Multiple route attribute in same name is not supported while configuring for the HATEOAS library

[rajamadhu]

Scenerio: 

[HttpGet("~/areas/location/{id:int}", Name = "Get Locations")]  //Here  Name attribute is same as below route also.

[HttpGet("~/location/{id:int}", Name = "Get Locations")]  //route name aslo same ("Get Locations")

public async Task<IActionResult> Getlocation(int id)

{     

 _linksService.AddLinksAsync(locationmodel);     

// Already we have     

 }

we are aware that , route Name attribute cannot be support same name with more than one route.
Expected: 

[HttpGet("~/areas/location/{id:int}")]  //-- Here We will remove that Name attribute and instead of that we will pass that text in another parameter as below stated.[HttpGet("~/location/{id:int}")]

public async Task<IActionResult> Getlocation(int id)

{           

    _linksService.AddLinksAsync(locationmodel,"Get Locations");   

  // Possible to pass Rel info   (Or)

_linksService.AnotherExtensionMethod(locationmodel,"Get Locations");     

// Possible to pass Rel info             

}   

 

Also, I have configured the Startup like below:

services.AddLinks(config =>
{
config.UseRelativeHrefs();
config.ConfigureRelTransformation(transform => transform.Add(ctx => $"{ctx.LinkSpec.RouteName}"));

config.AddPolicy<Location>("LocationsPolicy", policy =>
{
policy.RequireRoutedLink("users", "Get Locations", x => new { id = x.Id });

});
});

Output :
"_links": {
"users": {
"rel": "Get Locations",
"href": "/api/locations/1/users",
"method": "GET"
}

Problem: In this case i have to create indivitual policy for each action methods.  N number of actions are there(with same name).

Can someone throw more light on how to resolve the issue?

Your help is much appreciated

This is not an enhancement I would make. If you want to submit a pull request for it, please feel free and I'll merge it in if appropriate. I would want to see tests covering the scenario.
