Mapping parameters

[kevin5km]

Are there any examples of mapping path parameters? I've done this but it didn't work. Are there any other things I have to set up?

[RestRoute("Get", "/api/heartbeat/{requestID}")]
public async Task Heartbeat(IHttpContext context)
{
    var requestID = context.Request.PathParameters["requestID"];
    await context.Response.SendResponseAsync(requestID).ConfigureAwait(false);
}

I'm using the path and query string /api/heartbeat?requestID=ab123.

Path parameters are different from the query string.

If you want the request id in the path parameter, your path should be /api/heartbeat/ab123, and you would use the your existing method, with a modification to the Route attribute:

[RestRoute("Get", "/api/heartbeat/{requestID}")]
public async Task Heartbeat(IHttpContext context)
{
    var requestID = context.Request.PathParameters["requestID"];
    await context.Response.SendResponseAsync(requestID).ConfigureAwait(false);
}

If you want the request id to be in the query string, you would use your existing path and query string of /api/heartbeat?requestID=ab123, but your Route attribute and method would change to:

[RestRoute("Get", "/api/heartbeat")]
public async Task Heartbeat(IHttpContext context)
{
    var requestID = context.Request.QueryString["requestID"];
    await context.Response.SendResponseAsync(requestID).ConfigureAwait(false);
}

You don't want to include the query string in the path pattern.
