We configured a single route above. However, you can configure multiple routes in the Web API using HttpConfiguration object. The following example demonstrates configuring multiple routes.
Multiple Routes
public static class WebApiConfig
{
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
// school route
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "School",
routeTemplate: "api/myschool/{id}",
defaults: new { controller="school", id = RouteParameter.Optional }
constraints: new { id ="/d+" }
);
// default route
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
In the above example, School route is configured before DefaultApi route. So any incoming request will be matched with the School route first and if incoming request url does not match with it then only it will be matched with DefaultApi route. For example, request url is http://localhost:1234/api/myschool is matched with School route template, so it will be handled by SchoolController.
