ASP.NET MVC 5 Attribute Routing

Enable attribute route

Global.asax

public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        // Enable attribute route
        RouteTable.Routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

        AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    }
}

or

RouteConfig.cs

public class RouteConfig
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
            
        // Enable attribute route
        routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

        AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );
    }
}

Direct route

public class BookController : Controller {

    // Map to 'http://prhythm.com.tw/Pet/10'
    [Route("Pet/{id}")]
    public ActionResult Pet(int? id) {
        return View();
    }

}

public class BookController : Controller {

    // Optional parameter id
    // Map to 'http://prhythm.com.tw/Pet'

    [Route("Pet/{id?}")]
    public ActionResult Pet(int? id) {

}

Default parameter value
