Angular CLI with MVC returning 404 from API call-CodePudding

I'm working on a combined .Net Core 3.1, Angular 8 project.

The Angular code is embedded inside the Visual Studio project that contains the MVC code, under a ClientApp folder

I'm fine with .Net but Angular is new to me as of 2 days ago.

I'm trying to get the Angular code to call an MVC API

I've been following a number of videos and tutorials and I came up with this as a sort of proof of concept.

Angular Code

import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

@Component({
  selector: 'people-list',
  templateUrl: "peopleListView.component.html"
})

export class PeopleListView implements OnInit {

  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
  
  ngOnInit() {
    let test = "";
    test = "/api/Person/GetPeopleList";
    this.http.get(test).subscribe((data: any) => console.log(data), (err: any) => console.log(err));
  }

MVC code

[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class PersonController : Controller
{
    public PersonController()
    {
    }

    [Route("api/[controller]/[action]")]
    [HttpGet]
    public List<Person> GetPeopleList()
    {
        List<Person> people = new List<Person>{
               new Person{Id = 1, Name = "Scott"},
               new Person{Id = 2, Name = "Bill"}
               };

        return people;
    }
}

I can see that the break point on the Angular code get hit so my Angular code before that is functioning but the GetPeopleList() method is not hit and I'm getting a 404 error.

I've tried a number of variation on the route e.g. [Route("api/[controller]]")] but to no avail.

Where have I gone wrong?

UPDATE Having seen that my code is requesting localhost:5001/api/Person/GetPeopleList I am wondering if the API is actually on port 5001 as that is controlled by the Angular app.

CodePudding user response：

you have to fix a route by adding "~/" to the start. It means that route starts from the route, your current route needs ".../api/person/api/person/getPeolelist" url

 [Route("~/api/Person/GetPeopeList")]
 public List<Person> GetPeopleList()
