Link generator GetUriByName() returns null-CodePudding

I have got a ProfileController with the endpoint:

[HttpPut]
[SwaggerOperation("Confirm profile e-mail")]
[Produces("application/json", "application/xml")]
[Route("profile/e-mail")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ExecutionResult), 200)]
public async Task<IActionResult> ConfirmProfileEmail(string token, int userId)
{
    //var requestResult = await _mediator.Send(request);

    //return this.FromExecutionResult(requestResult);
    return Ok(token);
}

Meanwhile, I have HttpContextAccessor and LinkGenerator injected into my service. When I try to generate the confirmation link, I keep getting null, but don't understand what do I do wrong:

var confirmationLink =
    _linkGenerator.GetUriByName(
        _httpContextAccessor.HttpContext,
        "/profile/e-mail",
        new { token, userId = newUser.Id });

I would really appreciate if someone could give some clarificaton to working with LinkGenerator, as there is not so much documentation related to this class, especially with examples...

CodePudding user response：

GetUriByName requires the endpoint name, not the route. The name being a property of the route attribute, for example: [Route("profile/e-mail", Name = "ProfileEmail")]. When calling GetUriByName you would pass "ProfileEmail" as the name.
