ApiDescription server should inject Environment variable

[svrooij]

Currently if you use the ApiDescription.Server you need to do reflection to see if it is running with this server.

using System.Reflection;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// I don't want this!!
if (Assembly.GetEntryAssembly()?.GetName().Name != "GetDocument.Insider")
{
    builder.AddServiceDefaults();
}

This is very bad, I don't want any reflection in my code (AOT build), maybe it can inject a special environment variable in the config?

I want (or similar):

if (builder.Configuration.GetValue<bool>("ASPNET_APIDESCRIPTION"))
{
...
}

This is essentially #54698

No in fact it is completely different. I'm talking about being able to discover whether or not the run is because of the ApiServer started the api. The other issue is to set a specific configuration for the specs generation.

They are related but not asking for the same.
