Asp .NET Web Api + MVC + Angular 2 - action with two parameters
I have an ASP .NET MVC application with Angular 2. I added a WebApi Controller and try to communicate from angular service with it, but it does not access an action within the WebApi Controller with two parameters.
I think I read all the question regarding that matter. I have my webApi routes registered before the MVC ones. I can access the action, if it does not require any parameters. But if I try to hit it with the parameters I keep getting 404 not found for the Login action - POST localhost:12312/api/userapi/login 404 (Not Found).
I tried every kind of formatting for the WebApiConfig - with optional parameters, without them, with dynamic controller placeholders, with the exact names for action and controller,etc. I tried Routing attribute as well, but with no effect.
I tried to put it as a single parameter "object credentials" and modified the WebApiConfig.cs as well, but the result didn't change.
RouteConfig.cs
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{*anything}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id =
UrlParameter.Optional }
);
WebApiConfig.cs
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "api",
routeTemplate: "api/userapi/login/{username}/{password}",
defaults: new { username = RouteParameter.Optional, password =
RouteParameter.Optional }
);
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
UserApiController.cs
[HttpPost]
public HttpResponseMessage LogIn(string username, string password)
{
return ToJson(userRep.LogIn(username, password));
}
angular
this.http.post(url, JSON.stringify(credentials), { headers: headers })
.subscribe(res => {
resolve(res.json());
}, (err) => {
reject(err);
});
Am not sure why its not working in your way(using parmas) but i will simply create an model something like
public class LoginModel{
public UserName {get;set;}
public Password {get;set;}
}
then in login mathod
[HttpPost]
public HttpResponseMessage LogIn(LoginModel model)
{
return ToJson(userRep.LogIn(model.username, model.password));
}
No need of custom routing just use default config
