301 redirect (list)

Question

User-195907812 posted

I am redirecting URLs using this rule format

routes.MapRoute(
   name: "route_redirect_about",
   url: "/pages/about",
   defaults: new { controller = "mypagecontroller", action = "about" }
);

This works but when you have 50+ the code is quite lengthy.

Is there a way I can reduce the length of each redirect or create a list (without using the database)?

Thank you

You are sharing a route not a redirect.

if you just want to rename the controller its:

routes.MapRoute(
   name: "route_redirect_pages",
   url: "/pages/{action}",
   defaults: new { controller = "mypagecontroller", action = "about" }
);

or rename mypagecontroller to pagescontroller and use default routes.

you could also switch to attribute routing
