ASP. NET Web API Practice Series 06, increasing the use of ASP. Net. NET MVC 4

This article attempts to increase the use of the ASP. NET Web API on an existing ASP. NET MVC 4 project.

New project, select "ASP. NET MVC 4 Web application".

Select the "Basic" project template.

Under the Controllers folder, add an empty API controller called "TestController".

The following assemblies are more in the reference folder:
System.Web.Http
System.Web.Http.WebHost
System.Net.Http
System.Net.Http.Formatting
......

There are more webapiconfig static classes in the App_start folder:

     Public Static class Webapiconfig
    {
         Public Static void Register (httpconfiguration config)
        {
            Config. Routes.maphttproute (
                Name: "defaultapi",
                Routetemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
                New {id = routeparameter.optional}
            );
        }
    }

Modify the TestController content as follows:

     Public class Testcontroller:apicontroller
    {
         Public ienumerable<string> Get ()
        {
            return New string [] {"value1", "value2"};
        }
         Public string Get (int ID)
        {
            return "value";
        }
    }

In the browser, type: http://localhost:3928/api/test

In the browser, type: HTTP://LOCALHOST:3928/API/TEST/5

Under the Controllers folder, add an empty MVC controller called "HomeController".

     Public class Homecontroller:controller
    {
         Public ActionResult Index ()
        {
            return View ();
        }
    

Add the home/index.cshtml view, modified as follows:

@{
    Viewbag.title = "Index";
    Layout = "~/views/shared/_layout.cshtml";
}
@section scripts
{
    <script type= "text/javascript" >
        $. Get ("http://localhost:3928/api/test", function (data) {
            alert (data);
        });
    </script>
}
As you can see, by adding an empty API controller to controllers, the ASP and configuration files are added by default.
