Can't get HTTP PUT request to work in ASP.NET Core

Question

I'm trying to update an entry in the game table. However, my PUT request in ASP.NET never seems to trigger, and I can't figure out why.

This is controller in ASP.NET:

[Route("game/{update.GameID}")]
[HttpPut]
public IActionResult updateGame([FromBody]Game update)
{
    var result = context.Games.SingleOrDefault(g => g.GameID == update.GameID);
    if (result != null)
    {
        result = update;
        context.SaveChanges();
    }
    return Created("", result);
}

And this is the code I use in Angular:

url:string;
constructor(private _http: HttpClient) {
    this.url = "https://localhost:44359/api/v1/"
};

putGame(id:number, game:Game){
    return this._http.put(this.url + "game/" + id, game);
}

Edit 1: I do have a list of GET-requests, which all work just fine. It's only the PUT-request that fails.

If you are using PUT request you need to add a resource id either to update or create new - so just don't combine your id with your object

[HttpPut("game/{id}")]
public IActionResult UpdateGame(int id, [FromBody]Game update) {
    //...
}

If you are using Asp.net Core you can just re-write your URL on your HTTP verbs attribute like the code above - So pass your resource id in the URL and bind your object in the body - Your URL should read as https://localhost:44359/api/v1/game/2

Hope this helps you - Happy coding !!
