How to access multiple HTTP GET actions in same controller? - angularjs

Question

Here is my web api controller:
[HttpGet]
public HttpResponseMessage SensorData(string id)
{
try
{
Responds data = AccessRemote.GetDataFromDevice(id);
DataResponds dataResponds = data.ReturnDatRequest[0];
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, dataResponds);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden, ex.Message);
}
}
[HttpGet]
public HttpResponseMessage GetLogs(string GetRecordsById)
{
try
{
IQueryable<SensorInfo> data = sensorResultsRepos.Get();
HttpResponseMessage response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, data);
return response;
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}
Here is my resource angularjs definition:
(function () {
"use strict";
angular.module("sensorManagement").factory("SensorResource",
["$resource",
SensorResource])
function SensorResource($resource) {
return $resource("http://localhost:1234/api/SomeData/:id");
}
}());
Here is web api route:
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
// Web API configuration and services
// Web API routes
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
"DefaultApiSensor",
"api/{controller}/{id}",
new { controller = "Sensor", id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
}
At some point I need to access to SensorData action or to GetLogs action using the SensorResource service.
The problem that they are both HTTP GET and both have one parameter.
How can I make call to SensorData and to GetLogs if they in one controller and the have sane http get type?

You can use Attribute Routing to easily solve this problem. See this link for more information regarding this topic.
[HttpGet]
[Route("sensor/{id}")]
public HttpResponseMessage SensorData(string id)
{
try
{
Responds data = AccessRemote.GetDataFromDevice(id);
DataResponds dataResponds = data.ReturnDatRequest[0];
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, dataResponds);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden, ex.Message);
}
}
[HttpGet]
[Route("logs/{GetRecordsById}")]
public HttpResponseMessage GetLogs(string GetRecordsById)
{
try
{
IQueryable<SensorInfo> data = sensorResultsRepos.Get();
HttpResponseMessage response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, data);
return response;
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}
