Clean URLs in Umbraco 13

In previous versions of Umbraco I used to use the UrlRewriting file to get an URL which was built like
/GetCustomer?id=2®ion=1
This was cleaned up to look like
/GetCustomer/2/1/John
What would be the correct way to do this in Umbraco 13?
Thank you

05/14/2024, 7:46 PMIf you want it to work that way I think you need to make a custom route for it
Ambert
05/14/2024, 7:47 PMSomething like
Copy code
csharp
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
name: "getCustomer",
pattern: "GetCustomer/{id}/{region}/{name}",
defaults: new { controller = "YourControllerName", action = "GetCustomer" }
);
});Ambert

05/14/2024, 7:51 PMYou could also add an UrlRewriting middleware rule that
rewrites URLs from /GetCustomer/2/1/John to /GetCustomer?id=2®ion=1&name=John.

05/14/2024, 7:52 PMI cant find a correct doc link for it, but something like this:
Copy code
csharp
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
app.UseRewriter(new RewriteOptions()
.AddRewrite(@"^GetCustomer/(\d+)/(\d+)/(\w+)$", "GetCustomer?id=$1®ion=$2&name=$3", skipRemainingRules: true)
// Add more rewrite rules if needed
);
// Other middleware configurations
}t

05/15/2024, 2:01 PMThere are a few umbraco ways too.. https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/routing/custom-routes#custom-route-with-ivirtualpagecontroller

05/15/2024, 2:02 PMAlso forgive me if I'm wrong... but could that be an api endpoint? which you could configure with attribute routing?
