Orchard routing rule

How this can be "translated" to Orchard

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Durandal App Views",
    url: "App/views/{viewName}.cshtml",
    defaults: new { controller = "DurandalView", action = "Get" }
);

I tried to make theme based on this.

It is not working and breaks all Orchard site

    public class Routes : IRouteProvider {
    public void GetRoutes(ICollection<RouteDescriptor> routes) {
        foreach (var routeDescriptor in GetRoutes())
            routes.Add(routeDescriptor);
    }

    public IEnumerable<RouteDescriptor> GetRoutes()
    {
        return new[] {
            new RouteDescriptor {
                Priority = 5,
                Route = new Route(
                    "/App/views/{viewName}.cshmtl",
                    new RouteValueDictionary {
                        {"area", "Durandal"},
                        {"controller", "DurandalView"},
                        {"action", "Get"}
                    },
                    new RouteValueDictionary(),
                    new RouteValueDictionary {
                        {"area", "Durandal"}
                    },
                    new MvcRouteHandler())
            }
        };
    }
}`

So it looks like, you are creating your Controller in a Theme.
Why dont you try to build it as a module first.
Going through some tutorials will not harm as Orchard powerful extensibility capabilities take a bit to tune in to.
Orchard Tutorials
Having said that,...
1. Create a Module
2. Add your Routing
3. Create your Get Action
4. Get your View under the Module's Views folder, probably in a folder called DurandalView like the controller.


Then you're left with calling the view. Why don't you just try return View(viewName);
You could also have a look at this related question on how to call diferent views SO Question. There, you will be able to see why your ~/App/Views.. will never work. or will not work with the actual folder structure.

@ErMasca this was copy-paste error actually code is right - .cshtml

new RouteDescriptor {
                Priority = -15,
                Route = new Route(
                    "/App/views/{viewName}.cshtml",
                    new RouteValueDictionary {
                        {"area", "Durandal"},
                        {"controller", "DurandalView"},
                        {"action", "Get"}
                    },
                    new RouteValueDictionary(),
                    new RouteValueDictionary {
                        {"area", "Durandal"}
                    },
                    new MvcRouteHandler())
            }

Here is controller code as requested

[Themed]
public class DurandalViewController : Controller
{
    private readonly IContentManager _contentManager;
    private readonly IWorkContextAccessor _workContextAccessor;
    public DurandalViewController(IContentManager contentManager, IWorkContextAccessor workContextAccessor, IShapeFactory shapeFactory, IOrchardServices services)
    {
        _contentManager = contentManager;
        _workContextAccessor = workContextAccessor;
        Shape = shapeFactory;
        Services = services;
        T = NullLocalizer.Instance;
    }

    dynamic Shape { get; set; }
    public IOrchardServices Services { get; private set; }
    public Localizer T { get; set; }


    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Get(string viewName)
    {
        return View("~/App/views/" + viewName + ".cshtml");
    }

    //public ActionResult Display(int id)
    //{
    //    var contentItem = _contentManager.Get(id, VersionOptions.Published);
    //    dynamic model = _contentManager.BuildDisplay(contentItem);
    //    var ctx = _workContextAccessor.GetContext();
    //    ctx.Layout.Metadata.Alternates.Add("Layout_Null");
    //    return new ShapeResult(this, model);
    //}
}

Orchard alias module enabled

request to http://localhost:30321/OrchardLocal/Themes/Durandal/App/views/shell.cshtml gives 404 and no Controller has been invoked

It brakes Orchard at all when priority is set to 100 as exmp

Actually, if you look at this 

Route = new Route("/App/views/{viewName}.cshmtl", ....

Your View filename is followed by .cshmtl when it should be .cshtml

Try changing the filetype, that should do it.
