AutoReST

Add some ReST flavors to MVC Applications:

Currently Support:

• Routing Based on Verbs

  Just Decorate your Actions with Verbs and use the VerbRouting to create your routes

• Routing Based on Conventions

  Create conventions (or use Default ones) and use the ConventionRouting to create your routes

  Default Conventions are:

  public DefaultRouteConventions()
  {
  
      MapAction("List").ToRootPlural().ConstraintToVerb(HttpVerbs.Get);
  
      MapAction("Details").WithParameters(
          new List<ActionParam>() { new ActionParam() { IsComplexType = false, Name = "id" } }
  
          ).ToRoot().ConstraintToVerb(HttpVerbs.Get);
  
      MapAction("Delete").WithParameters(
          new List<ActionParam>() { new ActionParam() { IsComplexType = false, Name = "id" } }
  
          ).ToRoot().ConstraintToVerb(HttpVerbs.Delete);
  
      MapAction("Update").WithParameters(
          new List<ActionParam>() { new ActionParam() { IsComplexType = false, Name = "id" } }
  
          ).ToCustomUrl("/edit").ConstraintToVerb(HttpVerbs.Get);
  
      MapAction("Update").WithParameters(
          new List<ActionParam>()
          {
              new ActionParam() { IsComplexType = false, Name = "id"},
              new ActionParam() { IsComplexType = true, Name = "data"}
          }
  
          ).ToRoot().ConstraintToVerb(HttpVerbs.Put);
  
      MapAction("Create").WithNoParameters().ToCustomUrl("/new").ConstraintToVerb(HttpVerbs.Get);
  
      MapAction("Create").WithParameters(new List<ActionParam>()
          {
              new ActionParam() { IsComplexType = true, Name = "data"}
          }).ToRoot().ConstraintToVerb(HttpVerbs.Post);
  
  }

• Controller Parsing

  You auto-route all controllers, based on namespaces or specific controllers (Pass in a ControllerParsingConfiguration)

Issue tracker is: http://youtrack.codebetter.com/issues/AREST

Generate ReST routes for your MVC Application automatically.

Create your controllers and set the correct verbs. Call the following in your RegisterRoutes:

        var routing ==> Either VerbRouting() or ConventionRouting()

        var routeGenerator = new RouteGenerator(routing);

        routeGenerator.GenerateRoutesFromAssemblyAssembly.GetExecutingAssembly(), routes));

like so:

    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        var routeGenerator = new RestRouteGenerator();

        routeGenerator.GenerateRoutesFromAssemblyAssembly.GetExecutingAssembly(), routes));

        routes.MapRoute(
            "Default", // Route name
            "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
            new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
        );
    }

AutoReST will do the rest (no pun intended)

You can now access your controllers use GET, PUT, DELETE, POST without any manual mapping.
