## Definition

**Assembly:** CloudNimble.EasyAF.Configuration.dll

**Namespace:** CloudNimble.EasyAF.Configuration

**Inheritance:** System.Attribute

## Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
CloudNimble.EasyAF.Configuration.HttpEndpointAttribute
```

## Summary

Specifies that a configuration property represents an HTTP endpoint URL for an HttpClient.
Used by the EasyAF configuration system to automatically register HttpClients with their base addresses.

## Remarks

This attribute enables automatic HttpClient registration by linking configuration properties
that contain URLs to the corresponding HttpClient name properties. The configuration system
uses this information to set up named HttpClient instances with appropriate base addresses.

## Examples

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public class MyConfiguration : ConfigurationBase
{
    public string MyApiClientName { get; set; } = "MyApiClient";

    [HttpEndpoint(nameof(MyApiClientName))]
    public string MyApiRoot { get; set; } = "https://api.example.com";
}

// This will automatically register an HttpClient named "MyApiClient"
// with base address "https://api.example.com"
```
