Illustrates using routemap attributes for website endpoints WITHOUT the need of MVC or Razor.
One or more [routemap] attributes are placed above any method in a static or instance class that can process an HTTP request. Each routemap pattern must be unique. If a duplicate routemap pattern is detected an exception will be thrown.
[routemap( "{route-pattern}", [http_methods], [order] )]
Required. The route-pattern defines an endpoint. An endpoint is something that can be selected, by matching the URL and HTTP method(s) provided. A route-pattern may contain any number of route-constraints. See the route template reference for more information.
Optional. Used to indicate the allowed HTTP methods for the given route-pattern. Valid HTTP method verbs are:
- routemap.http_methods.CONNECT
- routemap.http_methods.DELETE
- routemap.http_methods.GET
- routemap.http_methods.HEAD
- routemap.http_methods.OPTIONS
- routemap.http_methods.POST
- routemap.http_methods.PUT
- routemap.http_methods.TRACE
- routemap.http_methods.PATCH
If no methods are provided, then the HTTP GET and POST methods are used by default. Multiple HTTP methods can be specified by using the logical OR operator (|) between method verbs, for example, to allow the GET or DELETE methods:
routemap.http_methods.GET | routemap.http_methods.DELETE
Optional. The order for this routemap. May be any value greater than or equal to zero. Default is zero. A lower value will have higher priority.
- Match the URL /do_get for HTTP GET requests only:
[routemap( "/do_get", routemap.http_methods.GET )]
- Match the URL /do_delete for HTTP DELETE requests only:
[routemap( "/do_delete", routemap.http_methods.DELETE )]
- Match the URL /do_something for HTTP GET, POST and HEAD requests:
[routemap( "/do_something", routemap.http_methods.GET | routemap.http_methods.POST | routemap.http_methods.HEAD )]
- Matches the URLs such as /product/ or /product/123 for HTTP GET and POST requests. The {id:int?} segment, indicates an optional integer can be supplied after the /product/ segment:
[routemap( "/product/{id:int?}/" )]
- Matches the URLs such as /widget/ or /widget/val1/val2/val3 for HTTP GET requests. The {*queryvalues} segment, with the leading asterisk indicates that this is a wildcard parameter that can accept any additional segments in it:
[routemap( "/widget/{*queryvalues}", routemap.http_methods.GET )]
- Matches the URL /api/v1/test for HTTP GET and POST requests. The api_test_v2 method will be excuted because the order has a lower value than the api_test method.
[routemap( "/api/v1/test", order: 1 )]
public static async Task api_test_v2( HttpContext context ) { ... }
[routemap( "/api/v1/test", order: 2 )]
public static async Task api_test( HttpContext context ) { ... }
-
Create an empty .Net website project and include the file rpm.cs from this repository in your project (or simply clone this respository). For example, the class "my_pages" shown below contains two two methods "page1_render" and
"page2_render", each of which handles HTTP requests.using rmp; public class my_pages { private Int32 m_page1_render_count; private Int32 m_page2_render_count; public my_pages() { m_page1_render_count = 0; m_page2_render_count = 0; } [routemap( "/" ) ] [routemap( "/page1")] private async Task page1_render( HttpContext http_context ) { m_page1_render_count++; await http_context.Response.WriteAsync( $@"Page 1, render count: {m_page1_render_count}" ); return; } [routemap( "/page2" ) ] private async Task page2_render( HttpContext http_context ) { m_page2_render_count++; await http_context.Response.WriteAsync( $@"Page 2, render count: {m_page2_render_count}" ); return; } } -
Add the routemap pages service and middleware as shown in the example below:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder; using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting; using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting; using rmp; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System; namespace mywebsite { public class Program { private static Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.WebApplication web_app; public static async Task Main( String[] args ) { try { web_app = web_app_create( args ); } catch ( Exception ex ) { web_app = null; Console.WriteLine( ex.ToString() ); } if ( web_app is not null ) { await web_app.RunAsync(); } } private static Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.WebApplication web_app_create( String[] args ) { Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.WebApplicationOptions web_app_options; Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.WebApplicationBuilder web_app_builder; Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.WebApplication web_app; // Set web app options and create web app builder ... web_app_options = new WebApplicationOptions() { Args = args, }; web_app_builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder( web_app_options ); services_configure( web_app_builder ); web_app = web_app_builder.Build(); middleware_configure( web_app ); return web_app; } private static void middleware_configure( WebApplication app ) { app.UseRouting(); app.use_rmp(); } private static void services_configure( WebApplicationBuilder builder ) { builder.Services.add_rmp(); } } } -
Build and launch the website. The [routemap] patterns defined will be mapped to the appropriate handler, for example:
- / => will invoke the my_pages.page1_render method
- /page1 => will invoke the my_pages.page1_render method
- /page2 => will invoke the my_pages.page2_render method
