How to make Login page as a default route in ASP .NET Core 2.1?

Question

I am beginner in ASP .NET Core 2.1 and working on project which is using ASP .NET Core 2.1 with individual authentication. I want to make my login page as my default route instead of Home/Index:

            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "default",
                template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

Any help how can i change it as ASP .NET Core 2.1 as Login is now used as a razor page instead of MVC Action View.

Answer 1

Use this in ConfigureServices method.

services.AddMvc().AddRazorPagesOptions(options=> {
   options.Conventions.AddAreaPageRoute("Identity", "/Account/Login",""); 
}).SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);

then in Configure method

 app.UseMvc(routes =>
        {
            routes.MapRoute(
               name: "default",
               template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

        });

I solve this by using this code in ConfigureServices function (Startup.cs)

services.AddMvc().AddRazorPagesOptions(options => {
     options.Conventions.AddAreaPageRoute("Identity", "/Account/Login", "/Account/Login");
}).SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
