Thanks Matt, read through that earlier. Should I be able to define my own routes against a controller inheriting from UmbracoApiController? It's not critical, but I'd prefer to define my own via attributes...

Hi bronzewind,

I tried your solution. It was very easy to implement. But I'm getting 404 response. Any idea what can be the issue?

Hope to hear from you, Sandra26

Hi Sandra,

404 means the endpoint is not being found. please be sure you are calling the api with all the parameters, that you're inheriting from UmbracoApiController and the Composer matches the one in the example.

If you don't find where the issue is, feel free of pasting here your code or more details about your implementation so that I can give it a look.

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with IoC, so if I am using IoC, it is not consciously. The thing is that this ApiController works fine if I leave out the composer for the custom routing. So I don't think I would need to do any sort of injection.

Composer

using Ma.Controllers;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Http;
using Umbraco.Core;
using Umbraco.Core.Composing;

namespace Ma.Composers
{
    //Deze composer zorgt ervoor dat we custom routes kunnen gebruiken voor de api ipv de standaard ~/Umbraco/Api/[YourControllerName]
    //De routes zijn in de controller bij de methods aangegeven middels decorations [Route("custom/route")]
    [RuntimeLevel(MinLevel = RuntimeLevel.Run)]
    public class CustomApiRoutesComposer : ComponentComposer<CustomApiRoutesComponent>
    {
    }

    public class CustomApiRoutesComponent : IComponent
    {

        public void Initialize()
        {
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Initializer(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
        }

        public void Terminate()
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }
}

Controller

using Ma.Models;
using System;
using System.Dynamic;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web.Http;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;
using Umbraco.Core.Services.Implement;
using Umbraco.Web.WebApi;


namespace Ma.Controllers
{
    public class MyAssuriaController : UmbracoApiController
    {

        [HttpPost]
        [Route("customroute/myassuria/dologin")]
        public HttpResponseMessage Login(string username, string password) {
            ResponseData responseData = new ResponseData();

            if(Members.Login(username, password))
            {
                IMemberService memberService = Services.MemberService;

                IMember member = memberService.GetByUsername(username);


                Profile profile = new Profile(member);
                profile.AuthToken = Tools.GenerateAuthToken(member.Id, TOKEN_EXPIRE_DEFAULT);

                ResponseObject response = new ResponseObject(profile);

                responseData.Status = success;
                responseData.Data = response;

                return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, responseData);
            }
            else
            {
                FailureData failure = new FailureData("username or password is missing", (int)HttpStatusCode.Forbidden);

                responseData.Status = fail;
                responseData.Data = failure;

                return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden, responseData);
            }
        }
}
