MVC style route mapping

Extending Umbraco and using the API

Umbraco 7
I'm trying to get my head around getting MVC type routing...

This works fine, and the url looks like: https://(sitename)/currenttimefor/location/51.507222;-0.1275
```
//This code works perfect
RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute(
    "CurrentTimeForLocation",
    "currenttimefor/{action}/{latlon}",
    new
    {
        controller = "TimeService",
        action = "Location",
        latlon = UrlParameter.Optional
    });
```
Now I'd also would like to have this for named places, like: https://(sitename)/currenttimefor/london

But can't find any working code for this, how much I try.

(I'm using a class that inherits from UmbracoApplication, to map the route.)

Hi Ulf,
Is this code using .net WebApi (eg. intended to return JSON or XML) or is it using MVC returning a HTML view?

Thanks,
Jamie

It returns JSON (JsonResponse) in a MVC-application inside Umbraco.

The place URL you refer to does not have an action specified. You're calling a parameterless action called "London". If you go https://(sitename)/currenttimefor/place/london and you have an action named Place, it should work just as well as the Location one.

This is pure MVC stuff and not Umbraco stuff, btw. ;)

Well, that one works, but not as intended, since the "/place/" part should'n be in the url... That one I can manage to get right. :)

Then you'll need to configure two different routes:

RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute(
    "CurrentTimeForLocation",
    "currenttimefor/location/{latlon}",
    new
    {
        controller = "TimeService",
        action = "Location"
        // I guess latlon shouldn't really be optional?
    });

RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute(
    "CurrentTimeForPlace",
    "currenttimefor/{place}",
    new
    {
        controller = "TimeService",
        action = "Place"
    });
