How to resolve conflict between endpoints?-CodePudding

Let's say I have two endpoints:

[HttpGet ("{serialNumber}")]

and

[HttpGet ("summary")].

As a result, my application perceives api/summary as api/{serialNumber} where {serialNumber} = "summary" and I get the wrong behavior that I want.

CodePudding user response：

the only way to resolve it you have to add action name in the route

[HttpGet ("GetSerialNumber/{serialNumber}")] 
public ActionResult GetSerialNumber(string serialNumber)

and 

[HttpGet ("GetSummary/{summary}")] 
public ActionResult GetSummary(string summary)

CodePudding user response：

I tried it on my machine with different sdks: net3.1, .net5 and .net6
... working as expected.


[HttpGet("values/summary")]
public IActionResult GetSummary()
{
   return Ok(new ValueObject[] { new ValueObject { Value = "SUMMARY" } });
}

[HttpGet("values/{serialNumber}")]
public IActionResult GetBySerial([FromRoute] string serialNumber)
{
   return Ok(new ValueObject[] { new ValueObject { Value = serialNumber } });
}

If I now call /values/summary the result is

{
  "value": "SUMMARY"
}

else if I call /values/abcde the result is

{
  "value": "abcde"
}

So in my opinion if you never have a {serialNumber} == 'summary' this APIs should work in the correct way.

If you have possibly the case of a 'summary' == {serialNumber} use explicit endpoints instead like described before (@Serge).
