MVC 5 Area Hide Home Controller in Url

I have a few areas in MVC 5 and each area has it's own HomeController. So URL looks like:

/domain/{area}/{controller}/{action}/{id}
/domain/myarea/home/myaction

Is it possible to configure routes to hide home controller name for each area? So the URL should look like: /domain/myarea/myaction - pointed to the home controller in area of course.

Thanks, Alex.

this is possible.

You'll need to configure the route as

app.MapControllerRoute(
    name: "root",
    pattern: "{area}/{action}/{id?}",
    defaults: new { area = "MyArea", controller = "Home", action = "MyAction" });

If it matches the default controller, the controller name will not show in the url.

You should be able to update the route pattern for your area registration to remove the controller name.

For example :

public class EventsAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
{
    public override string AreaName
    {
        get
        {
            return "Events";
        }
    }

    public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
    {
        context.MapRoute(
            "Events_default",
            "Events/{action}/{id}",
            new { action = "Index", controller = "Home", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
           new string[] { "MyProject.Areas.Events.Controllers" }
        );
    }
}

Now the request yourSite/Events/Details/23 will return Details action method of HomeController in your Events area.
