ASP.NET Core model conventions to turn route tokens into kebab case urls
dotnet add package Sgw.KebabCaseRouteTokens
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Sgw.KebabCaseRouteTokens/
When you normally use the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RouteAttribute type to annotate your Controllers and Actions you can use tokens in your route paths.
Example:
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class UserRegistrationController
{
[HttpPost]
[Route("[action]")]
public ActionResult CreateNewUserRegistration(UserRegistration registration)
{
// ...
}
[HttpGet]
[ActionName("TestIt")]
[Route("[action]")]
public ActionResult GetUserData()
{
// ...
}
}These tokens will automatically be replaced by Mvc with the name of the controller (in the case of "[controller]" without the "Controller" suffix).
The resulting url for the first action above would be POST /api/UserRegistration/CreateNewUserRegistration
If you prefer kebab-case over PascalCase for your urls and you want to use the [controller]/[action] token replacement in the RouteAttributes you can use the convention classes in this project.
In your Startup.cs add the Convention classes to your MvcOptions.Conventions collection.
public class Startup
{
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvc(options =>
{
options
.Conventions
.Add(new KebabCaseRouteTokenReplacementControllerModelConvention());
var methodNamePrefixes = new string[]
{
"Create", "Delete", "Update", "Get", "Find"
};
options
.Conventions
.Add(new KebabCaseRouteTokenReplacementActionModelConvention(methodNamePrefixes));
});
}
}Any method prefixes supplied to the KebabCaseRouteTokenReplacementActionModelConvention will be removed from the action method name before performing kebab-case conversion.
With the above example controller and action method the resulting generated url would be POST /api/user-registration/new-user-registration.
Since the second action method GetData has a custom action name set by [ActionName("TestIt")], no kebab-casing is performed on the action method url. The resulting url would be GET /api/user-registration/TestIt
If the ActionNameAttribute was not applied the resulting url would be GET /api/user-registration/user-data
