Route parameter with slash “/” in URL

Question

I know you can apply a wildcard in the route attribute to allow / such as date input for example:

[Route(\"orders/{*orderdate}\")]

Answer 1

You can use the following URI [Route("orders/{DD:int}/{MM:int}/{YY:int}}/customers")] and then use a custom model binder to take DD/MM/YY and turn them into a date that you can bind in your action method.

You can choose how you want to deal with constraints (go stricter with regex's) or use validation and return 400 if it doesn't match.

The simpler approach is, to take the Day/Month/Year and put it together in code.
