How to work RavenDB Id with ASP.NET MVC Routes
- by shiju
By default RavenDB's Id would be sperated by "/". Let's say that we have a category object, the Ids would be like "categories/1". This will make problems when working with ASP.NET MVC's route rule. For a route category/edit/id, the uri would be category/edit/categories/1. You can solve this problem in two waysSolution 1 - Change Id SeparatorWe can use different Id Separator for RavenDB Ids in order to working with ASP.NET MVC route rules. The following code specify that Ids would be seperated by "-" rather than the default "/"
documentStore = new DocumentStore { Url = "http://localhost:8080/" };
documentStore.Initialize();
documentStore.Conventions.IdentityPartsSeparator = "-";
The above IdentityPartsSeparator would be generate Ids like "categories-1"Solution 2 - Modify ASP.NET MVC Route Modify the ASP.NET MVC routes in the Global.asax.cs file, as shown in the following code
routes.MapRoute(
"WithParam", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{*id}" // URL with parameters
);
We just put "*" in front of the id variable that will be working with the default Id separator of RavenDB
