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 custom route using IRouter


In this recipe, we will learn how to create a custom route.

Getting ready

In MVC 6, we will use IRouter instead of IRouteHandler and IHttpHandler to define routes. ASP.NET Core works with recursive implementations of IRouter. At higher level, it can write an HTTP response, and at lower level it add my routing table to the routing middleware.

How to do it...

  1. First, the class we create has to implement IRouter and the RouteAsync method:
public class ProductsRouter : IRouter 
{ 
        private readonly Route _innerRoute; 
        public VirtualPathData GetVirtualPath 
(VirtualPathContext context) 
        { return null; } 
 
        public Task RouteAsync(RouteContext context) 
        { 
            // Test QueryStrings 
            var qs = context.HttpContext.Request.Query; 
            var price = qs["price"]; 
 
            if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(price)) 
            { return Task.FromResult(0); } 
 
            var routeData = new RouteData(); 
    ...
