I have just downloaded AttributeRouting NuGet package for WebAPI and having a problem within my controller. I thought the way to use it was to have something like:
public class InboxController : ApiController
{
private IInboxService _inboxService;
public InboxController(IInboxService inboxService)
{
_inboxService = inboxService;
}
public IEnumerable<MessageModel> GetAll()
{
return _inboxService.GetAllMessages();
}
[HttpGet("Inbox/Count")]
public int GetInboxCount()
{
return _inboxService.GetMessageCount();
}
}
However I get the following error: Error 2 'System.Web.Http.HttpGetAttribute' does not contain a constructor that takes 1 arguments
I need to get this up and running fairly quickly. Is there any reason why the HttpGet attribute doesn't have an overloaded constructor?
UPDATE
[GET("Inbox/EnquiryCount")]
public EnquiryCountModel GetEnquiryCounts()
{
var model = new EnquiryCountModel();
model.EnquiryCount = _inboxService.GetCustomerEnquiriesCount();
model.EnquiryResponseCount = _inboxService.GetCustomerEnquiryResponseCount();
return model;
}
In routes:
routes.MapHttpRoute("InboxEnquiryApi", "api/inbox/{action}", new { Controller = "Inbox" }, null, new WebApiAuthenticationHandler(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration));
When I hit the URL at 'api/inbox/EnquiryCount' I get the this error:
**No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://localhost:49597/api/inbox/enquirycount'**
Attribute routing is supported in Web api 2
