With the introduction of the Apicontroller attribute in asp.net core 2.1, I wonder how do I get the api and normal methods to work in the same controller.

[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class OrderController : ControllerBase

 [HttpPost]
 public async Task<IActionResult> SaveOrder(SaveOrderModel model)
 
 //...
 

 public async Task<IActionResult> CustomerOrders()
 
 if (!User.IsInRole("Customer"))
 return Challenge();
 var customer = await _workContext.CurrentCustomer();

 var model = await orderModelFactory.PrepareCustomerOrderListModel();
 return View(model);
 

I can call post method /api/order/saveorder but cannot run the https://example.com/order/customerorders.

It shows an exceptions: InvalidOperationException: Action
'.CustomerOrders ' does not have an attribute route. Action methods on
controllers annotated with ApiControllerAttribute must be attribute
routed.

If I remove [ApiController] and [Route("api/[controller]")] on the controller level and instead put on the method level, then it surely works. still don't know if there's any better hybrid solution for these methods as i want to use this new ApiController feature.

[Route("/api/controller/saveorder")]
public async Task<IActionResult> SaveOrder(SaveOrderModel model)

Any input is greatly appreciated.

You are saying, that you cannot call https://example.com/order/customerorders. In your [Route("api/[controller]")] you define, that all Methods inside this controller will be available at https://example.com/api/order/.

So to call your method, you need to call https://example.com/api/order/customerorders.

If you want to stay with https://example.com/order/customerorders, you need to put the [Route] attributes at your methods:

[ApiController]
public class OrderController : ControllerBase

 [HttpPost("api/order")]
 public async Task<IActionResult> SaveOrder(SaveOrderModel model)
 
 ...

 

 [HttpGet("order/customerorders")]
 public async Task<IActionResult> CustomerOrders()
 
 if (!User.IsInRole("Customer"))
 return Challenge();
 var customer = await _workContext.CurrentCustomer();

 var model = await orderModelFactory.PrepareCustomerOrderListModel();
 return View(model);
