In ASP.NET 4 this was as easy as routes.LowercaseUrls = true;
in the RegisterRoutes
handler for the app.
I cannot find an equivalent in ASP.NET Core for achieving this. I'd think it would be here:
app.UseMvc(configureRoutes =>
{
configureRoutes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller=App}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
But nothing in configureRoutes
looks to allow it... unless there's an extension method somewhere that I can't find in the docs perhaps?
For ASP.NET Core:
Add the following line to the ConfigureServices
method of the Startup
class.
services.AddRouting(options => options.LowercaseUrls = true);
Thanks to Skorunka for the answer as a comment. I thought it was worth promoting to an actual answer.
As other answers indicate, adding:
services.Configure<RouteOptions>(options => options.LowercaseUrls = true);
before
services.AddMvc(...)
works great, but I also want to add that if you use Identity, you will also need:
services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>(options =>
{
var appCookie = options.Cookies.ApplicationCookie;
appCookie.LoginPath = appCookie.LoginPath.ToString().ToLowerInvariant();
appCookie.LogoutPath = appCookie.LogoutPath.ToString().ToLowerInvariant();
appCookie.ReturnUrlParameter = appCookie.ReturnUrlParameter.ToString().ToLowerInvariant();
});
And obviously, replace both IdentityUser
, and IdentityRole
with your own classes if required.
I just tested this with .NET Core SDK 1.0.4 and the 1.0.5 runtime.
Found the solution.
In the assembly: Microsoft.AspNet.Routing
, and the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
namespace, you can do this in your ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
method:
services.ConfigureRouting(setupAction =>
{
setupAction.LowercaseUrls = true;
});
Update in ASP.NET Core 2.2
From ASP.NET Core 2.2, along with lowercase you can also make your route dashed using ConstraintMap
which will make your route /Employee/EmployeeDetails/1
to /employee/employee-details/1
instead of /employee/employeedetails/1
.
To do so, in the ConfigureServices
method of the Startup
class:
services.AddRouting(option =>
{
option.ConstraintMap["slugify"] = typeof(SlugifyParameterTransformer);
option.LowercaseUrls = true;
});
And the SlugifyParameterTransformer
class should be as follows:
public class SlugifyParameterTransformer : IOutboundParameterTransformer
{
public string TransformOutbound(object value)
{
// Slugify value
return value == null ? null : Regex.Replace(value.ToString(), "([a-z])([A-Z])", "$1-$2").ToLower();
}
}
And Route configuration should be as follows:
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller:slugify}/{action:slugify}/{id?}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" });
});
This is will make /Employee/EmployeeDetails/1
route to /employee/employee-details/1
For identity, @Jorge Yanes Diez answer doesn't work in ASP.NET Core 2.2
(I think 2.x), so if you use Identity and ASP.NET Core 2.2 (2.x) here is the solution:
services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
{
options.LoginPath = "/account/login";
options.ReturnUrlParameter = "returnurl";
...
});

I had this on RegisterRoutes::RouteConfig:
routes.LowercaseUrls = true;
