In the last post a few days ago we looked at adding a centralized route prefix to attribute routing in ASP.NET Web API.
I got a couple of follow up question about how to achieve the same in ASP.NET 5 and MVC 6 framework. Let’s have a look then (btw: this article is written using beta8 version of ASP.NET 5).
As you may have learnt from some of the older posts, I am a big fan, and a big proponent of attribute routing in ASP.NET Web API.
One of the things that is missing out of the box in Web API’s implementation of attribute routing, is the ability to define global prefixes (i.e. a global “api” that would be prepended to every route) – that would allow you to avoid repeating the same part of the URL over and over again on different resources. However, using the available extensibility points, you can provide that functionality yourself.
Let’s have a look.
