How to combine routing and routing in web api?


Asked by Emanuel Bowen on Dec 11, 2021 Web Services



That way, you can combine both types of routing in the same project. Web API also selects actions based on the HTTP method of the request (GET, POST, etc). By default, Web API looks for a case-insensitive match with the start of the controller method name.
In addition,
Web API routing is similar to ASP.NET MVC Routing. It routes an incoming HTTP request to a particular action method on a Web API controller. Web API supports two types of routing: Convention-based Routing. Attribute Routing. Click to see full answer. In respect to this, what is routing in API? Routing is how Web API matches a URI to an action.
Subsequently, Yes, We can combine both the routing mechanisms in a single ASP.NET Web API project. The controller action methods that have the [Route] attribute uses the Attribute Routing and the others without [Route] attribute uses Convention-based routing.
Indeed,
In the convention-based routing, Web API uses route templates to determine which controller and action method to execute. At least one route template must be added into route table in order to handle various HTTP requests.
Keeping this in consideration,
The literal api at the beginning of the Web API route pattern, makes it distinct from the standard MVC route. This is not mandatory but it is a good convention to differ Web API route from MVC route. In Web API route pattern {action} parameter is optional but you can include an {action} parameter.
