Is there a way to get MVC4 to call different actions based on a GET variable in the URL?
For example, let's say I have the following two actions.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SubmitCrash(CrashReport rawData)
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SubmitBug(BugReport data)
{
return View();
}
Is there a way I can use the following URLs to have MVC4 'choose' which action to call?
http://MySite/Submit?Crash (calls 'SubmitCrash')
http://MySite/Submit?Bug (calls 'SubmitBug')
UPDATE:
I am very much aware that I can use actions / urls the way they are, and do stuff with routing to make it happen (which is what I am doing now), but I am really interested in the GET vars part of the question.
It's not as neat as it could be, but you may use 'root' action for this:
public ActionResult Submit(string method)
{
return Redirect("Submit"+method);
}
public ActionResult SubmitCrash()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult SubmitBug()
{
return View();
}
Edit
I have extend ActionNameAttribute to meet your needs, so you may write this:
//handles http://MySite/Submit?method=Crash
[ActionNameWithParameter(Name = "Submit", ParameterName = "method", ParameterValue = "Crash")]
public ActionResult SubmitCrash()
{
return View();
}
//handles http://MySite/Submit?method=Bug
[ActionNameWithParameter(Name = "Submit", ParameterName = "method", ParameterValue = "Bug")]
public ActionResult SubmitBug()
{
return View();
}
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = true)]
public sealed class ActionNameWithParameterAttribute : ActionNameSelectorAttribute
{
public string Name
{
get;
private set;
}
public string ParameterName
{
get;
private set;
}
public string ParameterValue
{
get;
private set;
}
public ActionNameAttribute(string name, string parameterName, string parameterValue)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(name))
{
throw new ArgumentException(MvcResources.Common_NullOrEmpty, "name");
}
this.Name = name;
this.ParameterName = parameterName;
this.ParameterValue = parameterValue;
}
public override bool IsValidName(ControllerContext controllerContext, string actionName, MethodInfo methodInfo)
{
return string.Equals(actionName, this.Name, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
&& string.Equals(controllerContext.HttpContext.Request.QueryString.Get(ParameterName)
, this.ParameterValue
, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
}
}
