Overview of this book

The ASP.NET Core 2.0 Framework has been designed to meet all the needs of today’s web developers. It provides better control, support for test-driven development, and cleaner code. Moreover, it’s lightweight and allows you to run apps on Windows, OSX and Linux, making it the most popular web framework with modern day developers. This book takes a unique approach to web development, using real-world examples to guide you through problems with ASP.NET Core 2.0 web applications. It covers Visual Studio 2017- and ASP.NET Core 2.0-specifc changes and provides general MVC development recipes. It explores setting up .NET Core, Visual Studio 2017, Node.js modules, and NuGet. Next, it shows you how to work with Inversion of Control data pattern and caching. We explore everyday ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0 patterns and go beyond it into troubleshooting. Finally, we lead you through migrating, hosting, and deploying your code. By the end of the book, you’ll not only have explored every aspect of ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0, you’ll also have a reference you can keep coming back to whenever you need to get the job done.

Creating a route using convention routing


In this recipe, we will learn how to create a route using convention routing.

How to do it...

We can do it in two ways. The first way to create a route using convention routing is as follows:

  1. We add services.AddMvc() to ConfigureServices:
app.AddMvc(); 
  1. We add app.UseMvc() to configure the route definitions:
app.UseMvc(routes => 
                { 
                routes.MapRoute( 
                    name: "default", 
                    template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}"); 
});

The second way to create a route using convention routing is as follows:

  1. We add services.AddMvc() to ConfigureServices:
app.AddMvc(); 
  1. Now, it's time to add app.UseMvc() method call inside Configure() method:
app.UseMvc(); 
  1. We add attribute routing to the controller and/or action:
[Route("api/[controller]")]
 public class ValuesController : Controller

How it works...

We can mix the first way with the second way by adding routes to routescollection in the configure...
