I wanna change one of my routes in a EPiServer CMS, MVC.
From
http://myDomain.com/modules/EpiCase/About/Index
TO
http://myDomain.com/EpiCase/About/Index
I tried make a new route. When I try it I get 404 erro
routes.MapRoute(
name: "EPiCase_Default",
url: "EPiCase/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
Try deriving from System.Web.Routing.RouteBase. Here is a a sample implementation. I think you will need to modify this to fit your application.
public class AlternateRoute : RouteBase
{
private string[] alternateUrls;
public AlternateRoute(params string[] urls){alternateUrls = urls;}
public override RouteData GetRouteData(HttpContextBase httpContext)
{
RouteData result = null;
string requestedURL =
httpContext.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath;
if (alternateUrls.Contains(requestedURL, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
result = new RouteData(this, new MvcRouteHandler());
result.Values.Add("controller", "About");
result.Values.Add("action", "Index");
result.Values.Add("alternateUrl", requestedURL);
}
return result;
}
public override VirtualPathData GetVirtualPath(RequestContext requestContext, RouteValueDictionary values)
{
VirtualPathData result = null;
if (values.ContainsKey("alternateUrl") &&
alternateUrls.Contains((string)values["alternateUrl"], StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
result =
new VirtualPathData(
this,
new UrlHelper(requestContext).Content((string)values["alternateUrl"]).Substring(1)
);
}
return result;
}
}
Then add the desired route through constructor when adding AlternateRoute instance to routes.
routes.Add(new AlternateRoute("~/EpiCase/About/Index"));
You can achieve this with partial routing in EPiServer 7: http://joelabrahamsson.com/custom-routing-for-episerver-content/

I am working on a project using WebApi2. With my test project I am using Moq and XUnit.
So far testing an api has been pretty straight forward to do a GET like
[Fact()]
public void GetCustomer()
{
var id = 2;
_customerMock.Setup(c => c.FindSingle(id))
.Returns(FakeCustomers()
.Single(cust => cust.Id == id));
var result = new CustomersController(_customerMock.Object).Get(id);
var negotiatedResult = result as OkContentActionResult<Customer>;
Assert.NotNull(negotiatedResult);
Assert.IsType<OkNegotiatedContentResult<Customer>>(negotiatedResult);
Assert.Equal(negotiatedResult.Content.Id,id);
}
Now I am moving onto something a little complicated where I need to access value from the request header.
I have created my own Ok() result by extending the IHttpActionResult
public OkContentActionResult(T content,HttpRequestMessage request)
{
_request = request;
_content = content;
}
This allows me to have a small helper that reads the header value from the request.
public virtual IHttpActionResult Post(Customer customer)
{
var header = RequestHeader.GetHeaderValue("customerId", this.Request);
if (header != "1234")
How am I meant to setup Moq with a dummy Request?
I have spent the last hour or so hunting for an example that allows me to do this with webapi however I cant seem to find anything.
So far.....and I am pretty sure its wrong for the api but I have
// arrange
var context = new Mock<HttpContextBase>();
var request = new Mock<HttpRequestBase>();
var headers = new NameValueCollection
{
{ "customerId", "111111" }
};
request.Setup(x => x.Headers).Returns(headers);
request.Setup(x => x.HttpMethod).Returns("GET");
request.Setup(x => x.Url).Returns(new Uri("http://foo.com"));
request.Setup(x => x.RawUrl).Returns("/foo");
context.Setup(x => x.Request).Returns(request.Object);
var controller = new Mock<ControllerBase>();
_customerController = new CustomerController()
{
// Request = request,
};
I am not really sure what next I need to do as I havent needed to setup a mock HttpRequestBase in the past.
Can anyone suggest a good article or point me in the right direction?
Thank you!!!
I believe that you should avoid reading the headers in your controller for better separation of concerns (you don't need to read the Customer from request body in the controller right?) and testability.
How I will do it is create a CustomerId class (this is optional. see note below) and CustomerIdParameterBinding
public class CustomerId
{
public string Value { get; set; }
}
public class CustomerIdParameterBinding : HttpParameterBinding
{
public CustomerIdParameterBinding(HttpParameterDescriptor parameter)
: base(parameter)
{
}
public override Task ExecuteBindingAsync(ModelMetadataProvider metadataProvider, HttpActionContext actionContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
actionContext.ActionArguments[Descriptor.ParameterName] = new CustomerId { Value = GetIdOrNull(actionContext) };
return Task.FromResult(0);
}
private string GetIdOrNull(HttpActionContext actionContext)
{
IEnumerable<string> idValues;
if(actionContext.Request.Headers.TryGetValues("customerId", out idValues))
{
return idValues.First();
}
return null;
}
}
Writing up the CustomerIdParameterBinding
config.ParameterBindingRules.Add(p =>
{
return p.ParameterType == typeof(CustomerId) ? new CustomerIdParameterBinding(p) : null;
});
Then in my controller
public void Post(CustomerId id, Customer customer)
Testing the Parameter Binding
public void TestMethod()
{
var parameterName = "TestParam";
var expectedCustomerIdValue = "Yehey!";
//Arrange
var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "http://localhost/someUri");
requestMessage.Headers.Add("customerId", expectedCustomerIdValue );
var httpActionContext = new HttpActionContext
{
ControllerContext = new HttpControllerContext
{
Request = requestMessage
}
};
var stubParameterDescriptor = new Mock<HttpParameterDescriptor>();
stubParameterDescriptor.SetupGet(i => i.ParameterName).Returns(parameterName);
//Act
var customerIdParameterBinding = new CustomerIdParameterBinding(stubParameterDescriptor.Object);
customerIdParameterBinding.ExecuteBindingAsync(null, httpActionContext, (new CancellationTokenSource()).Token).Wait();
//Assert here
//httpActionContext.ActionArguments[parameterName] contains the CustomerId
}
Note: If you don't want to create a CustomerId class, you can annotate your parameter with a custom ParameterBindingAttribute. Like so
public void Post([CustomerId] string customerId, Customer customer)
See here on how to create a ParameterBindingAttribute
I want to add a Location header to my http response when using webapi 2. The method below shows how to do this using a named route. Does anyone know if you can create the Url.Link using Attribute Routing feature that was released as part of webapi 2?
string uri = Url.Link("DefaultApi", new { id = reponse.Id });
httpResponse.Headers.Location = new Uri(uri);
Thanks in advance
You can use RouteName with Ur.Link when using attribute routing.
public class BooksController : ApiController
{
[Route("api/books/{id}", Name="GetBookById")]
public BookDto GetBook(int id)
{
// Implementation not shown...
}
[Route("api/books")]
public HttpResponseMessage Post(Book book)
{
// Validate and add book to database (not shown)
var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created);
// Generate a link to the new book and set the Location header in the response.
string uri = Url.Link("GetBookById", new { id = book.BookId });
response.Headers.Location = new Uri(uri);
return response;
}
}
http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/attribute-routing-in-web-api-2#route-names
You can do:
[Route("{id}", Name="GetById")]
public IHttpActionResult Get(int id)
{
// Implementation...
}
public IHttpActionResult Post([FromBody] UsuarioViewModel usuarioViewModel)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
return BadRequest();
var link = Url.Link("GetById", new { id = 1});
var content = "a object";
return Created(link, content);
}
I'm trying to use Hyprlinkr to generate URL to the HTTP Post action. My controller looks like this:
public class MyController : ApiController {
[HttpPost]
public void DoSomething([FromBody]SomeDto someDto) {
...
}
}
with this route:
routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "MyRoute",
routeTemplate: "dosomething",
defaults: new { controller = "My", action = "DoSomething" });
I expect to get a simple URL: http://example.com/dosomething, but it does not work. I tried two methods:
1) routeLinker.GetUri(c => c.DoSomething(null)) - throws NullReferenceException
2) routeLinker.GetUri(c => c.DoSomething(new SomeDto())) - generates invalid URL:
http://example.com/dosomething?someDto=Namespace.SomeDto
Update:
Issue opened at github:
https://github.com/ploeh/Hyprlinkr/issues/17
I found a workaround, loosely based on Mark's answer. The idea is to go over every route parameter and remove those that have [FromBody] attribute applied to them. This way dispatcher does not need to be modified for every new controller or action.
public class BodyParametersRemover : IRouteDispatcher {
private readonly IRouteDispatcher _defaultDispatcher;
public BodyParametersRemover(String routeName) {
if (routeName == null) {
throw new ArgumentNullException("routeName");
}
_defaultDispatcher = new DefaultRouteDispatcher(routeName);
}
public Rouple Dispatch(
MethodCallExpression method,
IDictionary<string, object> routeValues) {
var routeKeysToRemove = new HashSet<string>();
foreach (var paramName in routeValues.Keys) {
var parameter = method
.Method
.GetParameters()
.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == paramName);
if (parameter != null) {
if (IsFromBodyParameter(parameter)) {
routeKeysToRemove.Add(paramName);
}
}
}
foreach (var routeKeyToRemove in routeKeysToRemove) {
routeValues.Remove(routeKeyToRemove);
}
return _defaultDispatcher.Dispatch(method, routeValues);
}
private Boolean IsFromBodyParameter(ParameterInfo parameter) {
var attributes = parameter.CustomAttributes;
return attributes.Any(
ct => ct.AttributeType == typeof (FromBodyAttribute));
}
}
The second option is the way to go:
routeLinker.GetUri(c => c.DoSomething(new SomeDto()))
However, when using a POST method, you'll need to remove the model part of the generated URL. You can do that with a custom route dispatcher:
public ModelFilterRouteDispatcher : IRouteDispatcher
{
private readonly IRouteDispatcher defaultDispatcher;
public ModelFilterRouteDispatcher()
{
this.defaultDispatcher = new DefaultRouteDispatcher("DefaultApi");
}
public Rouple Dispatch(
MethodCallExpression method,
IDictionary<string, object> routeValues)
{
if (method.Method.ReflectedType == typeof(MyController))
{
var rv = new Dictionary<string, object>(routeValues);
rv.Remove("someDto");
return new Rouple("MyRoute", rv);
}
return this.defaultDispatcher.Dispatch(method, routeValues);
}
}
Now pass that custom dispatcher into your RouteLinker instance.
Caveat: it's very late as I'm writing this and I haven't attempted to compile the above code, but I thought I'd rather throw an attempted answer here than have you wait several more days.
Dimitry's solution got me most of the way to where I wanted, however the routeName ctor param was a problem because StructureMap doesn't know what to put in there. Internally hyprlink is using UrlHelper to generate the URI, and that wants to know the route name to use
At that point, I see why URI generation is so tricky, because it is tied to the route names in the routing config and in order to support POST, we need to associate the method, with the correct routename and that is not known at dispatcher ctor time. Default hyprlinkr assumes there is only one route config named "DefaultRoute"
I changed Dimitry's code as follows, and adopted a convention based approach, where controller methods that start with "Get" are mapped to the route named "Get" and controller methods starting with "Add" are mapped to the route named "Add".
I wonder if there are better ways of associating a method with the proper named routeConfig?
public class RemoveFromBodyParamsRouteDispatcher : IRouteDispatcher
{
private static readonly ILog _log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof (RemoveFromBodyParamsRouteDispatcher));
public Rouple Dispatch(MethodCallExpression method,
IDictionary<string, object> routeValues)
{
var methodName = method.Method.Name;
DefaultRouteDispatcher defaultDispatcher;
if (methodName.StartsWith("Get"))
defaultDispatcher = new DefaultRouteDispatcher("Get");
else if (methodName.StartsWith("Add"))
defaultDispatcher = new DefaultRouteDispatcher("Add");
else
throw new Exception("Unable to determine correct route name for method with name " + methodName);
_log.Debug("Dispatch methodName=" + methodName);
//make a copy of routeValues as contract says we should not modify
var routeValuesWithoutFromBody = new Dictionary<string, object>(routeValues);
var routeKeysToRemove = new HashSet<string>();
foreach (var paramName in routeValuesWithoutFromBody.Keys)
{
var parameter = method.Method
.GetParameters()
.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == paramName);
if (parameter != null)
if (IsFromBodyParameter(parameter))
{
_log.Debug("Dispatch: Removing paramName=" + paramName);
routeKeysToRemove.Add(paramName);
}
}
foreach (var routeKeyToRemove in routeKeysToRemove)
routeValuesWithoutFromBody.Remove(routeKeyToRemove);
return defaultDispatcher.Dispatch(method, routeValuesWithoutFromBody);
}
private static bool IsFromBodyParameter(ParameterInfo parameter)
{
//Apparently the "inherit" argument is ignored: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cwtf69s6(v=vs.100).aspx
const bool msdnSaysThisArgumentIsIgnored = true;
var attributes = parameter.GetCustomAttributes(msdnSaysThisArgumentIsIgnored);
return attributes.Any(ct => ct is FromBodyAttribute);
}
}
I'm trying to build a constraint that checks against database. And I'm using Ninject, but for some reason it doesnt create a new instance of my repository when it fires.
global.asax.cs
// Content
routes.MapRoute(
"Content Language Route",
"{languageID}/List",
new { controller = "Content", action = "Index",
new { languageID = new LanguageRouteConstraint() },
new string[] { "MyProj.MVC.Controllers" }
);
.....
kernel.Bind<IContentRepository>().To<ContentRepository>();
Constraint
public class LanguageRouteConstraint : IRouteConstraint
{
#region IRouteConstraint Members
private readonly IContentRepository _contentRepository;
public LanguageRouteConstraint(IContentRepository contentRepository)
{
this._contentRepository = contentRepository;
}
public bool Match(HttpContextBase httpContext, Route route, string parameterName, RouteValueDictionary values, RouteDirection routeDirection)
{
if (routeDirection == RouteDirection.IncomingRequest)
{
string languageID = values["languageID"].ToString();
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(languageID))
return false;
MyProj.MVC.Models.Language language = _contentRepository.GetLanguage(languageID);
return (language != null);
}
return false;
}
#endregion
}
Using Ninject for the repository works in the controller, but do I need to modify the route in gobal asa for it to make it work?
Solved it like this:
// Content
routes.MapRoute("Content Language Route",
"{languageID}/List",
new { controller = "Content", action = "Index",
new
{
languageID = new LanguageRouteConstraint(
DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<IContentRepository>())
},
new string[] { "MyProj.MVC.Controllers" }
);
I have this ActionFilter
public class AppOfflineFilter : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
if (filterContext.ActionDescriptor.ActionName != "AppOffLine" &&
filterContext.HttpContext.Request.UserHostName != "127.0.0.1")
{
filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult(
new RouteValueDictionary(
new { action = "AppOffLine", Controller = "Home" }));
}
}
}
It works from the start page which is does not reside under a Area, it does not work from an area because it will redirect to /Area/Home/Appoffline instead of /Home/AppOffline
Can it be fixed?
Also is there a way of speciefing which controller / action to redirect to using Generics and strongly typed code?
Try assigning the area route token to an empty string:
filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult(new RouteValueDictionary(new {
action = "AppOffLine",
controller = "Home",
area = ""
}));
you must specify area like this:
public class AppOfflineFilter : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
if (filterContext.ActionDescriptor.ActionName != "AppOffLine" &&
filterContext.HttpContext.Request.UserHostName != "127.0.0.1")
{
filterContext.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult(
new RouteValueDictionary(
new { action = "AppOffLine", Controller = "Home",
area = "YourAreaName" })); //<<<<THIS
}
}
}
and if you want to redirect to a non-area zone (like /Home/Index), set 'area' to an empty string; like:
area=""
