What is the role of the Configure method?

The Configure method defines the HTTP request pipeline by adding middleware components. The order in which middleware is added is crucial as it determines how HTTP requests are processed.

Example:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    if (env.IsDevelopment())
        app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
    else
        app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");

    app.UseStaticFiles();
    app.UseRouting();
    app.UseAuthentication();
    app.UseAuthorization();

    app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
    {
        endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
            name: "default",
            pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
    });
}
