I want to route REST service url in the following way:
/User/Rest/ -> UserRestController.Index()
/User/Rest/Get -> UserRestController.Get()
/User/ -> UserController.Index()
/User/Get -> UserController.Get()
So basically I'm making a hardcoded exception for Rest in the url.
I'm not very familiar with MVC routing. So what would be a good way to achieve this?
Wherever you register your routes, commonly in global.ascx
routes.MapRoute(
"post-object",
"{controller}",
new {controller = "Home", action = "post"},
new {httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint("POST")}
);
routes.MapRoute(
"get-object",
"{controller}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "get"},
new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint("GET")}
);
routes.MapRoute(
"put-object",
"{controller}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "put" },
new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint("PUT")}
);
routes.MapRoute(
"delete-object",
"{controller}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "delete" },
new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint("DELETE") }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" } // Parameter defaults
,new[] {"ToolWatch.Presentation.API.Controllers"}
);
In your controller
public ActionResult Get() { }
public ActionResult Post() { }
public ActionResult Put() { }
public ActionResult Delete() { }
