

      I have successfully built a WebServices module for my own purposes and found it easier to keep it in a separate module that does not have a View.

      Create a Controller that inherits from DnnApiController, a RouterMapper that implements IServiceRouterMapper and work your way from there. I have not used Swagger but BHC :-)

      Here are a couple of links that pointed me in the right direction.
