webapi中的Route的标签的命名参数name的使用

Route Names

In Web API, every route has a name. Route names are useful for generating links, so that you can include a link in an HTTP response.

To specify the route name, set the Name property on the attribute. The following example shows how to set the route name, and also how to use the route name when generating a link.

public class BooksController : ApiController
{
    [Route("api/books/{id}", Name="GetBookById")]
    public BookDto GetBook(int id) 
    {
        // Implementation not shown...
    }

    [Route("api/books")]
    public HttpResponseMessage Post(Book book)
    {
        // Validate and add book to database (not shown)

        var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created);

        // Generate a link to the new book and set the Location header in the response.
        string uri = Url.Link("GetBookById", new { id = book.BookId });
        response.Headers.Location = new Uri(uri);
        return response;
    }
}

可用于生成一个链接.
