I'm relatively new to the MVC framework but I do have a functioning Web Project with an API controller that utilizes AttributeRouting (NuGet package) - however, I'm starting another project and it just does not want to follow the routes I put in place.
Controller:
public class BlazrController : ApiController
{
private readonly BlazrDBContext dbContext = null;
private readonly IAuthProvider authProvider = null;
public const String HEADER_APIKEY = "apikey";
public const String HEADER_USERNAME = "username";
private Boolean CheckSession()
{
IEnumerable<String> tmp = null;
List<String> apiKey = null;
List<String> userName = null;
if (!Request.Headers.TryGetValues(HEADER_APIKEY, out tmp)) return false;
apiKey = tmp.ToList();
if (!Request.Headers.TryGetValues(HEADER_USERNAME, out tmp)) return false;
userName = tmp.ToList();
for (int i = 0; i < Math.Min(apiKey.Count(), userName.Count()); i++)
if (!authProvider.IsValidKey(userName[i], apiKey[i])) return false;
return true;
}
public BlazrController(BlazrDBContext db, IAuthProvider auth)
{
dbContext = db;
authProvider = auth;
}
[GET("/api/q/users")]
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
[GET("api/q/usersauth")]
public string GetAuth()
{
if (!CheckSession()) return "You are not authorized";
return "You are authorized";
}
}
AttributeRoutingConfig.cs
public static class AttributeRoutingConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
// See http://github.com/mccalltd/AttributeRouting/wiki for more options.
// To debug routes locally using the built in ASP.NET development server, go to /routes.axd
routes.MapAttributeRoutes();
}
public static void Start()
{
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
}
Global.asax.cs:
// Note: For instructions on enabling IIS6 or IIS7 classic mode, // visit http://go.microsoft.com/?LinkId=9394801
public class WebApiApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
WebApiConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
}
}
When I try to navigate to /api/q/users - I get a 404 not found error. If I change the routes to be "/api/blazr/users" - I get an error about multiple actions and not being able to determine which action to take.
Any help is appreciated - I really just need a small nudge to figure out where the issue is, no need to solve it completely for me (I need to learn!)
Thanks
EDIT
routes.axd:
api/{controller}/{id}
{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}
{controller}/{action}/{id}
AttributeRouting
(should be available at~/routes.axd
) do you see the expected routes from the attributes, i.e./api/q/users
