How do you change Controllers folder in WebApi? - asp.net-web-api

Instead of the usual "/Controllers" folder, I want to put my WebApi actions in a "/SomeRootFolder/SubFolder/Controllers" location.
How do I change the config for this?
Right now my WebApiConfig says (by default):
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }

WebAPI Multi Route

I added 2 route, the following is my code
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "HandheldApi",
routeTemplate: "api/handheld/{controller}/{action}"
);
When I use the following link http://localhost:64886/api/Account/Get, this link is work for me
But I use the following link http://localhost:64886/api/handheld/Account/Get, the server return "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI"
How can I do? I must set 2 route because the new route is new mapping, the default route will be obsoleted
You didn't define the defaults parameter for your second route. Hope this will work-
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "HandheldApi",
routeTemplate: "api/handheld/{controller}/{action}"
defaults: new { controller = "MyController", action = "MyMethod" }
);

WEB API routing actions multiple

May I define a Route for an specific Controller ?
The 3th Route, route to a Controller with somes Actions, but the Route only work fine if is placed before the rest.
Some suggestions , please?
// ex: api/groups/Collective1/john01
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: ControllerAndCollectiveAndUserID,
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{collective}/{userid}",
defaults: null, //defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
constraints: new
{
collective = #"^[a-zA-Z\d]+$",
userid = #"^[a-zA-Z\d]+$"
}
);
// ex: api/groups/Collective1
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: ControllerAndCollective,
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{collective}",
defaults: null, //defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
constraints: new
{
collective = #"^[a-zA-Z\d]+$"
}
);
// ex: api/users/pending
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: ControllerAction,
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}"
);
// ex: api/persons
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: ControllerOnly,
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}"
);

How do i redirect when version number is not included in url (Url Web Api Versioning)

i have this route attribute in my api controller "[RoutePrefix("api/v5/test")]". I want to allow my api to be consumed without specifying the version no. If no version no is included in url, then server will redirect request to latest api version. How can i do this?
/api/v1/products
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "V1Api",
routeTemplate: "api/v1/products",
defaults: new { controller = V1_Products }
);
/api/v2/products
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "V2Api",
routeTemplate: "api/v2/products",
defaults: new { controller = V2_Products }
);
/api/products
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/products",
defaults: new { controller = V2_Products }
);
There is no way to add multiple RoutePrefix's on a controller.
One possible solution is to add multiple routes for each method. You can use '~' to specify the absolute path and ignore the RoutePrefix for the controller.
Example:
[RoutePrefix("api/v5/test)]
public class TestV5Controller : ApiController
{
[Route("{id}")]
[Route("~/api/latest/test/{id}")]
[HttpGet]
public IHttpResult Get()
{
return Ok("Hello World");
}
}

Custom routing for GET/POST/DELETE does not match

What I'm trying to do is to use similar route template in my custom route as the default route template uses, but getting 405 - METHOD NOT ALLOWED.
First one matches the GET request # api/accounts/abc123/contacts but that's about it. Other two don't match, where as the default route # api/{controller}/{id} matches all four verbs.
EDIT: Updated route definitions
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "ContactsApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id1}/contacts"
);
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "AddressesApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id2}/addresses"
);
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "CoverageApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id3}/coverage"
);
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "AccountsApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id4}/accounts"
);
I'm trying to map above routes to below actions:
EDIT: Updated with {id1} parameter as per above route definition.
[HttpGet]
public List<Contact> GetContacts(string id)
{
return accounts.GetContacts(id);
}
[HttpPost]
public void PostContacts(string id1, [FromBody]IEnumerable<Contact> contacts)
{
bool success = accounts.AssignContacts(id, contacts);
}
[HttpDelete]
public void DeleteContacts(string id1, [FromBody]IEnumerable<Contact> contacts)
{
bool success = accounts.RemoveContacts(id, contacts);
}
I just want to keep my routes consistent...
You only need to have the one route to match the actions given above:
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "ApiContacts",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}/contacts"
);
Because your actions start with the relevant http verb, the corresponding action will be called.

Asp.net Web API : No action was found on the controller

I am using Visual Studi0 2010. In my WebApiConfig.cs file I have below config, I can map these two urls /Values and /Values/1. It is working fine.
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new {id= RouteParameter.Optional }
);
Since I wanted to my custom URL like /Values/Machines and /Values/Machines/100, I changed above setting to below.
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new {action="get", id= RouteParameter.Optional }
);
It is now mapping below urls except this one, /Values/1. Please let me know what I am missing.
1./Values
2./Values/Machines
3./Values/Machines/100
Thanks.
It is expected behavior. According to your new Route the first parameter Values is expected to be a Controller name, and second parameter 1 is expected to be an Action, but you don't have an action with the name 1
In order to get to the Action you need the url with you new route should be like so: /Values/Index/1
You could do something like this:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "IndexWithParam",
url: "{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
constraints: new { id = #"\d+" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default", // Route name
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
In this case if the Url is like this: /Values/1, it will hit first route and redirect it to /Values/Index/1. Note that I've placed a constraint on this route that makes sure that second parameter is a number.
