Comprensión del conducto básico de solicitud y respuesta de ASP.NET - Parte 4: Enrutamiento y puntos finales

Sunday, 09 November 2025

Introducción

Hemos viajado a través de la capa de alojamiento, explorado Kestrel, y dominado middleware. Ahora llegamos a una pregunta crucial: una vez que una solicitud lo hace a través de su tubería de middleware, ¿cómo ASP.NET Core sabe qué código para ejecutar? enrutamiento y endpoints.

El enrutamiento es el mecanismo que coincide con las solicitudes HTTP entrantes al código ejecutable. Los puntos finales son los destinos, el código real que se ejecuta. Juntos, forman un sistema potente y flexible que soporta todo, desde manejadores de rutas simples hasta aplicaciones MVC complejas.

En esta parte, exploraremos cómo funciona el enrutamiento, cómo se registran y ejecutan los puntos finales y cómo se puede aprovechar este sistema para crear aplicaciones sofisticadas.

NOTA: Esto es parte de mis experimentos con IA / una manera de gastar $1000 créditos de Código Calude Web. He alimentado esto un montón de documentos, mi comprensión, preguntas que tuve que generar este artículo. Es divertido y llena un vacío que no he visto llenado en ningún otro lugar.

La evolución del enrutamiento

El enrutamiento del núcleo de ASP.NET ha evolucionado significativamente:

timeline
    title ASP.NET Core Routing Evolution
    ASP.NET Core 1.0 - 2.2 : Traditional Routing : Routes defined in middleware : MapRoute for MVC
    ASP.NET Core 3.0 - 3.1 : Endpoint Routing : UseRouting + UseEndpoints : Routing metadata aware
    ASP.NET Core 6.0+ : Minimal APIs : Direct MapGet/MapPost : Simplified registration

Enrutamiento tradicional (pre-3.0):

app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
    routes.MapRoute("default", "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});

Enrutamiento de punto final (3.0+):

app.UseRouting();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
    endpoints.MapControllers();
});

APIs mínimas modernas (6.0+):

app.MapGet("/users/{id}", (int id) => $"User {id}");

Cómo funciona el enrutamiento: el proceso de dos fases

El encaminamiento del punto final funciona en dos fases:

graph LR
    A[Request] --> B[Routing Middleware]
    B --> C{Match Route?}
    C -->|Yes| D[Set Endpoint]
    C -->|No| E[No Endpoint Set]
    D --> F[Authorization Middleware]
    E --> F
    F --> G[Other Middleware]
    G --> H[Endpoint Middleware]
    H --> I{Endpoint Exists?}
    I -->|Yes| J[Execute Endpoint]
    I -->|No| K[404 Not Found]

    style B stroke:#ef4444,stroke-width:3px
    style H stroke:#10b981,stroke-width:3px
    style J stroke:#6366f1,stroke-width:3px

Fase 1: Coincidencia de rutas (`UseRouting()`)

El middleware de enrutamiento examina la solicitud e intenta que coincida con un endpoint registrado:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Phase 1: Route matching happens here
app.UseRouting();

// Between routing and endpoints, you can use middleware that needs route information
app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
    var endpoint = context.GetEndpoint();
    if (endpoint != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Matched endpoint: {endpoint.DisplayName}");

        // Access route values
        var routeValues = context.Request.RouteValues;
        foreach (var (key, value) in routeValues)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"  {key} = {value}");
        }
    }

    await next(context);
});

app.UseAuthorization(); // Can make decisions based on matched endpoint

// Phase 2: Endpoint execution happens here
app.MapGet("/users/{id}", (int id) => $"User {id}");

app.Run();

Diagrama de flujo:

sequenceDiagram
    participant Request
    participant Routing as UseRouting
    participant Auth as UseAuthorization
    participant Endpoint as Endpoint Middleware

    Request->>Routing: GET /users/123
    Note over Routing: Parse URL<br/>Match against patterns<br/>Extract route values
    Routing->>Routing: Found match: /users/{id}
    Routing->>Routing: Set endpoint metadata<br/>Set route values {id: 123}

    Routing->>Auth: Continue with endpoint set
    Note over Auth: Can check endpoint metadata<br/>for [Authorize] attributes

    Auth->>Endpoint: Continue
    Note over Endpoint: Endpoint is set
    Endpoint->>Endpoint: Execute matched endpoint<br/>with route values

    Endpoint->>Request: Return response

Fase 2: Ejecución del punto final

El endpoint middleware ejecuta el endpoint emparejado:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.UseRouting();

// This middleware runs BEFORE endpoint execution
app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("Before endpoint execution");
    await next(context);
    Console.WriteLine("After endpoint execution");
});

// Endpoint execution happens here
app.MapGet("/", () =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("Executing endpoint");
    return "Hello World";
});

app.Run();

Producto:

Before endpoint execution
Executing endpoint
After endpoint execution

Plantillas de ruta

Las plantillas de ruta definen el patrón de URL para que coincida:

Plantillas básicas

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Literal path
app.MapGet("/", () => "Home page");

// Single parameter
app.MapGet("/users/{id}", (int id) => $"User {id}");

// Multiple parameters
app.MapGet("/posts/{year}/{month}/{day}", (int year, int month, int day) =>
    $"Posts from {year}-{month:D2}-{day:D2}");

// Optional parameter
app.MapGet("/products/{id?}", (int? id) =>
    id.HasValue ? $"Product {id}" : "All products");

// Default value
app.MapGet("/search/{query=all}", (string query) =>
    $"Searching for: {query}");

// Catch-all parameter
app.MapGet("/files/{*path}", (string path) =>
    $"File path: {path}");

app.Run();

Ejemplos:

GET /                           → "Home page"
GET /users/123                  → "User 123"
GET /posts/2024/1/15            → "Posts from 2024-01-15"
GET /products                   → "All products"
GET /products/42                → "Product 42"
GET /search                     → "Searching for: all"
GET /search/aspnet              → "Searching for: aspnet"
GET /files/docs/guide.pdf       → "File path: docs/guide.pdf"

Limitaciones de la ruta

Las restricciones garantizan que los parámetros coincidan con patrones específicos:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Integer constraint
app.MapGet("/users/{id:int}", (int id) =>
    $"User {id}");

// Minimum value
app.MapGet("/products/{id:int:min(1)}", (int id) =>
    $"Product {id}");

// Range
app.MapGet("/items/{id:int:range(1,100)}", (int id) =>
    $"Item {id}");

// String length
app.MapGet("/codes/{code:length(5)}", (string code) =>
    $"Code {code}");

// Min/max length
app.MapGet("/names/{name:minlength(2):maxlength(20)}", (string name) =>
    $"Name {name}");

// Regex
app.MapGet("/posts/{slug:regex(^[a-z0-9-]+$)}", (string slug) =>
    $"Post slug: {slug}");

// GUID
app.MapGet("/orders/{id:guid}", (Guid id) =>
    $"Order {id}");

// DateTime
app.MapGet("/appointments/{date:datetime}", (DateTime date) =>
    $"Appointment on {date:yyyy-MM-dd}");

// Alpha (letters only)
app.MapGet("/tags/{tag:alpha}", (string tag) =>
    $"Tag: {tag}");

// Multiple constraints (AND)
app.MapGet("/archive/{year:int:min(2000):max(2030)}", (int year) =>
    $"Archive for {year}");

app.Run();

Limitaciones incorporadas:

Limitación # # Ejemplo # # Coincidencias # # Coincidencias

|------------|---------|---------| | int | {id:int} | 123, -456 | | bool | {active:bool} # Verdadero, falso # | datetime | {date:datetime} | 2024-01-15 | | decimal | {price:decimal} | 19.99 | | double | {lat:double} | 51.5074 | | float | {temp:float} | 98.6 | | guid | {id:guid} 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 | long | {size:long} | 9223372036854775807 | | minlength(n) | {name:minlength(3)} abc, abcd | maxlength(n) | {name:maxlength(5)} abc, abcde | length(n) | {code:length(5)} abcde | min(n) | {age:min(18)} | 18, 19, 100 | | max(n) | {age:max(120)} | 1, 100, 120 | | range(min,max) | {num:range(1,10)} | 1, 5, 10 | | alpha | {tag:alpha} abc, XYZ | regex(pattern) | {code:regex(^[A-Z]{3}$)} ABC, XYZ | required | {id:required} # Cualquier valor no vacío #

Limitaciones de ensayo:

# ✅ Matches {id:int}
GET /users/123          → Success

# ❌ Doesn't match {id:int}
GET /users/abc          → 404

# ✅ Matches {id:int:min(1)}
GET /products/5         → Success

# ❌ Doesn't match {id:int:min(1)}
GET /products/0         → 404
GET /products/-1        → 404

Limitaciones de la ruta personalizada

Cree sus propias restricciones:

// Custom constraint: validates slugs
public class SlugConstraint : IRouteConstraint
{
    private readonly Regex _regex = new Regex(@"^[a-z0-9]+(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*$",
        RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

    public bool Match(HttpContext? httpContext, IRouter? route, string routeKey,
        RouteValueDictionary values, RouteDirection routeDirection)
    {
        if (values.TryGetValue(routeKey, out var value) && value != null)
        {
            var slug = value.ToString();
            return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(slug) && _regex.IsMatch(slug);
        }

        return false;
    }
}

// Register the constraint
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.Configure<RouteOptions>(options =>
{
    options.ConstraintMap.Add("slug", typeof(SlugConstraint));
});

var app = builder.Build();

// Use the custom constraint
app.MapGet("/blog/{slug:slug}", (string slug) =>
    $"Blog post: {slug}");

app.Run();

Ensayo:

GET /blog/my-first-post          → ✅ "Blog post: my-first-post"
GET /blog/hello-world-2024       → ✅ "Blog post: hello-world-2024"
GET /blog/My_Invalid_Slug        → ❌ 404
GET /blog/has spaces             → ❌ 404

Prioridades de Ruta y Ordenamiento

Cuando varias rutas coinciden, ASP.NET Core utiliza un sistema de prioridad:

graph TD
    A[Incoming Request] --> B{Route Matching}
    B --> C[Order by Priority]
    C --> D[ Literal segments highest]
    D --> E[ Constrained parameters]
    E --> F[ Unconstrained parameters]
    F --> G[ Optional parameters]
    G --> H[ Catch-all parameters lowest]
    H --> I[Select first match]

Ejemplo

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Priority 1: Literal segments (highest priority)
app.MapGet("/users/admin", () => "Admin user endpoint");

// Priority 2: Constrained parameter
app.MapGet("/users/{id:int}", (int id) => $"User {id}");

// Priority 3: Unconstrained parameter
app.MapGet("/users/{username}", (string username) => $"User @{username}");

// Priority 4: Optional parameter
app.MapGet("/users/{id:int?}", (int? id) =>
    id.HasValue ? $"User {id}" : "All users");

// Priority 5: Catch-all (lowest priority)
app.MapGet("/users/{*path}", (string path) => $"Catch-all: {path}");

app.Run();

Comportamiento correspondiente:

GET /users/admin        → "Admin user endpoint" (literal match)
GET /users/123          → "User 123" (constrained parameter)
GET /users/john         → "User @john" (unconstrained parameter)
GET /users/admin/test   → "Catch-all: admin/test" (catch-all)

También puede establecer un orden explícito:

app.MapGet("/products/{id}", (int id) => $"Product {id}")
    .WithOrder(1);

app.MapGet("/products/featured", () => "Featured products")
    .WithOrder(0); // Lower number = higher priority

Encuadernación de parámetros

ASP.NET Core puede enlazar parámetros de ruta desde múltiples fuentes:

Valores de la ruta

app.MapGet("/users/{id}/posts/{postId}", (int id, int postId) =>
    $"User {id}, Post {postId}");

Cadena de consulta

app.MapGet("/search", (string? q, int page = 1, int pageSize = 10) =>
    $"Query: {q}, Page: {page}, Size: {pageSize}");

// GET /search?q=aspnet&page=2&pageSize=20

Cabeceras

app.MapGet("/api/data", ([FromHeader(Name = "X-API-Key")] string apiKey) =>
    $"API Key: {apiKey}");

Cuerpo

app.MapPost("/users", ([FromBody] User user) =>
{
    return Results.Created($"/users/{user.Id}", user);
});

public record User(int Id, string Name, string Email);

Servicios (Inyección por Dependencia)

app.MapGet("/data", (IMyService service) =>
{
    var data = service.GetData();
    return data;
});

HttpContext

app.MapGet("/info", (HttpContext context) =>
{
    var userAgent = context.Request.Headers["User-Agent"];
    var ip = context.Connection.RemoteIpAddress;

    return new
    {
        UserAgent = userAgent.ToString(),
        IpAddress = ip?.ToString()
    };
});

Ejemplo de unión compleja

public record CreatePostRequest(string Title, string Content, List<string> Tags);

app.MapPost("/api/posts",
    async (
        [FromRoute] int userId,
        [FromQuery] bool publish,
        [FromBody] CreatePostRequest request,
        [FromHeader(Name = "X-Request-ID")] string requestId,
        [FromServices] IPostService postService,
        HttpContext context) =>
    {
        var post = await postService.CreatePostAsync(
            userId,
            request.Title,
            request.Content,
            request.Tags,
            publish
        );

        context.Response.Headers["X-Request-ID"] = requestId;

        return Results.Created($"/api/posts/{post.Id}", post);
    });

// POST /api/posts?publish=true
// Header: X-Request-ID: abc123
// Body: { "title": "Hello", "content": "World", "tags": ["aspnet", "routing"] }

Metadatos de punto final

Los puntos finales pueden tener metadatos que los describen:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddAuthorization();

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuthorization();

// Add metadata with extension methods
app.MapGet("/public", () => "Public endpoint")
    .WithName("GetPublic")
    .WithDisplayName("Public Endpoint")
    .WithDescription("A public endpoint that anyone can access")
    .WithTags("Public");

app.MapGet("/private", () => "Private endpoint")
    .RequireAuthorization() // Adds [Authorize] metadata
    .WithName("GetPrivate");

app.MapGet("/admin", () => "Admin only")
    .RequireAuthorization("AdminPolicy");

// Access metadata
app.Map("/metadata", (IEndpointRouteBuilder endpoints) =>
{
    var dataSources = endpoints.DataSources;

    var endpointList = dataSources
        .SelectMany(ds => ds.Endpoints)
        .OfType<RouteEndpoint>()
        .Select(e => new
        {
            Name = e.Metadata.GetMetadata<IEndpointNameMetadata>()?.EndpointName,
            DisplayName = e.DisplayName,
            Route = e.RoutePattern.RawText,
            RequiresAuth = e.Metadata.GetMetadata<IAuthorizeData>() != null
        });

    return endpointList;
});

app.Run();

Producto del /metadata:

[
  {
    "name": "GetPublic",
    "displayName": "Public Endpoint",
    "route": "/public",
    "requiresAuth": false
  },
  {
    "name": "GetPrivate",
    "displayName": null,
    "route": "/private",
    "requiresAuth": true
  },
  {
    "name": null,
    "displayName": null,
    "route": "/admin",
    "requiresAuth": true
  }
]

Grupos de rutas

Endpoints relacionados con grupos con configuración compartida:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Create a group with common prefix
var api = app.MapGroup("/api");

// All these routes are prefixed with /api
api.MapGet("/users", () => "Get all users");
api.MapGet("/users/{id}", (int id) => $"Get user {id}");
api.MapPost("/users", () => "Create user");

// Nested groups
var v1 = api.MapGroup("/v1");
v1.MapGet("/products", () => "V1 products");

var v2 = api.MapGroup("/v2");
v2.MapGet("/products", () => "V2 products");

// Groups with shared metadata
var adminApi = app.MapGroup("/admin")
    .RequireAuthorization("AdminPolicy")
    .WithTags("Admin");

adminApi.MapGet("/users", () => "Admin: Get users");
adminApi.MapDelete("/users/{id}", (int id) => $"Admin: Delete user {id}");

app.Run();

Rutas creadas:

GET    /api/users
GET    /api/users/{id}
POST   /api/users
GET    /api/v1/products
GET    /api/v2/products
GET    /admin/users          [Authorize(AdminPolicy)]
DELETE /admin/users/{id}     [Authorize(AdminPolicy)]

Visualización:

Escenarios avanzados de enrutamiento

Negociación de contenidos por ruta

app.MapGet("/data.json", () => Results.Json(new { data = "JSON" }));
app.MapGet("/data.xml", () => Results.Text("<data>XML</data>", "application/xml"));
app.MapGet("/data", (HttpContext context) =>
{
    var accept = context.Request.Headers["Accept"].ToString();

    if (accept.Contains("application/json"))
        return Results.Json(new { data = "JSON" });

    if (accept.Contains("application/xml"))
        return Results.Text("<data>XML</data>", "application/xml");

    return Results.Json(new { data = "Default JSON" });
});

Rutas localizadas

// English routes
app.MapGet("/en/products", () => "Products");
app.MapGet("/en/about", () => "About Us");

// Spanish routes
app.MapGet("/es/productos", () => "Productos");
app.MapGet("/es/acerca", () => "Acerca de Nosotros");

// Dynamic culture from route
app.MapGet("/{culture}/home", (string culture) =>
{
    CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(culture);
    return $"Home (Culture: {culture})";
});

APIs con versiones

// Version in route
var v1 = app.MapGroup("/api/v1");
v1.MapGet("/users", () => new { version = 1, users = new[] { "Alice", "Bob" } });

var v2 = app.MapGroup("/api/v2");
v2.MapGet("/users", () => new { version = 2, users = new[]
{
    new { id = 1, name = "Alice" },
    new { id = 2, name = "Bob" }
}});

// Version in query string
app.MapGet("/api/users", (int version = 1) =>
{
    if (version == 2)
        return Results.Json(new { version = 2, users = new[]
        {
            new { id = 1, name = "Alice" },
            new { id = 2, name = "Bob" }
        }});

    return Results.Json(new { version = 1, users = new[] { "Alice", "Bob" } });
});

// Version in header
app.MapGet("/api/data", (HttpContext context) =>
{
    var version = context.Request.Headers["X-API-Version"].FirstOrDefault() ?? "1";
~~~~
    return version switch
    {
        "2" => Results.Json(new { version = 2, data = "New format" }),
        _ => Results.Json(new { version = 1, data = "Old format" })
    };
});

Enrutamiento del subdominio

app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
    var host = context.Request.Host.Host;

    if (host.StartsWith("api."))
    {
        context.Request.RouteValues["area"] = "api";
    }
    else if (host.StartsWith("admin."))
    {
        context.Request.RouteValues["area"] = "admin";
    }

    await next(context);
});

app.MapGet("/", (HttpContext context) =>
{
    var area = context.Request.RouteValues["area"]?.ToString() ?? "main";

    return area switch
    {
        "api" => "API area",
        "admin" => "Admin area",
        _ => "Main area"
    };
});

Depuración de la ruta

Ver todas las rutas registradas:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/users", () => "Users");
app.MapPost("/users", () => "Create user");
app.MapGet("/products/{id:int}", (int id) => $"Product {id}");

// Endpoint to inspect all routes
app.MapGet("/routes", (IEnumerable<EndpointDataSource> endpointSources) =>
{
    var endpoints = endpointSources
        .SelectMany(es => es.Endpoints)
        .OfType<RouteEndpoint>();

    var routes = endpoints.Select(e => new
    {
        Name = e.Metadata.GetMetadata<IEndpointNameMetadata>()?.EndpointName,
        Pattern = e.RoutePattern.RawText,
        Order = e.Order,
        HttpMethods = e.Metadata.GetMetadata<IHttpMethodMetadata>()?.HttpMethods,
        Metadata = e.Metadata.Select(m => m.GetType().Name)
    });

    return Results.Json(routes);
});

app.Run();

Producto del /routes:

[
  {
    "name": null,
    "pattern": "/users",
    "order": 0,
    "httpMethods": ["GET"],
    "metadata": ["HttpMethodMetadata", ...]
  },
  {
    "name": null,
    "pattern": "/users",
    "order": 0,
    "httpMethods": ["POST"],
    "metadata": ["HttpMethodMetadata", ...]
  },
  {
    "name": null,
    "pattern": "/products/{id:int}",
    "order": 0,
    "httpMethods": ["GET"],
    "metadata": ["HttpMethodMetadata", "RoutePatternMetadata", ...]
  }
]

Consideraciones sobre el desempeño

Caché de ruta

// Routes are compiled and cached at startup
// This is fast:
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
    app.MapGet($"/endpoint{i}", () => $"Endpoint {i}");
}

// At runtime, route matching is O(1) for most cases

Generación de enlaces

Generar URLs de rutas:

app.MapGet("/users/{id}", (int id) => $"User {id}")
    .WithName("GetUser");

app.MapGet("/generate-link", (LinkGenerator linkGenerator, HttpContext context) =>
{
    var url = linkGenerator.GetPathByName("GetUser", new { id = 123 });
    // url = "/users/123"

    var absoluteUrl = linkGenerator.GetUriByName(context, "GetUser", new { id = 123 });
    // absoluteUrl = "https://localhost:5001/users/123"

    return new { url, absoluteUrl };
});

Llaves para llevar

El enrutamiento es un proceso de dos fases: emparejamiento (UseRuting) y ejecución (puntos finales)
Las plantillas de ruta soportan parámetros, restricciones, valores opcionales y capturas
Las restricciones incorporadas validan los tipos y patrones de parámetros
Las restricciones personalizadas proporcionan la validación específica de la aplicación
Prioridad de la ruta: literales > parámetros restringidos > no restringidos > opcional > cat-all
Los parámetros pueden unirse desde rutas, cadenas de consulta, encabezados, cuerpo y servicios
Los metadatos de punto final permiten funciones como autorización y documentación
Los grupos de rutas simplifican la configuración de los puntos finales relacionados
Generación de enlaces crea URLs a partir de nombres de rutas
El sistema de enrutamiento está altamente optimizado para el rendimiento

El enrutamiento y los endpoints forman el puente entre las solicitudes HTTP y el código de la aplicación. Dominar este sistema le da un control preciso sobre cómo las URLs mapean la funcionalidad.
