This book comprehensively integrates Angular version 4 into your tool belt, then runs you through all the new options you now have on hand for your web apps without bogging you down. The frameworks, tools, and libraries mentioned here will make your work productive and minimize the friction usually associated with building server-side web applications. Starting off with building blocks of Angular version 4, we gradually move into integrating TypeScript and ES6. You will get confident in building single page applications and using Angular for prototyping components.

Preface

Combining routing for ASP.NET MVC, the ASP.NET Web API, and Angular


Routing is the process of decomposing an endpoint to identify a module or controller and action that can handle a request. Routing makes the URL readable and meaningful. It also helps in hiding data from users.

Routing in ASP.NET MVC

ASP.NET MVC routing maps the request to the controller actions. All routes will be defined in the route table and are used by the route engine to match the URL patterns of the requests with the controllers and actions.

We can add the routes to the route table in the configure method of the Startup.cs file. The following code snippet shows the default route registered on the route table:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app) 
{ 
    app.UseIISPlatformHandler(); 
    app.UseDefaultFiles(); 
    app.UseStaticFiles(); 
    app.UseMvc(config => 
    { 
        config.MapRoute( 
            name: "Default", 
            template: "{controller}/{action}/{id?}", 
            defaults: new {...
