cI went through various posts regarding the Areas routing but still I am not able to resolve my issue.
I would like to split my application in the way that there are two routes.
/Areas/Panel
/Areas/Website
Inside each area there is HomeController
and appropriate methods that correspond to actions.
I would like that whenever user lands to any level 1 route i.e.:
is directed to /Areas/Website/{controller}/{action}
and alternatively for
to /Areas/Panel/{controller}/{action}
My current MVC route is:
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "area",
template: "{area:exists}/{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
but it isn't working, probably because I don't fully understand how tell the router to use Website
area as default. I tried various directives right before the controller itself but it did not work.
Could I ask for your advice?
Thank you in advance.
The Default route maps the first segment of a URL to a controller name, the second segment of a URL to a controller action, and the third segment to a parameter named id.
To add a new Area, Right Click on application name from solution explorer -> Select Add -> Select New Scaffolded Item -> select MVC Area from middle pane of dialog box -> Enter Name of Area -> Click Ok.
UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints. MapControllerRoute( name: "default", pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}"); }); Inside the call to UseEndpoints() , we use the MapControllerRoute() method to create a route by giving the name default .
Right click your web project -> Select Properties -> Select the Debug tab on the left -> Then edit the 'Launch Url' field to set your own default launch url. Great!
One reason it doesn't work because you have the routes registered in the wrong order. The routes are evaluated from the top to the bottom of the route table and the first match wins.
Another issue is that you need to make the "default" route into an area route (using the MapAreaRoute
extension method) if you want it to direct requests to the Website
area.
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "area",
template: "{area:exists}/{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
routes.MapAreaRoute(
name: "default",
areaName: "Website",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
