    Adding custom surface routes - how to?

    I'm trying to define a controller route in a component, but running into issues with services not being available:

    public class RoutingComponent : IComponent
    {
        private readonly IEndpointRouteBuilder _endpointBuilder;

        public RoutingComponent(IEndpointRouteBuilder endpointBuilder)
        {
            _endpointBuilder = endpointBuilder;
        }

        public void Initialize()
        {
            // throws
        }

        public void Terminate()
        {
        }
    }

    Stack is this:

    InvalidOperationException: Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing.IEndpointRouteBuilder' while attempting to activate 'Plumber.Web.Components.RoutingComponent'.

    How should I be approaching this? I need to define a particular route to manage with a content finder...

    Wouldn't utilizing a startup filter give you access to the IEndpointRouteBuilder ?

    Create a startupfilter, register it in a composer and access the UseEndpoints() method in IApplicationBuilder.

    Does this help? In my package migration I've added an extension method that you can see here.

    Which is called from Startup.cs:

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) =>
        services.AddUmbraco(_env, _config)
            .AddBackOffice()
            .AddWebsite()
            .AddComposers()
            .AddPersonalisationGroups(_config)
            .Build();

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
    {
        app.UseUmbraco()
            .WithMiddleware(u =>
            {
                u.WithBackOffice();
                u.WithWebsite();
            })
            .WithEndpoints(u =>
            {
                u.UseInstallerEndpoints();
                u.UseBackOfficeEndpoints();
                u.UseWebsiteEndpoints();
                u.UsePersonalisationGroupsEndpoints();
            });
    }

    So not using a component, but seems like you may be able to do similar.

    Andy, we are achieving the same, except that a startupfilter is separate from the startup class, and called under startup :) Benefit is that you don't need to call it manually trough an extension method. Its a better experience, when no setup from the user is required.

    Though I'm not 100% sure how routing interacts up against Umbraco, so it's something that needs testing !:)
