Url Rewriting in Asp.Net core 3.0-CodePudding

In .Net Core web API I want the endpoints to work with both ways like : /api/order or /order

So I tried so many regex patterns for rewriting the url to except "api" but no luck yet. In startup Configure :

var rewrite = new RewriteOptions()
       .AddRewrite("^(?!api\\/).*$", "/api/$1", true)
       .AddRedirectToHttps();
 app.UseRewriter(rewrite);

I believe my approach could be wrong about this.

Order Controller:

    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    [ApiController]
    public class OrderController : ControllerBase
    {

CodePudding user response：

Why not just use two Route attributes instead of that single one...

[Route("api/[controller]")]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class OrderController : ControllerBase

Will work, you could even setup a base controller class with those attributes and never have to deal with it again (I think)

CodePudding user response：

After so many tries, I've found the answer. If only Regex could be a bit easier.

.AddRewrite("^(?!api\\/)(.*)$", "api/$1", true)

.* needed to be in brackets and rewrite value did not need a preceeding forward slash.

Regex examples in this article made me find my own way.

In order to understand what goes behind the rewriter I needed to add another middleware to log incoming http requests. Here is a good article for that.
