Multiple RoutePrefixes per controller using MVC Attribute routing?

Question

With the new MVC Attribute routing, I know you can assign multiple Route attributes to a single ActionResult, but I am looking for a way to do the same at the RoutePrefix level. I have a controller which, in every action, should be accessible by three routes:

/Games/{Title}/Characters/{Route} /Books/{Title}/Characters/{Route} /Cinema/{Title}/Characters/{Route}

I tried putting three individual RoutePrefix attributes, but I get the error Deuplace RoutePrefix attribute. If I try to use a comma-separated list, I get Best override method for does not contain a constructor that takes 3 arguments.

Is it possible to set up a RoutePrefix so that it takes the three routes I want for my controller?

Answer 1

Running a bunch of tests I found out that I can just add 3 Route attributes to the controller level and it works the way I want.

Edit: a better way to do it I found was using the regex match method

[RoutePrefix("{Type:regex(Games|Cinema|Books)}/{SectionRoute}/Character/")]

How would you do it without a regex? Can I just add multiple attribute lines? [RoutePrefix("prefix1")] [RoutePrefix("prefix2")] – Filomena

@Filomena It's been a while since I did this but if I remember right you either do it like your example or you comma separate them like [RoutePrefix("prefix1"), RoutePrefix("prefix2")] try them both and see what happens – Stylobate

Dont thinks that's possible. It will throw Duplicate RoutePrefix attribute. – Twobyfour

And I think you should put end sign $ at the end of the each strings to disallow Gamesssdlasd, Cinemasasdasd etc. [RoutePrefix("{Type:regex(Games$|Cinema$|Books$)}/{SectionRoute}/Character/")] – Nitaniter
